“Why hasn’t Shepard Smith come out yet?” asks the left-leaning website Gawker.
Gawker claims the popular Fox News anchor was “silenced and punished” after approaching CEO Roger Ailes last summer about going public about his homosexuality.
But now Ailes and Smith are firing back, calling the story “100 percent false and a complete fabrication.”
“As colleagues and close friends at Fox News for 18 years, our relationship has always been rooted in a mutual respect, deep admiration, loyalty, trust, and full support both professionally and personally,” they wrote in a joint statement.
The Gawker story claims Smith approached Ailes and his Fox News colleagues about coming out of the closet after bringing his boyfriend, a 26-year-old Fox producer named Gio Graziano, to a small company picnic at Ailes’ home in 2013.

I choose not to watch Shep, mainly because I don’t like his style and arrogance.
He has. Just not on tv.
Even Captain Obvious is shaking his head over this.
That kind of information should perhaps be dispensed on a “need to know” basis. I have known a number of men who weren’t perverts. They were what might be termed “precious”. Part of the perfidy of the homosexual activism has to do with getting everyone to suggest that any male who has artistic sensibilities or certain types of interests (show tunes, ballet, design, etc.) must consider that he is in reality homosexual and is obliged to behave likewise. It is not always the case.
Bfl
Ditto.
He is also liberal.
What he does sexually is best kept to himself.
Same with anyone...honestly, I don’t want to hear about how many women Geraldo allegedly bedded...or how often Greta van Sustern and her husband engage.
Not needed to deliver the day’s news.
Why is it the left is always the ones “outing” somebody? Are they a bunch of closet homophobes?
Me too. He’s clearly the dumbest person on Fox, but he thinks he’s the smartest. He’s supposed to be a news anchor, not a commentary person. but he insists on injecting his moronic personal opinions into stories. A month after the Trayvon Martin shooting he was still calling Martin “a kid with Skittles in his pocket”. I’d rather watch local news or CNN.
BECAUSE IT DOESN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HOW HE DOES HIS JOB, NOW DOES IT.
You are correct.
I was appalled not to long ago to hear an elementary school teacher say that she thought two boys in her class were “born gay and just don’t know it yet” because they liked to do art projects.
Shep likes 'em young!
But 26 years old and a producer on a major network already?! Seriously? Does Shepard have a casting couch in his office?
why does Gawker care so much?
Methinks he doth protest too much.
Oh, something else for Fox to focus on for a week.
Gawker claims the popular Fox News anchor was “silenced and punished” after approaching CEO Roger Ailes last summer about going public about his homosexuality …Something freaky about that wording. Gawker seems to be all about the dirty mind factor.
Poor little butterfly.
Shep was the first news jock. Kudos for that. His style isn’t to my liking.
He’s decent because he doesn’t always read. What he does in private is of little if any interest to me as long as he keeps it to himself.
