Fox News daytime anchor Shep Smith is facing intense backlash after Big League Politics published an audiotaped interview with John Doe #1, a 35-year old man who describes Smith sexually attacking him in New York City in 2004. Smith did not immediately stop his aggression as the alleged victim tried to fight Smith off, according to John Doe #1s account of the incident.
A petition at Ourstand.org states its mission: Demand Fox News Suspend Shep Smith to Investigate Sexual Assault Claim.
The petition reads: According to a new bombshell report from BigLeaguePolitics, Shep Smith has been accused of Sexual Assault by a man. Fox News has been fast to suspend allies of President Trump, such as Judge Jeanine for merely expressing her opinion on Ilhan Omar.In addition in July of 2017, Fox News suspended Charles Payne for having a sexual assault allegation against him. Payne was later found to be innocent and reinstated, but not before an investigation. In order for Fox News to not show hypocrisy and treat Anti-Trump Shep Smith like others, we believe Shep Smith should be immediately suspended to investigate the claim against him.
The petitions anti-Smith comments include, from Marilyn J: Charles Payne was suspended. Judge Jeanine is suspended and she didnt sexually assault anyone. Fair is fair. Smith should be gone for good. I always turn him off when I see his show come on. He is disgusting just to look at.
The petition has already racked up 849 signatures as of early morning Monday press time.
Big League Politics reported:
A man told his story to Big League Politics about an encounter with Fox News host Shep Smith in 2004 in New York City. The man describes how he woke up with Smith on top of him with his tongue down his throat, how he tried to push the Fox host off him, and how Smith lunged at him three or four more times while continuing to force the unwanted physical encounter.
In a revelatory interview with Neil McCabe for Big League Politics, John Doe #1, 35, says that Smith took advantage of him. Here is audio from the interview:
John Doe #1 says he met up with Smith at the now defunct Nation bar in Manhattan, a spot Smith used to frequent to play Golden Tee and hang out when he was not on the Fox airwaves.
I wake up, and Shepard is on top of me, like, in a towel or a bathrobe. And hes 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 wasnt I never invited myself to his bedroom, John Doe #1 said.
I pushed him off. I was like, Dude what are you doing? And hes like, what you dont 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.
He was just on top of me, John Doe #1 said, calling the experience definitely shocking. John Doe #1 noted that he finally stopped, but it took a lot of it wasnt just an immediate no, and then everything was like, so sorry.
John Doe #1 said that Shep Smith lunged at him three or four more times after the initial attack.
John Doe #1 noted another moment in the kitchen, while John Doe #1 was getting ready to leave, when Smith grabbed him and put his tongue down his throat after the initial incident.
Fox News has not responded to an inquiry for this report.
Why would there need to be a petition over alleged sexual assault.
Boot him.
Like you suspended Jeanine.
Fox will be full blown left in 2 to 4 years.
Donna Brazile? Really? Who’s next, Carville?
Judge Jeanine tells the truth about Islam and gets suspended immediately, but Shemp Smith gets a pass on butt rape.
Shep is disgusting on so many levels, and being gay isn’t one of them.
Unless the guy identifies himself, I don’t see this going anywhere.
Shep is their token........................
Bill O’Reilly would have liked the same treatment.
Except for primetime and early morning, Fox News has been full blown Ministry of Propaganda for years.
It’s the seriousness of the allegation.
Schlep ain’t going anywhere. He probably has pictures.......... Just sayin’.
fruit? :)
I used the other bad word the other day and it got deleted so I figured fruit is safe :)
Looking at that limp-wrist Shep Smith, I can’t imagine him abusing anyone, except possibly a 10 year old
How did they get to being in a room from being in a bar?
Petitions.. a way for those wanting them to get your name and email to continue harassment for money and everything else because of those not really wanting to do anything but this makes them feel good.
Petitions don’t work period and are in line the people changing their facebook page or some useless hashtag to show their support of whatever.
Anyone who wants to protest Fag Smith at Fox news protest at the headquarters.
Call Barbra Stresiand. She’ll defend him.
So far it’s only a she-said - she-said affair
Good... He is a brain dead puppet talking head anyways.
Typical Ole Miss Rebel.
Fox’s golden homo.
