According to a document filed today in the United States District Court District of New Jersey, Gretchen Carlson voluntarily dismissed her case against Roger Ailes with prejudice on Tuesday.

Her 2/3 is about 13 million. I wonder how long it would have taken her to earn that on FOX if she hadn't been fired?

Roger is evidently an idiot.

And there were too many skeptics here about whether this was all made up. Ailes had a reputation for this before Fox News was ever started.

Cha Chingage! So, does that mean Andrea Tantaros may also win some sort of settlement? Has Greta filed? :-)

Many would love to get that kind of money for a little proposition here and there, ya think?

Gretchen never has to work again in her life nor her family as well. Look at all our vets who are begging for health care and benefits. $20 million, really?

Maybe Andrea was one of the other two who got a settlement?

Some of the specifics were pretty disgusting. I’d say $20m is cheap and Ailes was a horn dog.

When the little head between someone's legs does the thinking instead of the one atop their shoulders...

Many here were defending Ailes.

The question is will Carson help others who have lawsuits against Alies?

Did Ailes receive a golden parachute/buyout resignation?

Well, we had seen cases of this type before that wound up being made up. Anita Hill, for instance.

Gretchen also had a reputation for being thin-skinned.

That said, she evidently had the goods on Ailes. I heard she had clandestinely recorded some of his inappropriate behavior.

That’s the thing to do whenever you need the job but the boss is an a$$hole. Document, document, document. Because when the s41t hits the fan, it’ll be your word against his, and documentation is the only thing that stands up in court against armies of your boss’s lawyers.

Ailes should be in jail. He is a sexual predator.
