Just damn.[1] Gretchen Carlson will not be renewing her contract with Fox News and is instead suing Roer Ailes for sexual harassment. She alleges she was let go on June 23rd after 11 years there because she would not stand for demeaning and exploitative sexual comments by Ailes. I tend to believe her here and I am disgusted by this. He called her a ‘man hater’ and accused her of wanting to ‘show up the boys’. The whole thing came about when Gretchen complained about discriminatory practices at Fox News. Sounds like Donald Trump has rubbed off on the entire network. Of course Fox News is not responding to queries from the media, but dude…

From the Daily Mail:

Gretchen Carlson has filed a sexual harassment suit against her Fox News boss Roger Ailes.

The popular host of The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson alleges that she was let go on June 23 after 11 years with the network for refusing to sleep with Ailes.

Carlson writes in her court filing about a conversation she had with Ailes last September in which he allegedly said to her: ‘I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you’d be good and better and I’d be good and better.’

The conversation allegedly came when Carlson went to speak with Ailes about what she believed were discriminatory practices at the network.

Carlson posted on Facebook Wednesday morning: ‘As you may have heard, I am no longer with Fox News. I value your support and friendship, especially now, so please stay in touch with me.’

Carlson also accuses her former Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy of ‘pervasive sexual harassment’ in her complaint. She says she was fired from her own show in 2013 because of discrimination and her pay was reduced. ‘We believe that the evidence will confirm that Gretchen was fired from Fox & Friends for speaking up about demeaning and discriminatory behavior on and off the set,’ said Nancy Erika Smith of Smith Mullin PC, who is representing Carlson. Gretchen, who is married to sports agent Casey Close and has two children, also included a list of comments she claims Ailes made to her at the workplace in her complaint. Gee, misogyny is alive and well all over the place these days it would seem. Must be catching.
