Report: Roger Ailes Harassed Others Too

Multiple sources relay allegations similar to Carlson’s.

Gretchen Carlson is not the only female Fox News personality to experience alleged sexual harassment at the hands of network chief Roger Ailes. According to Huffington Post reporter Michelle Fields—a former Fox News contributor herself—multiple women at the network anonymously relayed stories confirming they've had similar experiences to what Carlson alleged in her lawsuit filed against Ailes on Wednesday morning. “He asked me to turn around so he can see my ass,” one source said of a past meeting with Ailes. Another employee recalled to Fields how Ailes allegedly describes his hiring decisions: “He always brags to people about how he doesn’t do polling or testing when he chooses his on-air talent. He told me that if he was thinking of hiring a woman, he’d ask himself if he would fuck her, and if he would, then he’d hire her to be on-camera. He then said if it was a man he’d think about whether he could sit down for a baseball game with him and not get annoyed of him. If he could, then he’d hire him.”
