Shepard Smith, Accused of Sexual Assault, Resigns From Fox
National File ^ | 10/11/19 | Tom Pappert

Shepard Smith, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump who was accused of sexual assault by a man who claims he awoke to find Smith in the same bed with him with his tongue down his throat, is resigning from Fox News amid a growing feud between him and Tucker Carlson.

This afternoon Smith released a statement explaining that he is resigning from Fox News effective immediately. Smith explains that he asked Fox News to be released from his contract so he can pursue other opportunities, and Fox News first asked him to stay before releasing him.

Smith’s departure comes months after Patrick Howley broke the accusations against Smith from a man who says he was molested by the former Fox News anchor.

Howley reported:

“I wake up, and Shepard is on top of me, like, in a towel or a bathrobe. And he’s got his tongue down my throat and his hands all over me. Completely uninvited. I mean, I gave him no signal. There was nothing,” John Doe #1 says in the interview — excerpts of which are presented in audio form above.

“I had also volunteered to sleep in the spare, so it wasn’t — I never invited myself to his bedroom,” John Doe #1 said.

“I pushed him off. I was like, ‘Dude what are you doing?’ And he’s like, ‘what you don’t like it?’ There was like this, kind of like No!, and he kept going, he kept pushing. Like, pushing his hands on all these spots,” John Doe #1 said.

The departure also comes after weeks of feuding with Carlson, who anchors Tucker Carlson Tonight, one of the network’s most highly viewed programs.

Interesting: Shemp is accused of assaulting a man and got to keep his job. If he was normal and assaulted a woman then he would have been forced to resign immediately, right?

IF you resign you're not "escorted" out of the building.

But this doesn't come as a big surprise though.

He’ll be fine. If there are any criminal charges, Judge Napolitano will get him off.

I believe it. Shep is a liberal and this what liberals do. Matt Lauer being another latest example.

I have escorted EVERY person that resigned from my companies, within an hour of notice, for 30 years. Paid them off for two weeks. If you quit me you don’t get to stay.

I can’t read the article. details?

Strange, it won't open now for me now(without subsribing)?

Just an article about Shep being in Ukraine in 2014.

Here's another:

I think that the Biden problem in Ukraine is just the tip of iceberg, more corruption coming. Ukraine is starting to look like a funny money hub!

That’s a wise policy. Get’em out before they can cause any damage.

Good policy—for a whole bunch of reasons—and actually better for the person involved (even though they may not understand it at the time).

Daytime on Fox should be news, not opinion/entertainment. Filling up the slot with opinion shows would be a stupid move. But then again, no one watches the slot now...what difference would it make?
