Fox News Booker Sexually Harassed, ‘Psychologically Tortured’ by Roger Ailes for More Than 20 Years
New York Magazine ^

Posted on 07/29/2016 4:51:29 PM PDT by springwater13

Luhn put on the black garter and stockings she said Ailes had instructed her to buy; he called it her uniform. Ailes sat on a couch. “Go over there. Dance for me,” she recalled him saying. She hesitated. “Laurie, if you're gonna be my girl, my eyes and ears, if you are going to be someone I can depend on in Washington, my spy, come on, dance for me,” he said, according to her account. When she started dancing, Ailes got out a video camera. Luhn didn’t want to be filmed, she said, but Ailes was insistent: “I am gonna need you to do better than that.”

When she had finished dancing, Ailes told her to get down on her knees in front of him, she said, and put his hands on her temples. As she recalled, he began speaking to her slowly and authoritatively, as if he were some kind of Svengali: “Tell me you will do what I tell you to do, when I tell you to do it. At any time, at any place when I call. No matter where I call you, no matter where you are. Do you understand? You will follow orders. If I tell you to put on your uniform, what are you gonna do, Laurie? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, LAURIE?” Then, she recalled, his voice dropped to a whisper: “What are you, Laurie? Are you Roger's whore? Are you Roger's spy? Come over here.” Ailes asked her to perform oral sex, she said.

Later, Ailes showed her the footage of her dancing. She asked him what he intended to do with it and, she says, he replied, “I am going to put it in a safe-deposit box just so we understand each other.”

Same thing I was thinking. She must have been paid a fortune to do this

It’s an old story. (But I can’t think of any *specific* biblical references).

Before someone decides to sleep their way to success, they need to consider the costs.

I feel very sorry for her. She should have cut off all contact with Ailes from the beginning.

He already looks like Bill Clinton.

Many years ago, when I was a CPA for an international firm, women clients coming to town regularly tried to get me into bed. Strangest machinations imaginable. Champagne, expensive dinners.

When I said NO, they threatened me.

I told them to f*ck off.

I came to think that's why the partners sent me.

BTW, we never lost a client due to that.

And THIS is the guy Rush Limbaugh lost half his audience to try and please.

Just because they settled still doesn’t make it true.

I’m not defending the guy or accusing him. He should have his day in court.

My point is, we shouldn’t automatically believe it just because someone says it - ESPECIALLY in this day and age.

The woman was sick to agree to what she says happened.

Fair enough but just because you settle may simply be a desire not to have a very public trial with all the fallout that might entail. May indeed have been entirely consensual but let’s be frank, that’s some goofy stuff and embarrassing.

Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

That’s our way, isn’t it?

What kind of woman lets this stuff happen to themselves?

At this late date, shouldn’t she be too embarrassed to talk about it - ever?

Lots of adult women are just sick in the head. Predators look for them, feeling them out for their weaknesses. Victims of this abuse are not hard to find. We really are the weaker sex.

If she violated the non disclosure agreement, her $3 million award may be in jeopardy.

True ‘nuff, but on the other hand she might expect to make back more than that in books alone.

She may have gotten a notion that truth means more than her sense of past dignity.
