An internal memo, obtained exclusively by LawNewz.com, could become a sticking point in a lawsuit filed by former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson against Fox Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes. In her lawsuit, Carlsons most damning claim is that during a September 2015 meeting in Ailes office, he stated to her: I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then youd be good and better and Id be good and better. She then claims that following the meeting, in retaliation for her opposition to his advances, he denied her opportunities including severely curtailing her appearances as a guest commentator on prime time shows and blocking her from appearing as a substitute host on prime time or daytime panel shows. However, a memo, provided to us by Fox News, paints a different picture. Just days after the September 16, 2015 meeting, Ailes apparently told Bill Shine, the head of programming, to give it another chance. Ailes even suggested that he would be open to putting Carlson back on her time slot with primetime host Bill OReilly.
In the memo, Ailes also pushes for Carlson to appear on Fox & Friends for a promo segment and to promote her on Fox radio. The memo seems to have been prompted by a Thank You letter that Carlson apparently wrote following the September 16, 2015 office meeting.
Thanks for meeting with me last week. Im happy my show continues to do well and that you are open to help me like a show like Outnumbered with promotion and media PR to really see what I can do, she wrote. Here is her full letter below:
Gretchen Carlson Note to Roger Ailes 9/21/2015
Ailes defense team will likely use this memo as evidence that he didnt try to sabotage her career following their September meeting. It is not clear what evidence that Carlson has or if she maintains a recording of what Ailes said to her. However, Carlsons lawyer told Politico that they are very confident in their evidence.
Following the lawsuit, Ailes has vigorously denied Carlsons claims that he sexually harassed her saying they are offensive, wholly without merit. Carlson has stuck by her allegations, and her attorneys claim more women have come forward with similar claims.
You are one NASTY piece of work.
Uh oh......you embarrassed yourself & you are furious that several people called you on it. No one humiliated you, you did it to yourself. And yeah.....when someone lets everyone know what a grand Christian they are and then proceeds to trash people based on NOTHING, well you got what was coming.
Ain’t life grand when a fool outs themself?!
Love me some Stifler ; )
A high 5 & a blue cheese stuffed Olive your way ; )
There are things that well raised people, regardless of their religious affiliation, don’t engage in, gossipy character assassination is a big one.
I agree with everything you said. As for Kelly, I stopped watching her after her attacks on Trump (her program is not allowed in our house), but I was at a friend’s house one night and Fox was on and there was Megyn. My question is, why does she feel the need to dress so trashy and unprofessionally in front of millions of people? In light of the allegations against Ailes, one has to wonder....
Yeah, I have to agree there.
Never heard of it but I’m willing to check it out. I’m always in the market for a better news source.
THANK YOU!
Love me some "blue cheese stuffed olives - and almond stuffed - hmmmm seems like they'd go great with checkers-cream cheese-cukes topped with smoked salmon.
Exactly, who talks like that?
Another boasting of being a “Christian.” When did gossip, lies , innuendo & smearing someone w/ NO proof become a Christian trait?????
My parents brought me up in a different kind of Christianity, thank goodness. I do find it interesting that two, “Shout it from the rooftops, I’m a Christian woman!!!!,” then proceed to make the most unchristian remarks of all. Nothing worse than bitter women. Now tell us one more time of your Christian credentials, please!
You’re a self-righteous hypocrite. As Christ said, get the log out of your own eye before you pick the speck out of your brother’s eye. Don’t you ever pass judgment on another of God’s children. Megyn Kelly wears inappropriate clothing to get ratings, halter type tops with a slit above her breasts. It’s a fact. The judgment’s already been made. Hypocrite.
Me-aGyn acts a lot like Sharon Stone in that movie that made her famous.
Good analogy. :D
Ha, ha, that would be good. I bet Shep spends a lot of time in that position.
