Shepard Smith, Accused of Sexual Assault, Resigns From Fox
National File ^ | 10/11/19 | Tom Pappert

Shepard Smith, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump who was accused of sexual assault by a man who claims he awoke to find Smith in the same bed with him with his tongue down his throat, is resigning from Fox News amid a growing feud between him and Tucker Carlson.

This afternoon Smith released a statement explaining that he is resigning from Fox News effective immediately. Smith explains that he asked Fox News to be released from his contract so he can pursue other opportunities, and Fox News first asked him to stay before releasing him.

Smith’s departure comes months after Patrick Howley broke the accusations against Smith from a man who says he was molested by the former Fox News anchor.

Howley reported:

“I wake up, and Shepard is on top of me, like, in a towel or a bathrobe. And he’s got his tongue down my throat and his hands all over me. Completely uninvited. I mean, I gave him no signal. There was nothing,” John Doe #1 says in the interview — excerpts of which are presented in audio form above.

“I had also volunteered to sleep in the spare, so it wasn’t — I never invited myself to his bedroom,” John Doe #1 said.

“I pushed him off. I was like, ‘Dude what are you doing?’ And he’s like, ‘what you don’t like it?’ There was like this, kind of like No!, and he kept going, he kept pushing. Like, pushing his hands on all these spots,” John Doe #1 said.

The departure also comes after weeks of feuding with Carlson, who anchors Tucker Carlson Tonight, one of the network’s most highly viewed programs.

Sweet! Just when you thought the news about Shep Smith couldn't get any better, this turns up.

Karma, sweet, karma for the pontificating holier-than-thou fag.

I always pictured Shep Smith as the catcher and not the pitcher in situations described in the article...

Does Fox News have a lounge with a bed so employees can take power naps? If so, were there any witnesses?
Were the two out of town at a hotel? If so, why did the guy give Shep a key to his room?
I’m sure there are other scenarios.

And if we knew the name of this person it would be a bonus. But we really don’t. I mean, like with a Russian collusion as Shep applies to our President, can Shep prove he didn’t do it?

Jeez, applying the new standards of justice that guys like Shep have advocated being applied to others sure is fun.

Guilty Shep verdict first, trial later.

That’s what they get for hiring a pretty face. He was hired for his girl-like face and because he’s gay. He learned to read the prompter, and he had the job!

Being escorted out of the building when fired is most companies protocol. Has been for many years and doesn’t really mean much.

The atmosphere at Fox must get pretty testy. I suspect they need separate washrooms/staff rooms for the two camps - the We Hate Trump people vs. the Trump is Our President camp.

I suspect Shep is a whiny baby, and when the little dust up with Tucker happened, the executives looked at two numbers....Tucker’s ratings vs. Shep’s ratings. When they didn’t reprimand big bad Tucker the way Sheppy wanted, he quit.

I think the same thing. I will wait for more facts to come out unlike Shepard Smith. Shepard will run with stories without waiting for facts.

Well, OK, so there was a spare bedroom. In a hotel suite? In Shep’s house?
