Wow! Olā Rowdy Roger makes Bill Clinton look like a celibate monk!
I wonder how much of Ailesās negotiated exit golden parachute will go to his victims?
Very sad. Very telling. I hope as many women as possible who were harassed, molested and raped by this man can gather the strength and courage to come forward. Iām especially interested in hearing from all from Ailesā tenure with āThe Mike Douglas Show.ā Thanks, TPM, for following this developing story.
Her legal team didnāt detail the womenās allegations beyond saying they stem from Ailesā current role as CEO of Fox News and reach as far back as his tenure as a producer on āThe Mike Douglas Showā in the 1960s.
Mike Douglas didn't care if you sexually harrassed women in his employ. But you better damn well stay away from his office boys!
I think Cosby has 57 at last count. Roger has a way to go. But itās very early yet.
This shouldnāt end with Ailesās departure from Fox only. I want her to get her day in court vs him, and as an extension, vs Fox (even though technically it was filed against Ailes).
Meanwhile, Iām holding my breath about how this case will develop.
Except Billās conquests were actually willing and enthusiastic and their jobs didnāt depend on it.
This is epic! Ailes has been Cosbied!!!
Fox needs to stop serving falafel in the dining room.
Drip, drip drip.
Someoneās going to become a very very wealthy woman.
Everyone one of these women/men who were harassed by Ailes is a āenabler!ā
enĀ·aĀ·bler
iĖnÄblÉr,e-/
noun
a person or thing that makes something possible.
āthe people who run these workshops are crime enablersā
a person who encourages or enables negative or self-destructive behavior in another.
By keeping quiet and playing along with Aileās, they proved that is was all about money and fame and not sexual harassment even though on Aileās part, it was sexual harassment! None these women and men at Fox (Aileās was more than likely a bi-sexual sexual pervert, depending on his mood) thought for a second about telling Aileās to stop and walk away! None of them did, the fame and money was more important to them than the sexual harassment!
Aileās is a creep, but a lot of the blame on those that allowed the sexual harassment to continue on throughout the years!
Donald Trump in 1998: Bill Clinton Is a āVictimā of āUnattractiveā Women
Donald Trump plans to make former President Bill Clintonās sexual history come back to haunt him by labelling him as an āabuserā of women.
Yet nearly two decades ago, Trump verbally abused the very people he purports to defendāand even suggested Clinton was a āvictim.ā
During an August 1998 appearance on Fox News, the real estate mogul was asked about then-President Clintonās multiple alleged extramarital affairs and sexual harassment cases. Trump proceeded to rail against the Clinton accusers.
āThe whole thing, itās just so unattractive,ā the orange-hued demagogue told host Neil Cavuto, according to transcripts. āLinda Tripp may be one of the most unattractive human beings Iāve ever seenānot women, human beings. Sheās just an unattractive person. This [Lucianne] Goldberg person, her agent or whatever she is, is just a terrible woman. You look at Paula Jones, I mean the whole cast of characters.ā
He added: āItās like itās from Hell. Itās a terrible group of people.ā
Seconds later, Trump felt the need to reiterate his obsession with their appearance.
āThe whole group, itās truly an unattractive cast of charactersāLinda Tripp, Lucianne GoldbergāI mean, this womanāI watch her on television, just vomiting. She is so bad. The whole groupāPaula Jones, Lewinskyāitās just a really unattractive group.
āAnd Iām not just talking about physical, but I am also talking about physical.ā
How do I characterize this man without insulting loathsome toads?
You highly underestimate the cost (and Iām speaking primarily of non-economic cost here) victims pay for going public.
Jerry Springer and a few other morning TV hosts rake in millions parading people across the stage, the audience casting Trump-like judgments all the while. Trump is detestable on that count, but heās no different than a significant portion of the population in doing it.
And Carlson, et al, should extend the lawsuit to include Murdoch and all the other FOX executives that enabled Ailes to harass for so long.
The harassment lawsuit is against Ailes personally.
Hie employment status has no bearing on the suit.
If you reported for work, cashed your checks, and didnāt establish a paper trail of complaints with your human resources department while doing so youāre in for a difficult slog at trial.
Fortunately, heās the only one of that portion who has been nominated for President by a major party. I can focus my loathing on him for now.
