6 More Women Accuse Roger Ailes of Sexual Harassment

HeadlineJul 11, 2016

A half-dozen women have spoken out about being sexually harassed by Fox News Chair Roger Ailes. This comes only days after former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson sued Ailes for sexual harassment, saying he made repeated advances toward her. Carlson also says when she rejected his advances, Ailes retaliated against her by cutting her salary, curtailing her airtime and then refusing to renew her contract. One of the six women to speak with New York Magazine says she was 16 when Roger Ailes brought her into his office, locked the door and then pulled down his pants. When she refused to perform oral sex, she says he chased her around the office until finally allowing her to leave the room.
