New York magazine's Gabriel Sherman reported Tuesday that Fox News star Megyn Kelly has accused the network's chairman of sexual harassment. The blockbuster report comes on the heels of Sherman's Monday story, citing sources at Fox News's parent company, indicating Roger Ailes was soon to be fired.
The decision to remove Ailes in the coming weeks was the result of misconduct discovered after a legal review of his actions in the wake of claims made by former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson. Carlson has filed suit in New Jersey Superior Court claiming the Fox News chairman requested they sleep together for favorable treatment. But it was unclear as to the immediate cause motivating Ailes pending dismissal, New York said, "until now." New York reported the bombshell revelation: "According to two sources briefed on parent company 21st Century Fox's outside probe of the Fox News executive, led by New York–based law firm Paul, Weiss, Kelly has told investigators that Ailes made unwanted sexual advances toward her about ten years ago when she was a young correspondent at Fox.
Kelly, according to the sources, has described her harassment by Ailes in detail." 21st Century Fox executives have told Ailes to quit by Aug. 1 or be fired, according to the report. Ailes has hired lawyer Susan Estrich, Michael Dukakis' former presidential campaign manager, to head up his defense strategy. New York also claims Ailes has turned to Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani for advice on the widening scandal. New York said Fox and its parent company, as well as Kelly, declined to comment for the story. Since the Carlson suit filed in June, nine women have accused Ailes of sexual harassment during his five decades as a media and entertainment executive.

It’s not harassment if you are lying on his couch naked with your legs spread, and your modeling pictures all over his desk.
To be fair, Megyn Kelly hasn’t said a word publicly. The liberal mainstream media is reporting from unnamed sources that because she is saying nothing, she must be siding with Gretchen Carlson.
No one should forget that the parent company of Fox News Channel, Rupert Murdock’s 21st Century Fox, makes money from offering liberal, middle of the road and conservative media, world wide.
Yeah, but I went with the esteemed medical journal TMZ.
:D
It’s just her black soul seeping through.
Probably not the first lady to charm the pants off her boss.
I was wondering the same thing!
Good one. Men objectify women. Women objectify themselves.
This explains why she gets to do what she wants and doesn’t get fired.
There is no going back to normal after this, sadly. I thought Megyn must have known something, she was too quiet about this. To be honest, I could see it happening. She is very pretty and very flirtatious. Megyn is a lawyer,a and knows how to pitch power struggles or play mind games.
I guess this is The Day The Music Died at Fox, unless I’m wrong. I hope to be wrong.

“Hostile takeover of Fox News, IMO. They will veer to the left now.”
I don’t know about that. FNC has already veered to the left so far as to be unwatchable.
No, not old and worn. She’s an attractive woman.
At least they’re not fake. Yet.
In an interview she referred to them as her killer ‘B’s.
There is nothing sexy about that pose on the right, looks like she’s trying to pull a ‘one cheek sneak’.
I’m curios as to who they want to replace him with. Since Saudi Princes own most of FOX now, I’m pretty sure it won’t be a Conservative.
If you're 25 she's old. If you're 70 she's young and hot.
Is her dress sort of falling off? Or I just don’t know anything about fashion?
Megyn is choosing a strange way to get her credibility back.
It is getting more and more dangerous for a male CEO to have female underlings or for a man to work in an office that has female employees also in that office.
Here’s the OEEC definition:
