Huge Fox News Anchor Claims Roger Alies Sexually Harassed Her Too Fox News broadcaster Megyn Kelly has told investigators hired by 21st Century Fox that her boss, Roger Ailes, has sexually harassed her in the past, and Ailes has now been asked to resign by Aug. 1 or face termination over the recently surfaced allegations about his workplace behavior, according to areportbyNew Yorkmagazine. Twenty-first Century Fox, the media giant thatowns Fox News Channel, declined to comment. Spokespeople forFox News, the conservative-leaning cable news network founded by Ailes in 1996, couldnt immediately be reached for comment. According to two sources, Monday afternoon lawyers for 21st Century Fox gave Ailes a deadline of August 1 to resign or face being fired for cause. Ailess legal team which now includes Susan Estrich, former campaign manager for Michael Dukakis has yet to respond to the offer. Ailes has also received advice on strategy from Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani, sources say. Ailess strategy so far has included attacking Kelly in the press. According to sources, Ailes spokesperson Irena Briganti has been criticizing Kelly toreporters, saying she is selfish to not stand up for the man who gave her career opportunities. Roughly a dozen Fox women have praised Ailes since Carlson filed her suit. According to a Fox source, the pro-Ailes campaign has been led by Fox anchor KimberlyGuilfoyle, who has filled in hosting Carlsons former 2 p.m. time slot. Briganti did not respond to a request for comment. Back in the mid-2000s, when Ailes allegedly harassed her, Kelly, a former corporate attorney, was a legal correspondent in Foxs Washington bureau. Soon she was appearing regularly on Bill OReillys show and hosting her own legal segments. In 2010, Ailes gave her a two-hour daytime show, and in 2013, he moved her into prime time to replace Sean Hannity at 9 p.m. Kellys agent Matthew DelPiano at CAA did not respond to requests for comment. 21st Century Fox did not comment. Meanwhile, the Paul, Weiss lawyers are attempting to interview former Fox employees who have stories of harassment but havent spoken because they signed settlements with Ailess Fox attorney, Dianne Brandi. 21st Century Fox is now waiving the NDAs to allow women to speak.
