Megan Kelly Accuses Roger Ailes of Sexual Harassment in New Book
“There was a pattern to his behavior. I would be called into Roger’s office, he would shut the door, and over the next hour or two, he would engage in a kind of cat-and-mouse game with me—veering between obviously inappropriate sexually charged comments (e.g. about the ‘very sexy bras’ I must have and how he’d like to see me in them) and legitimate professional advice,” Kelly alleges, according to Radar.
Kelly says she rejected every advance, but her former boss “crossed a new line” in 2006, when he allegedly grabbed her and tried to kiss her on the lips. “He asked me an ominous question, ‘When is your contract up?’ And then, for the third time, he tried to kiss me.”
She writes that she reported him to a supervisor, and the harassment stopped after six months.
.. Kelly called Lachlan Murdoch, co-chairman of 21st Century Fox, directly, and told him and the firm’s general counsel about Ailes’s behavior.
