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.

I told y’all she was more trouble than she was worth...;’}
In the middle of the RNC convention, no less....
Now, why would Me aGyn tell this story NOW?
Again, she was 81 and it was a throat and reflux procedure, not a facelift.

Post the link where her daughter said it was a facelift procedure, that caused her mom’s death.
Sorry, never thought for a second she was pretty.
I get that she’s SUPPOSED to be pretty, but her face is harsh.
he’s Fox news’ Hitchcock!
My old girlfriend summed it up well: “It’s ‘harassment’ if the girl DOESN’T like you.”

That’s the problem. There are real sexual predators in the workplace, e.g. BillyJeff, but so much is now dependent on how the “harassed” feels about something.
A gentlemen wouldn’t intentionally say or do anything that would make a woman feel uncomfortable, but just saying “that’s a lovely dress” could be “triggering”.
Heh heh heh 8’)

I don’t know that there’s been indepth specific news as to the exact nature or purpose of the throat surgery performed on Rivers, but I believe the anesthetic used caused her death.
Yes, the anesthesia drug for an endoscopy procedure.
It’s in the article I linked.

My Aunt working for HP did same, objected when one executive said about her dress. This is her habit. I never give her any compliment.
“Beauty is only skin deep, ugly goes clear to the bone.”
MK reminds me of this old saying
Ah - per TMZ re:Joan Rivers -
“according to the report, Joan only consented to an upper endoscopy procedure, but Dr. Korovin did more ... a laryngoscopy.”

Maybe 10 years ago Kelly was worth sex advances.
Now she looks old and worn.
the whole thread disgusts me - shame on me for reading this far.
