Another Man Who Worked At NPR Had Been Accused of Serial Sexual Harassment (Juan Williams)

(snip)-- The same radio network that suspended its news director this week for sexual harassment allegations once hired a controversial Washington Post writer whose history of sexual harassment allegations was well known.

Juan Williams, 63, joined National Public Radio in 2000 despite being at the center of a widely reported sexual harassment scandal at The Washington Post a decade earlier.

Williams now works for Fox News as an analyst.

Post newsroom employees said that Williams had, for years, commented on their bodies, asked them about their sex lives, and said things that were "lewd" and "shocking." Nancy McKeon, then the features editor of the Post Magazine, told Newsweek she remembers Williams asking women, “Did your heels hit the ceiling last night?” and saying, “Now there’s a chair I’d like to sniff” when one employee stood up from her seat.

The comments were known and were even covered by the Washington Post at the time. But NPR hired Williams anyway.

“This is ancient,” Williams said when Newsweek reached out to him. When asked if the allegations were true, he declined to answer.

(snip) --- Williams was not fired by The Post when the allegations were revealed in 1991. Fifty female employees met with then-Executive Editor Leonard Downie Jr. to object to the newspaper’s lack of transparency surrounding what disciplinary measures it had taken. Yet Williams was eventually hired by NPR.

*** 'He was like a serial shocker' ***

McKeon, who worked with Williams in the late 1980s, warned him several times during her tenure to “stop talking to these young girls like that" and that he'd "have a problem" if he continued. After one art director stood up from her chair, McKeon said she remembers Williams saying, “Now there’s a chair I’d like to sniff.”

Right on...... and it IS TRUE.

He should be dismissed from FoxNews very soon! Maybe he can get a spot over at MSNBC or CNN.

____________

Yes. And if you read the article and the first post, you will see that he has a NOSE too to sniff some things. (“Now there’s a chair I’d like to sniff” when one employee stood up from her seat.)

What a weirdo!

Juan was famously fired by NPR and there was a cry outcry over the racism of firing an opinionated African-American. Fox News swooped in and hired Juan to much virtue signaling. Back then, it was all about skin color and not about being a lech.

He was a married man during that time. Still has the one wife from 1978, so good for him on that point. Disgusting behavior. Glass houses, Juan.

Well, Juan, I guess the rule applies. Believe Women. And if you deny, you don’t have the temperament to be a journalist.

Fine with me. Let them hit away..... no bunts.

My wife and I can't stand the guy.

Every time we see him on Fox(always making those ridiculous faces as the others are speaking), on comes our default show here at our house .... 'The Andy Griffith Show' reruns.

lol

NPR has a serious problem. They all talk the same way.
