When Gretchen Carlson heard that NBC News was considering letting people out of their non-disclosure agreements involving alleged sexual misconduct at the network, she couldn’t help but think of the NDA she signed with Fox News before her departure three years ago.

“It would be nice to be able to be able to tell my full story,” Carlson said.

She’s hoping one day she can. The newswoman says she’s asked to be let out of her NDA and talked to other Fox News employees who left with similar settlements about pressing the network to be let out of the agreements.

“Companies are saying that they want to be open and transparent and that they have worked tirelessly to make their work environments safer,” she told The Associated Press. “And if that’s the truth, then they should let us out.”

Carlson got a reported $20 million settlement in 2016 after she sued the network, claiming late Fox News chief Roger Ailes demoted then fired her when she rejected his sexual advances. …

The Uber Prude who took over Miss America, and promptly banned the swimsuits.

In her world, “I’m sure he leered at me!” would be a capital offense.

It would be a story with more than one side to it, one would daresay...

I still don’t believe it.
Roger Ailes couldn’t find anyone better looking than Gretchen?
Highly unlikely.

She wants to tell her story... in a forum where she can’t be cross-examined.

She can tell her story any time she likes. Money is more important to her than telling her story .

Especially among the bevy of Fox babes, to use highly-clichéd alliterative language.

My opinion probably should be discounted because I didn’t care for her at all on Fox and Friends.

Something off putting about her. Now we all know what a prude she is and how she ruined everything she’s involved with.

So talk. Nobody will be listening.

Give back the $20,000,000 settlement money, and FOX might consider it. (As though any news reader on TV is worth even a million dollars a year.)

Carlson got a reported $20 million settlement in 2016

Give back the money and then speak freely.

I know what you mean. I didn’t like her either but can’t put a pin on why. Just one thing I noticed is how she took herself so serious and never laughed or joked.
