Fox News host Megyn Kelly told her network that she received death threats from Donald Trump supporters, New York magazine reported Tuesday.

The magazine's Gabriel Sherman did not elaborate on the nature of the threats, which he attributed to "one high-level source."

Trump raged at Kelly after she moderated the first Republican presidential debate last Wednesday. During the event, Kelly confronted him with derogatory comments he's made about women, including calling individual women "fat pigs" and "dogs."

"Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?" Kelly asked.

The real-estate magnate bristled and told Kelly he didn't have the time to be politically correct.

"I think the big problem this country has being politically correct. I've been challenged by so many people and I don't frankly have time for total political correctness," he said. "What I say is what I say. And honestly, Megyn, if you don't like it, I'm sorry. I've been very nice to you, although I could probably maybe not be based on the way you have treated me."

After the debate, Trump unloaded on both Kelly and Fox News.
