It looks like the biggest shoe in the Roger Ailes sexual harassment scandal has just dropped.
According to New York Magazines Gabriel Sherman, Fox News star anchor Megyn Kelly has told investigators hired by the Murdoch family that she has been sexually harassed by Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.
Specifically, Sherman has two sources who claim that Kelly has told investigators that Ailes made unwanted sexual advances towards her about ten years ago when she was a young correspondent at Fox. The sources say that she described the alleged harassment by Ailes in great detail.
Another juicy tidbit in Shermans piece: His sources say Ailes has received advice on strategy from Donald Trump and Rudy Guiliani for beating the rap on sexual harassment, which adds a whole other layer of intrigue to this saga.

(14,072 posts)I would think people like Ailes, people who sexually harass the people that work for them, do it to almost everyone. In Ailes case, where he sexually harasses women, I would expect him to try it on just about every woman who works for him.

Which leads me to wonder...
