New Sexual Harassment Allegations Leveled Against Fox News' Eric Bolling

Three hours after Fox News announced it had suspended host Eric Bolling following allegations that he had sexually harassed female colleagues, a former Fox News guest leveled new accusations against him. Caroline Heldman, who appeared on the network frequently between 2008 and 2011, said Saturday that Bolling was one of three Fox News/Fox Business employees to subject her to sexual harassment.

Fox News announced Bolling’s suspension less than 24 hours after an exclusive HuffPost report revealed that the host had sent lewd text messages to female colleagues.

Heldman referred to Bolling’s suspension in a post on her Facebook page, which HuffPost has confirmed belongs to her. ”My only surprise is that it took this long for people to come forward about Bolling’s behavior, which has been wildly inappropriate for years,” she said.

Heldman said she had also been subjected to sexual harassment by former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly and former Fox News consultant Woody Fraser. Mother Jones was first to report this week that Heldman, under the penalty of perjury, signed a declaration stating that Fraser offered her a paid Fox News contributor gig in exchange for sex.

1. Pretty soon the women will be the only employees left at Fox.

A fair and balanced den of iniquity.

2. Roger Ailes dies

And the floodgates open. I'm kind of surprised that the old boy network at FOX is collapsing so quickly.

9. Ailes was the quintessential Fox News executive scumbag

Disgusting, out of shape pervs lusting after and sexually harassing women half their age.

I mean, I have no problem with older men dating young women (and if the genders are reversed as well), but these types use their power to be unabashed sexual perverts that get a thrill out of what they do. They're nasty creeps with vile personalities, and they treat women like shit. They have the mental capacity of a little boy in High School, and an ego the size of the moon.

Ailes was a creepy asshole, and there are many more like him at that cesspool of a network.

3. Good start

4. His best defense...

"How can anyone be so stupid". Plead to the jury that it's unbelievable that he would conduct himself so after so many others were fired.

Him, O'Reilly, Ailes, and many others at Fox had enviable positions in network news, but couldn't keep their hands to themselves or their mouths shut. One has to wonder how the environment there cultivated such behavior, because these men couldn't possibly be this collectively stupid. Yet there it is.

5. More dick pics from his collection (n/t)

6. Wow - Fox is totally in the degenerate republican "family values" cesspool

and in dire need of American values like honesty, integrity, and respect.

Sad,

[SWBTATTReg]

7. scum, all of them

makes you wonder how so many of these guys ended up working at fox...maybe a RICO conspiracy investigation is needed, as to how so many sexual assaults are happening in one place...obviously the fox environment is facilitating this...

pathetic, sad, and disgusting...

8. And Fox calls CNN "fake news" while their idiots send dick pics and otherwise harass female

employees. It is a level of hypocrisy that is (I am being sarcastic) unbelievable -- Fox pays out millions and millions on the sexual harassment charges, including big payoffs to people like Gretchen Carlson who was endlessly harassed by Ailes (and also apparently Meghan Kelly got a payout too following harassment by Ailes) and all of the women the fucking slimey creep O'Reilly harassed -- and now we find that Bolling was harassing his colleagues -- yet CNN is fake news?! What assholes.

10. The comments on her Facebook post are hideous.

Alt-right/Fox trolls saying that she's too ugly to sexually harass.

It always gets down to that, doesn't it? The women are too ugly to harass.

e.g. Trump (about Natasha Stoynoff): "Look at that face! I don't think so."

[phleshdef]

11. Yea I saw a few of those and it was from other women.

And looking at the facebook profile pics of the women who said that, she looks way better than they do... just saying.
