Geraldo Rivera Apologizes for Skepticism of Roger Ailes Sex Harassment Claims
Fox News correspondent at-large Geraldo Rivera on Thursday apologized for discounting claims of sexual harassment made by former network anchor Gretchen Carlson and others against ex-CEO Roger Ailes.
Two days after Rivera defended Ailes in a tweet, "it became apparent that Gretchen was not alone in alleging abhorrent behavior behind his closed doors," Rivera wrote on Facebook. "Now I am filled with regret for stubbornly discounting their various allegations."
Ailes, who is credited with turning Fox News into a media powerhouse over two decades, stepped down from his position in July after Carlson filed a lawsuit in which she claimed Ailes had sabotaged her career after she rejected his sexual advances.
Ailes has denied the claims.
