Megyn Kelly has detailed the sexual harassment she received from Roger Ailes in her new book, Settle For More, and it will totally gross you out and disturb you.
Via Radar Online:
“Roger began pushing the limits,” she alleges. “There was a pattern to his behavior. I would be called into Roger’s office, he would shut the door, and over the next hour or two, he would engage in a kind of cat-and-mouse game with me — veering between obviously inappropriate sexually charged comments (e.g. about the ‘very sexy bras’ I must have and how he’d like to see me in them) and legitimate professional advice.”
He offered to advance her career “in exchange for sexual favors,” she writes, and even though she says she rejected “every single one,” she claims he tried “physical advances.”
But in January 2006, she claims, he “crossed a new line — trying to grab me repeatedly and kiss me on the lips.” When she shoved him away, she alleges, “he asked me an ominous question: ‘When is your contract up?’ And then, for the third time, he tried to kiss me.”
The harassment ended after six months, possibly because she reported him to a supervisor, Kelly writes. But when Carlson and the other women began to come forward this year, Kelly said she decided the time had come to speak up.
Dude how gross! A creepy old fat guy trying to force his hot news hosts to kiss him on the lips in exchange for career advancement??!?!?!
If it weren’t for Gretchen Carlson getting fired by Ailes and thus suing him for sexual harassment, all of this would still be going on and we’d be none the wiser!
