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.

actually Megan McCain said on her radio show she does not no what to think about the allegations. she has never been harassed herself when working at fox or has she seen it so other then asking some one else about it on her show once because it is news she is choosing to not cover it because Roger ails is a close friend and she is biased.
of course being the daughter of a senator is probably enough to put stop to most who would harass.
I thought Megyn was respectable and just helping her career by picking the fight with Trump. Looks like she’s just another feminist.
Ummm hasn’t the leftist justice system ever heard of due process and statute of limitations?
Kelly isn't suing.
When lawyers or your employers come to ask you for information about a case, what are you going to do?
Lie to them?
She’s a joke. Looks to me, that she coerced her job by giving a little attention to the old fart... now she’s got her job, and new contract or about to get one? She throws the guy under the bus.
True. Nothing but vanity, pride, and corruption.
Attempted fix. Didn't work out too well. Yikes.
A few months ago I heard that the amount he owed had increased. Can’t remember the Source, but if I’m wrong I apologize.
“Hands where they don’t belong or following a woman into the bathroom (happened to me) - that’s harassment!”
=
Wasn’t paying attention one time years back and went into the ladies room. Fortunately, there was nobody in it except for me and my embarrassment.
Nowadays I could say I’m somethin-or-other-gendered and I’d get a pass.
And then she continued her employment and benefited from each promotion that came her way.
Promotions that Gretchen Carlson believes were given to Megyn Kelly for remaining silent!
Gretchen has a bit of an ax to grind with Kelly. She all but names her in her recent lawsuit, and alleges that Ms.X was given plum assignments (like the debates) and was promoted to her own nightly show, which Gretchen Carlson apparently believes she was more entitled to than MK.
Etc etc.
Speaking of vanity, pride, and being gross, I know you won’t be surprised to hear that gross Glenn Beck is weighing in on Roger Ailes, Megyn Kelly, and Gretchen Carlson.
Beck has nothing good to say about Ailes (and it’s not because Ailes fired him, either!).
These ppl are just nauseating — do the Becks of the world ever go away?
