Anyone hear about the allegations about Roger Ailes? Apparently he is a sexual predator and is now accused of sexual harassment by multiple women who have worked for him and other women. Some of the stories given are both really disgusting and horrifying. I'm not a big fan of the guy regardless of this and these stories don't help my opinion of him. One person has filed a lawsuit regarding sexual harassment against him and this resulted in many women coming out. It's sickening that someone with so much power would do this. Reminded me of TCAP so thought I would share. What are everyone's thoughts on this?

Here is one story I found particularly horrifying:
Susan,* 66
Former model
I was 16 years old, living in Radnor, Pennsylvania. I was sent over for a walk-on part on The Mike Douglas Show in the winter of 1967. It was 6:30 in the evening and the place was totally closing up. Ailes took me into this big office and locked the door with a key. He reclined on a couch in a seating area under a map that had flags of all the cities they were syndicated in. He proceeded to pull down his pants and very gingerly pull out his genitals and said, “Kiss them.” And they were red, like raw hamburger. He was pretty meticulously dressed, with long white shirttails coming out. It was like he was just at the end of a long day and I was supposed to know what to do. I was a kid — I’d never seen a man’s privates before. I jumped up, but the door was locked and nobody was out there. He chased me around the office, and at some point it dawned on him that this just wasn’t going to happen. He finally pulled up his trousers. He was very angry and rushed over to his desk, pulled open a door, and had a reel-to-reel tape recorder going. He said to me, "Don’t tell anybody about this. I’ve got it all on tape." I think he knew I was 16.
