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.

The Trump curse continues to minimize/take out left wing officials and mediots.

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.

[Labyrinthos]

I say BS. The story has been out since March, 2019. Why terminate now.

"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!"

Shep, says, "Damn Trump Curse!"

Thanks to BookmanTheJanitor for this heart warming pic!

Maybe he blew the whole FBI leadership for a story.

He’s been making 10-15 million a year for the last 20....he doesn’t need to work.

I doubt that he’ll turn up anywhere unless his ego won;t let it go.

It’s all about ego. If he quit why would they pay him for remInder of contract?

Maybe Lucia the dog came with Gio.

I can’t remember the last time I saw her; don’t have cable. So I haven’t been contributing to her bilge. That makes me happy.

His debauchery is starting to show in his face. It may have been pretty once, but he’s got a Roy Cohn look to him now and that look doesn’t go away with cosmetic surgeries.

“...depending on who is chosen to replace him..”

Leland Vittert?

[Bob434]

[[Any indication of who will take his time slot?]]

Probably Anderson Cooper knowing fox news

[Vaduz]

Indeed they call each other normal because no one else will.

[DPMD]

MSDNC

Or maybe get off on him.

"...depending on who is chosen to replace him....Leland Vitter?"

Oh, brother....spare us from Leland Vitter. He's another anti-Trump snake-in-the-grass....and his very voice and humorless, nasty interviewing triggers my "mute" finger.
