New York magazine's Gabriel Sherman reported Tuesday that Fox News star Megyn Kelly has accused the network's chairman of sexual harassment. The blockbuster report comes on the heels of Sherman's Monday story, citing sources at Fox News's parent company, indicating Roger Ailes was soon to be fired.
The decision to remove Ailes in the coming weeks was the result of misconduct discovered after a legal review of his actions in the wake of claims made by former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson. Carlson has filed suit in New Jersey Superior Court claiming the Fox News chairman requested they sleep together for favorable treatment. But it was unclear as to the immediate cause motivating Ailes pending dismissal, New York said, "until now." New York reported the bombshell revelation: "According to two sources briefed on parent company 21st Century Fox's outside probe of the Fox News executive, led by New York–based law firm Paul, Weiss, Kelly has told investigators that Ailes made unwanted sexual advances toward her about ten years ago when she was a young correspondent at Fox.
Kelly, according to the sources, has described her harassment by Ailes in detail." 21st Century Fox executives have told Ailes to quit by Aug. 1 or be fired, according to the report. Ailes has hired lawyer Susan Estrich, Michael Dukakis' former presidential campaign manager, to head up his defense strategy. New York also claims Ailes has turned to Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani for advice on the widening scandal. New York said Fox and its parent company, as well as Kelly, declined to comment for the story. Since the Carlson suit filed in June, nine women have accused Ailes of sexual harassment during his five decades as a media and entertainment executive.

I thought before you can claim sexual harassment you have to be brought aware of the offending behavior, then NOT stop it.
And we hear, she's demanding to be paid more than BOR?
Anyone doubt where this lady will be in the next few years...not on prime TV, I'll be.
Seems like every day after day, she is beginning to look like Rachel Mad-Cow. Is she doing this deliberately?
Megan's age is starting to show. How many face lifts can one get?
Joan Rivers died on the operating table having yet ANOTHER face lift. She was 80 years old.
Is that nose fixed?
I take a slightly different view. I have no doubt Ailes harassed women. It’s very common in entertainment. But some women want their cake and to eat it, too. Get job promotions from the boss and then turn on them once they get a little power.
what happened was that Ailes pointed to Meagan’s crotch and said “ I wouldn’t touch that with a ten foot pole”
She got the butch haircut and intentionally lowered her voice a few pitches after Trump (rightfully) called her a “bimbo” in the first debate. He’s completely in her empty head.
Sounds like Ailes will be on the way out anyway. Severance package, money spread around and non disclosure agreements.
Megan Kelly is 45 years old. She has nary a wrinkle. That mean cosmetic surgery. It's a MUST for women on the boobus toobus.
Sad way to have to live, but it IS her choice.
>>>I thought before you can claim sexual harassment you have to be brought aware of the offending behavior, then NOT stop it.
No, although such a situation might be favorable for the plaintiff in a legal contest.
One of two criteria must be met to qualify as sexual harassment:
- quid pro quo
- hostile environment
Since now at least two women have come forward with these claims, they are probably claiming that both criteria were satisfied.
Hostile takeover of Fox News, IMO. They will veer to the left now.
Another lady comes forward. It’s not just smoke anymore.
Lol. I must have missed that.
Any comment from Bret Hume?
The ladies are piling on to be part of the settlement, but look at his lawyers. I've disliked Kelly Megyn since the Trump thing. I don't watch her, don't know how anyone does. Trump would be dumb to go on her show ever again. Ailes, is crusty old guy, who gets his kicks flirting with young women. Probably harmless... but stupid.
Bottle blonde makes claims...she really did sleep her way to the top
I saw what’s her name Crowley on Bret’s panel. I recognized the voice but not the face
Nowadays, complimenting a woman on her dress can be interpreted as a “hostile work environment.” However, it’s now 8 women that I know of who have come out against Ailes.
Heeeerrre they come!
