Carlson v. Ailes case deepens as decades-old harassment claims surface

Lawyers for Gretchen Carlson, who is suing Fox News boss Roger Ailes for sexual harassment, say Ailes is the "Bill Cosby of media."

Ailes' representatives say Carlson's attorneys are irresponsible publicity hounds.

On Saturday, New York magazine published allegations of inappropriate behavior by Ailes from six other women, two of whom spoke on the record.

Three hours later Ailes' attorney Barry Asen responded, "It has become obvious that Ms. Carlson and her lawyer are desperately attempting to litigate this in the press because they have no legal case to argue. The latest allegations, all 30 to 50 years old, are false."

She is, I believe, the 1 woman in the evening prime time line-up. She also took Trump to task for his statements/treatment of women and made a little name for herself in doing so. Then she turned around and kissed his plump ass during her interview of him.
