Fox News Booker Sexually Harassed, ‘Psychologically Tortured’ by Roger Ailes for More Than 20 Years
New York Magazine ^

Posted on 07/29/2016 4:51:29 PM PDT by springwater13

Luhn put on the black garter and stockings she said Ailes had instructed her to buy; he called it her uniform. Ailes sat on a couch. “Go over there. Dance for me,” she recalled him saying. She hesitated. “Laurie, if you're gonna be my girl, my eyes and ears, if you are going to be someone I can depend on in Washington, my spy, come on, dance for me,” he said, according to her account. When she started dancing, Ailes got out a video camera. Luhn didn’t want to be filmed, she said, but Ailes was insistent: “I am gonna need you to do better than that.”

When she had finished dancing, Ailes told her to get down on her knees in front of him, she said, and put his hands on her temples. As she recalled, he began speaking to her slowly and authoritatively, as if he were some kind of Svengali: “Tell me you will do what I tell you to do, when I tell you to do it. At any time, at any place when I call. No matter where I call you, no matter where you are. Do you understand? You will follow orders. If I tell you to put on your uniform, what are you gonna do, Laurie? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, LAURIE?” Then, she recalled, his voice dropped to a whisper: “What are you, Laurie? Are you Roger's whore? Are you Roger's spy? Come over here.” Ailes asked her to perform oral sex, she said.

Later, Ailes showed her the footage of her dancing. She asked him what he intended to do with it and, she says, he replied, “I am going to put it in a safe-deposit box just so we understand each other.”

And yet......if the story/title is stated clearly....she put up with this for 20 years????????? She was either paid VERY well, or was not the least bit troubled by being a paid whore!

I’d say it’s just about sex, but actually it isn’t.

She must not have feet, because it clearly states she was “on her knees” ;-)

Details, details.
Reads like a Democrat smear tactic, but who knows.

Why would we automatically believe it?

Especially at election time, when Fox is the only news outlet covering our side?

Sounds like smear tactic bullsh*t to me.

Follow the money trail on this ... woman...

Read the article. This is no smear. FOX settled with her for $3 Million when she filed suit. It was under a non-disclosure agreement which she just broke by speaking with the media.

20 years? Sounds like a consensual BDSM relationship to me....

Well, I tended to believe the Cosby stories after a few of them started coming out, so I’ve got to apply the same thinking to Ailes. Could be wrong....hopefully. He has, however, left the scene. One thing that causes me to think it could be true is that a whole slough of his prime time people were going to walk if Ailes left and I haven’t heard another whimper about that. They all seem to have stayed put with nary a comment.
