The women — made up of his former and current network co-workers — were able to identify Bolling as the sender behind the lewd photos because they recognized his phone number, according to the news site.One of the recipients said she told Bolling to never send her such messages again, but didn’t receive a reply.
His lawyer's response is weirdly worded, at least it seems to me:
“Mr. Bolling recalls no such inappropriate communications, does not believe he sent any such communications and will vigorously pursue his legal remedies for any false and defamatory accusations that are made,” he told HuffPost.
Ya.... the “I don’t recall” line is lame. Find it hard to believe he would do this though. Without concrete proof.... I’m calling it BS leftist smear.
Ummm, for this type of behavior, you would know whether you did or did not. If you didn't do it, the lawyer would be saying "He DID NOT do it!". "See you in court!"
"and will vigorously pursue his legal remedies for any false and defamatory accusations that are made"
It will be somewhat telling if he doesn't pursue any legal remedies. Time will tell. I don't have a good feeling about this one, based on, as you said, the weirdly worded statement from the attorney.
Sounds like Bolling was using a “burner” phone for some action on the side. I seriously doubt he was sending those pics on his work number. The “ladies” most likely are lying here.
I agree with you about the odd wording. "Does not believe" makes it sound like he has sent pictures before but doesn't recall sending it to them.
I hope that this isn't true, though. I like Eric Bolling on Fox, so it would be a shame if he did this.
Sorry to break the news to you, but this is S.O.P. (Standard Operating Procedure) a.k.a. Boiler Plate response.
And now for the money quote:
"will vigorously pursue his legal remedies for any
false and defamatory accusations that are made,"
Very poorly worded response. I mean, it sounds like he may have done this, but can’t recall? When are we talking, like twenty five years ago?
