Ex-Fox News host sues O'Reilly, Ailes for harassment

Andrew Kirell

The latest sexual-harassment lawsuit against Fox News and deposed CEO Roger Ailes alleges that the network’s executives actively retaliated against on-air personality Andrea Tantaros after she repeatedly complained about inappropriate conduct in the workplace.

Tantaros’s lawsuit filed Monday in New York Supreme Court declares that “Fox News masquerades as a defender of traditional family values, but behind the scenes, it operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency, and misogyny.”

In particular, she names Roger Ailes, Bill O’Reilly, and several on-air contributors as having allegedly harassed her; and she accuses top executives including Ailes’s successor, Bill Shine, and chief flack Irena Briganti of trying to intimidate her from complaining further.........Read more

My Take - None of this surprises me.  I believed Gretchen Carlson when she came out with her suit, and in spite of all those who jumped up and down swearing Ailes was a great guy ..... I still believed her, and although there was a lot of posturing - Alies eventually had to slime off into the sunset without a wimper.  It appears all that was said against him was correct.   I used to watch when O'Reilly had his "blonds" on and talked down to them....Carlson was one of them.  He's an arrogant egomaniac.  Nothing he does surprises me.  I realized long ago - he lies!
