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.”

She put up with this for 20 years? I don’t believe it.

Still, it’s disgusting how some with use power for sex, and how others with use sex for power.

I couldn’t agree more. FNC is “The Lindsey Graham Channel.”

Exactly, follow the money. It sounds to me like the 3 million has run out, gotta replenish the stash.
Besides, she’s obviously nuts and has loose Orval’s to boot. No remorse for what she supposedly did to get ahead.

Loose morals. Don’t know how Apple came up with Orval’s.

You said it perfectly. If it’s true, they used each other, and are both ruined.

Her eyes are too far apart just like the other bimbo in the picture. Something not right about her eyes besides that though. Not right at all. I would not trust a word this person says. In fact that goes for both of ‘em.

Sick dude if true.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Big if. Huge if.

In my opinion it’s not true and at this point, my opinion is just as valid as anyone elses or just as invalid, for that matter.

Yeah sure. All of a sudden this week everyone is coming out of the woodwork with this stuff. Not buying.

Yeah but that’s four words.

(But who’s counting anyway?)

Roger could look like Bill Cosby before this over.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

I suppose but wouldn’t he have to paint his skin black and wear a sweater?

Plus there’s no indication that Roger drugged her into unconsciousness first.

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.

There’s still a war going on though, between Kelly and practically everybody else at Fox, including some of the biggest names there. It seems that most of the people there cannot stand her.

She may have found this verse in the Bible

Ecclesiastes chapter 10, Verse 19:

A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

If true is the operative word here and from what I’ve seen, all there has been so far are words from people like Megyn Kelly who I wouldn’t believe if she told me my house was on fire and I saw flames. From now on every executive is not going to be able to meet with an employee of the opposite sex without a male and female witness.

Which goes to show why Trump doesnt’ settle. It just encourages this kind of stuff. If you are wronged, you don’t put up with it for 20 years and then decide you are offended. Megyn Kelly waited 10 yrs to spill her beans, translate that to BS

That is assuming it is true and because she didn’t, don’t we have to question exactly how bad it was or it if even was a all?

I suspect they all have contracts...and a life to maintain.

What evidence is there on the Cosby stories? I haven’t followed that very closely.
