Just hours after it was announced that Fox News would be paying $20million to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit with Gretchen Carlson, the former network anchor hired a major celebrity publicist to craft her second career. Carlson has hired Cindi Berger of PMK*BNC to handle all aspects of her personal public relations, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The company told HR that the next phase in Carlson's career will 'include a television presence, penning a book, speaking engagements and philanthropy'. Berger has previously represented Lena Dunham, Barbara Walters, Robert Redford and Rosie O'Donnell.

Carlson played her hand brilliantly. She knew her days as a tv presenter were numbered. She played her trump card of sexual harassment only at the end after she milked Fox for every dime she could get. Now she gets a $20 MM golden parachute, and becomes a feminist martyr who took down the boogeyman Ailes. Of course it was Ailes's hubris that set him up for for epic fall. Some clever Greek playwright could make a play about this true story.

If I had $20 million, or even the take after the lawyers get theirs, I would be most happily retired. Just sayin’

Gretchen found Roger Ailes' sexual harassment so unbearable that she stayed at Fox News FOR OVER 10 YEARS. You would think any mediator in any type of settlement discussion would raise this fact as a NON-STARTER.

Are females powerless victims, or liberated and independent feminists? YOU DECIDE.

Gretchen may discover that after the novelty wears off, she may be ‘admired’ by other women and those who hate Fox News, but she is not very well liked. Something similar to what happened with Caitlyn Jenner, but for different reasons. Neither person ever had a great amount of personal appeal from the beginning. Both function best in a symbolic or archetype fashion.

I’d be totally amazed if there was a $20 settlement (especially one that happened this fast) where there wasn’t also a gag order as part of the deal..... I highly doubt that her speaking engagements can address any subject matter that had to do with her sexual harassment suit and settlement.

The same gretchen that walked around in a see through dress showing off her boobs at a big awards night.

And I mean nothing left to the imagination.

Look it up.

Yep. Carlson's ratings tanked because she went on an anti-2nd Amendment rant, live on air. So she pulled her ace card and went for the big lottery payout. SHE PROBABLY PLANNED ON DOING THIS YEARS IN ADVANCE, tape recorder and all.

The best thing any man can do in the workplace is to totally ignore their female co-workers, except for work matters. Totally ignore them. Don't even look at them. Don't make small talk at the water cooler. Don't utter even a single word. THIS IS WHAT FEMINISTS WANT ANYWAY, RIGHT?

Totally ignoring females at work DRIVES THEM NUTS because it makes them feel unwanted and unattractive. MAKE THEM FEEL THAT WAY!

“The best thing any man can do in the workplace is to “

...not ask for sexual favors. DUH!

If you have to ignore women to stay out of trouble, you’re an idiot.

You’re a dude? Surprising comment from a male. I remember reading about a policy where if a man looks at a female FOR MORE THAN NINE SECONDS IT IS CONSIDERED SEXUAL HARASSMENT. Eff THAT. IGNORE THEM. TOTALLY. DON’T EVEN LOOK AT THEM unless a work-related matter is at hand.

You bet there’s a gag order on both sides!

Carlson has straightforward damning recordings of Ailes, and the almost unbelievable $20 million is to keep her quiet.

I’d bet the settlement also includes a ban, enforced by FNC management, on FNC personalities speaking negatively of her publicly.

It probably also precludes Carlson from testifying in the other harassment lawsuits.

This morning I watched Ainslee put her hand on Shaq’s knee after Shaq massaged Kilmeade’s shoulders. $40,000,000 payout right there.

She got 20 million just for lewd conversations with her boss.

Meanwhile Paula Jones had to endure Bill Clinton pulling out his bent penis and ordering her to kiss it. Bill Clinton also raped Juanita Broderic for free. Neither of these woman ever got millions for Clinton’s outrageous behavior.
