This afternoon Smith released a statement explaining that he is resigning from Fox News effective immediately. Smith explains that he asked Fox News to be released from his contract so he can pursue other opportunities, and Fox News first asked him to stay before releasing him.
Smith’s departure comes months after Patrick Howley broke the accusations against Smith from a man who says he was molested by the former Fox News anchor.
“I wake up, and Shepard is on top of me, like, in a towel or a bathrobe. And he’s 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 wasn’t — I never invited myself to his bedroom,” John Doe #1 said.
“I pushed him off. I was like, ‘Dude what are you doing?’ And he’s like, ‘what you don’t 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.
The departure also comes after weeks of feuding with Carlson, who anchors Tucker Carlson Tonight, one of the network’s most highly viewed programs.
I mean, he literally has friends up the @ss...

You’re killing me!!
I felt that was probably a pretty good representation of how they are, if not in fact, then in principle.
This could improve the Fox News anchor line up, depending on who is chosen to replace him in his televised time slot.
I have personally refused to watch or listen to him for the past several years.
+++++
I’m a big Fox News Fan. I never voluntarily watched his show. A glimpse here and there taught me enough to know that he was just another token liberal on Fox and not worth my time.
So I did what you did. I just didn’t watch him. That seems like a better solution than the one apparently popular here at FR: Quit Fox News, the new CNN.
And the replacement will be important. Shepard Smith’s show was supposed to be straight news. Most Fox News shows aren’t - they are either opinion or round table discussions.
So the replacement choice will be looked at closely. You need a straight news anchor. Will that anchor look like a CNN escapee or someone more like Martha MacCallum? In any case the choice will tell us a lot about where Fox News is heading.
Shep thought “who he was” is now a constitutional right.
Since Katrina for me.
Yeah my post was a little overboard. Probably ruined a few people’s breakfast.
Good discipline on your part.
Tom Cruise must be laughing his @ss off....
that the smug, sanctimonious Matt Lauer used his NBC power to sexually abuse women and to harm the careers of women who wouldn’t give in.
Its JOHN DOE!
Except it's the "somewhere else" it's been that causes the victim even more nightmares....
Typical mentally ill homosexual.
Smart move, I did it too. Give someone who decides they no longer want to be on your team two weeks and half the critical files are copied and or missing.
Ok but news is reading from a teleprompter. Judge Jeanine can read.
Misleading headline.
How about a show with Juan Williams, Marie BArf, Donna Brazil, JUDGE NAPPY, Jessica tarloff, whorealdo, Chris Hahn, Chris hayes, jonah goldberg, JEMU, the 2 weekend anchors??
CORRAL them all on one show so we can watch the other 23 hours!
I think they should move Dana Pe Rino to 1PM, then have Harris Faulkner from 2PM - 4PM.
Yeah at 2AM.
He has a cat from what he has said previously. No dogs. Maybe that has changed.
Wonder if he advertised in Ukrainian magazines.....
