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.

Ten years is a long time. What are the statutes of limitation in these cases?

Yes. You can always tell from the size of the nostrils.
And then....?
That's my fear as well. I know I'll get a thousand replies that FNC has already veered to the left. Get serious, FReepers... have you watched CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC lately?? FNC isn't 100% conservative by any means, but at least "our side" gets decent coverage and usually a fair shake.
Generally the problem with this stuff is that the woman reports it and nothing happens. When I was young it happened to me many times but in the 80s, there was nothing you could do. You just quit the job and moved on. Finally, I did get a job where it came down from the top that if you tried any hanky-panky you were going to have the roof crash down. That was a great place to work.
Has anyone else notice that necklines are not as low on the female Fox ladies lately?
So true. Megyn has resembled some of those power-mad women ever since her "Megyn Kelly Presents" special. I think she's trying to become the next Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer and/or Oprah.
Well, I watched her show and heard her daughter talk about it. But, what would her daughter know?
Yeah, that portion looks somewhat worked over.
Yeah, Megyn has Hillary Clinton eyes.
Cue the theme music to the movie “2001” for 20 seconds, pause, aaannddd -heeeere’s Michelle Fields with a sore wrist and suing Ailes for unwanted touching, which she got when she shoved his hand off of her shoulder! *gasp!*
(/sarc)
That’s because the skirts are going up into Sharon Stone territory.
“Replace Megyn Kelly with Harris Faulkner, FNC !!!”

Dumping both her and the fish-faced Shep would be fine by me.
Years ago, during the W Admin IIRC, the NY Post said Susan Estrich was at some event , and made a stink she was sitting next to some boring peon... Who was this man she was next to that was beneath her? A Secret Service agent (when that meant something in my book).
So he hires Susan Estrich??? Omg, is there a more grating, irritating voice than that?
Probably nothing can be done if it’s true. If you claim sex harassment, you’ve got to see it through to the bitter end. I suspect Megyn had bigger fish to fry.
If you want loyalty, get a dog.
You are so right. They all look so fake.
