alleged sexual 'harassment'.

Disgruntled narcissistic employee who didn't get what she believed she was 'entitled' to?

95% of my co-workers were women. Man, I'm glad I'm retired!!

My thoughts also. Her contract was not renewed and now the lawsuit.

She wasn't the prettiest filly in the stable. Ol' Roger either needed glasses or she needed a better reason to try and shake him down. I suspect the oculists won't support her position.

The bottom line in TV is ratings. She just turned 50 and she was probably becoming stale with viewers. Ailes did not become successful chasing skirts. After a couple of days this will go away and Ailes will write a check for it to go away.

That about sums it up SSM.
But then, does anyone really care what happens at the Establishment network?

I liked Gretchen too.  She had her own show from 2-3 pm eastern time.  I guess it hasn't been doing that well.

I don't watch TV.  But what little I know about her, she thinks she a role model for women.  My question would be why did she wait until she was terminated to file a law suit.  She talks the talk but did not walk the walk until she was terminated.   So my question would also be is she doing this as the show she on is not doing well.  That way they will think twice about dropping her show she now has.    Just an old mans thinking.

Conservatives dumped FOX, nearly half their viewership left, and the same amount dumped Rush as well, so it's understandable her viewership suffered as well.

I stand corrected.

Fox agrees to pay $50M in just about two months since the suit was filed. This is just not done unless she had the goods on Ailes.

Sorry as it S/B $20M not $50M.

Murdoch's networth... $11.7 billion. I'd say this is a drop in the bucket.

Yep. Pay and  hope it goes away. The real happy folks are Gretchen's lawyers at 33.3% by writing letters and no trial.

If I were her, I'd buy an island and call it a life.

Dem's will spend it all in under 10 years and ask for more.
