It is real. It does happen. It happened to me at the young age of 15 at my very first job. Do you have a daughter? Or a wife? Or a sister? Or a mom?

I’ve been thinking for a long time that some of these Fox News gals were gonna get pissed when their lucrative contracts did not get renewed. It’s in the cards from day one. You hire super attractive women to paint the screen and act intelligent and when the inevitable day comes they get mad! The sad fact Gretchen can’t deal with is the good looks and sexual attraction that got her to the top and the big money has a brief and cruel timeline attached to it.
I was always "harassed"....we USED to call it being "TEASED" and it was because back then I was a bit attractive....only UGLY girls don't get harassed.....imho. and from 45 yrs if experience.
i like Steve Doocey and think he’s a real Conservative. He makes his feeling known. At first I was leery of his son, Peter,becoming a Fox correspondent but the young man is good.
Peter is WONDERFUL!!! Steve is GREAT!! I love them both...Kilmeade is the Gutfeld of F&F...which he was more serious. I watch Morning Joe...they talk a situation to death instead of 2 minute segments!!!
Pretty strong accusation....Since you obviously have either personal knowledge of what was said or you have taped recordings in your possession, how about letting us in on the scandal?
It's good to know resident FReepers who have insider information.........
” intelligent and insightful female journalist rather than a blond female prop. ..
That says it all folks. She wanted Doocy to treat her an insightful and intelligent” female journalist,” not an intelligent and insightful female journalist.
OT: years ago there was talk FR on about Gretchen and her time in Richmond. Something about an affair with a married man.... Mmmmm...her coworker. An affair woth he cowarker who was married!! Quite the scandal!
Hypocrite

Little Miss America was not a pure as she wants the world to believe.
I find it strange she worked there for 11 (count 'em!) ... 11 years... loses her show ....and NOW she files this lawsuit?
She dislikes Trump.
Besides someone having an affair with a married co-worker causing both if them to “voluntarily” leave the station better think twice before throwing stones.
She wasn't fired. Her contract was not renewed because her ratings sucked. She was not bringing in the $$$. It's a business and she may have found out she was not worth what she thought.
The very first day she was on as hostess on F&F she had a tiff with Brian.
The topic was illegal immigration. Brian has just read some figures about the number of illegals here.
Carlson spoke up and said ‘there aren’t that many, there are only about 400,000.’
Brian laughed and said ‘I have the figures right here.’
She refused to look at the figures and said, under her breath, ‘there aren’t that many here.’
And they went to a break.
All of which proves that her allegations are false, right?
Rabid political lynching going on here.
FOX knows who its audience is. To come out and start pimping gun control was not a very smart thing to do. Carlson may want to go over to MSN.
Not questioning the facts. Perhaps it's a typo?
I think a typo. Another article:

“The next winter was the snowiest Green Bay ever had,” she recalls. “I thought it might be time to leave.” Coincidentally, there was a job opening at what was then WXEX-TV, based in Petersburg. In the 22 years since, she’s hung on as WXEX turned into WRIC and moved its base of operations to Richmond. She emerged as the face of the operation in 1991, during a tumultuous time for the station. She succeeded former anchor Kevin McGraw, who was fired because of low ratings and the station’s perennial spot as the No. 3 station, behind WWBT-12 and WTVR-6.
At the time, McGraw was allegedly having an affair with reporter Gretchen Carlson, a former Miss America, who got her start in Richmond. Carlson moved on to become co-anchor of the Saturday Early Show on CBS, and now co-anchors the nationally televised morning show, Fox & Friends.Aÿ
Maybe Doocy just thought she was a dolt - nothing to do with being female, more to do with being a dolt.
She was bitching that Steve would put his hand on her shoulder to stop her from talking - smart man. She did not like this, and claimed that this was his “sexist” way to shut her up. And she sounded and looked so ridiculous trying to show her vast intellect, again Steve was doing her a favor. And the low level beauty pageant women. So boring! Right up there with all the kiddie stuff we had to endure with Hasselbeck. Aaaggghhh!!
Wish they could find a smarter female hostess, along the lines of Laura Ingraham. Or maybe see if Tucker or Stuart Varney would wear kilts and join the weekday crew and get us back some smart chatter. As a female, I could care less if they have no legs in the morning. Sorry, Laz!
Gretchen Carlson claimed sexual harassment at her previous jobs. Maybe those earlier charges were true, but with the plethora of charges Gretchen makes, she is reminiscent of Anita Hill.
I NEVER cared for Gretchen either!!! When she came on in afternoon changed channel!!! I just personally did not care for her show I guess others felt the same way!!!
I worked in the office of a manufacturing company for many years. I was the only women among 18 men. I would walk thru the shop and see their girly calendars. Sit in the break room and hear their jokes. Sometimes I would join them at the local watering hole on paycheck Friday. Occasionally I would help pack parts.....Usually some smart ass would come up and ask me if I could “make em a sammich when I am done”. If women want to play with the big boys, they need to get thicker skin.
All due respect Monk I don’t believe her I hear Roger Alies is more women friendly employer in US news business CNN forgetaboutit MSNBC Oh pleazeeee
