Fox News anchor Eric Bolling has been suspended pending an investigation into lewd messages he is accused of sending multiple female coworkers at Fox News and Fox Business Channel.
In a statement, Fox News confirmed Bolling's suspension Saturday afternoon.
"Eric Bolling has been suspended pending the results of an investigation, which is currently underway," a Fox spokesperson said.
Bolling, who previously co-hosted "The Five", now serves as a host of the new Fox News show "The Specialists."
A spokesperson for Fox tells The Hill that Bolling will be investigated by the Paul Weiss law firm. That's the same firm that investigated former chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, who was ousted from the network just two days after the firm began investigating.
A dozen sources told The Huffington Post, which originally reported the story, that at least two of Bolling's female colleagues at Fox Business and one at Fox News had received unsolicited photos of male genitalia from Bolling.
The messages were reportedly sent years ago, and on several different occasions. The Huffington Post called the images "deeply upsetting and offensive" to the women who spoke to the news outlet about the incidents.
An attorney for Bolling said he had no recollection of the messages and doesn't believe he sent them.
"Mr. Bolling recalls no such inappropriate communications, does not believe he sent any such communications, and will vigorously pursue his legal remedies for any false and defamatory accusations that are made," his attorney said.
The allegations against Bolling follow a tumultuous year for Fox News.
Top-rated host Bill O'Reilly was forced out of the network after The New York Times reported that he paid $13 million to five different women who accused him of sexual harassment.

Carlos Danger redux?
My thought.
“Accuse your opposition of the same things YOU are doing and make them defend themselves”, classic Alinsky tactic......works every time it is tried.
Oh please! Several years ago and they wait until he has a successful book to come after him?

If true it is a big disappointment.
He seems smarter than to do something like that.
You never know.....
But as I recall, the ‘foxes’ have had no problem using the women, dressed like hookers to capture the attention of many a man...
I have no clue IF Bolling did what he is accused of doing .. but if he did, he is not different or better than ‘Weiner’, regardless of how ‘pro-Trump’ he sounds.
The Murdoch boys found the formula to get rid of the conservatives.Wonder how much they paid the accusers. Hannity better have been as sinless as Jesus because he will be next.
I don’t believe it at all. The Soros slimeballs are trashing and smearing media Conservatives to get rid of them. O’Reilly, Hannity, Charles Payne just recently, and now Bolling? Cooking the books, making with the innuendo, making up scandalous allegations that allegedly occurred in the past. Even IF the allegations are true, which I doubt, these guys aren’t running for Sainthood. Don’t be tools and dupes and listen to such slander and malicious gossip!!!
Probably a David Brock production.
And a J.A.P. Never mess with a J.A.P.
“An attorney for Bolling said he had no recollection of the messages and doesn’t believe he sent them.”
I see a stint in alcohol rehab coming up. Only way to beat the rap...claim something protected by the ADA as the cause.
Yep. That statement by his attorney sounds a little weak.
So why is she supposedly “hot” — ‘cause she has blonde hair?
I just don’t see it and don’t believe her.
Bolling referred to me as 'Dr. McHottie' on air on four different occasions, and called me 'smart, beautiful, and wrong' on air twice,” Heldman wrote.
That Pig ! - He called her hot, smart and beautiful!
How dare he!
Call out the National Guard!
Call out the Hate Crime Gestapo!
Call Gloria Allred
Lock him up!
/s
That statement by his attorney sounds VERY weak. Almost like an admission of guilt.
Yeah. I don’t see that as sexual harassment either. These law suits are getting wayyy out of hand. SMH.
