He should have asked a guy, and he’d still be okay............

So he asked a woman out for coffee later. She reports him to security? Why in gods name does Fox stay in New York. This is the kind of crap you get.

I figured there was more to this story than what the guy posted on X.

Per comments at the video, then many women wonder why nobody will ask them out and why they are alone.

Lower in the article it describes what would be an actual annoyance that would require a warning to not get physical with people in the building.

“the incident played out differently, claiming Fischer grabbed the woman’s phone and put his number in it forcibly, before returning it and ‘demand[ing] to know she had the number now.’
(snip)
‘And it wasn’t friendly’, the source said.

She was sitting at her desk and had not been interacting with Fischer when he approached her, he said.

The interaction was overheard by other network employees.”

Looked up a photo to ID which guest he was on Gutfeld. Very funny guy who does an excellent impression of Trump. One of the better comedians he's had on.

His appearance does give off a short, wiry, hillbilly (think Gallagher in a ball cap) vibe, clearly beneath this young lady's standards for sharing a coffee and conversation. But calling security?

TBH, I didn’t appreciate older men asking me out when I was in my 20’s. Only I didn’t call security, back then, you just handled it.

In the workplace, we're supposed to accept men dressed like girls and at schools, transvestites are allowed to interact with minor children... but no adults can behave like adults ??

When I was still working, my boss would say things like, “I like your necklace”... or “...That's a great color for you”. Was I supposed to run sniveling to HR?

Thirty years ago when I started at Microsoft, HR told us that even asking a woman out could be considered harassment if she complained.

I brought up that surely that meant that if she asked you to not ask her again and you did that was harassment.

Nope. Once was enough.

Why is overtly sexual speech and even haranguing ("Hey, your boobies look so nice! I'd love to get to know you a little better! Hey, come on, Honey! I really want to see them up close!" or comparable) considered "sexual harassment deserving of professional blacklisting," while other forms of verbal harassment ("Hey, your breath stinks! What were you eating? Garlic? Man, that odor would knock a buzzard off a shit-wagon!") are considered merely tactless, insulting, but not worthy of professional banishment?

Regards,

If what he described is accurate, she grossly overrrected.

Many women do overreact today at a guy asking them out, or even talking to them. Same crap as women using the gym as their personal recording studio, wearing explicit workout “gear” and then if any guy looks at them 9r glajces their way, posting an instagram about being looked at at the gym by guys.

One Monday morning, when I came into work, I stopped to say good morning to our receptionist.

She proceeded to tell me about how she had a busy weekend and how her neck was very sore.

I asked, “What were you doing?”

She got a shocked look on her face and spun in her chair to face her computer. Puzzled, I just went to my office.

Later that day I am called into the owner’s office to be told that I was having a sexual harassment complaint filed against me. I was clueless.

“It is about your conversation this morning with Becky.”

Still clueless.

“You accused her of...excessive sexual activity.”

It literally never occurred to me that “What were you doing?” was anything other than a legitimate curiosity into what had she done that weekend to cause her to injure her neck.

There was no way, officially, to fight the complaint. I was assumed guilty. I had to write a formal apology, which kept getting bounced back - HR had to approve it before it was sent - because I would not admit to harassing in writing.

They finally accepted an apology in which I, verbatim, related the exchange and apologized to her for making her feel uncomfortable.

This was 18 years ago. Total BS

Any video of the footage? The article says other employees overheard the conversation.

Dude sounds like a predator, forcing himself on this woman he doesn’t know. now he’s squealing , typical entertainment industry vampire.

Sounds like some woke Karen who has not had a date in a year. When I was young and single, I always enjoyed it when a nice guy asked me out (I still do for that matter). This is called the “Dating Ritual.” The Karen is an idiot.

Folks, please read the whole article. He didn’t just ask her out for coffee, he grabbed her phone. I think most *people*, male or female, would view that as aggressive behavior and possibly attempted theft. If she didn’t feel confident she could overpower him to regain possession of her phone, she was perfectly justified in calling security to do it for her.
