Megyn Kelly: Roger Ailes Grabbed Me Three Times
/
Megyn Kelly who always make sure to make the story about her, claims that Fox News boss Roger Ailes tried to grab her three times and make out with her.
Talking to Business Insider, Kelly said, "That feeling I'll never forget — of going in there (Ailes office) and having him lock that door," Kelly said. "It culminated in him trying to be with me physically, and it was only at that point where you couldn't pretend it wasn't happening anymore that I really had to come to terms with it. And I ran out of the guy's office; he tried to grab me three times and make out with me."
Each time Ailes grabbed Kelly she shoved him off her, she said. After the last time, Ailes asked her when her contract was up, she said.
Kelly said she reported Ailes' behavior to a supervisor but was told to "steer clear of him."
Kelly said that, though she was uncomfortable, because of the position she was in at the time, it seemed like good advice — but in retrospect, she said, it was "terrible."
The NBC News host advised women to find a way to report inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace, even if it seems futile.
"I want to say to those women: I understand. It's not that I'm oblivious of how hard it is to report," Kelly said. "But I want to say: find a way. Because the culture — I don't want to say has changed, but it is changing, meaningfully, by the moment, thanks to the women that are finding the courage."
And also remember no matter what your story and no matter how you report it, somehow Megyn Kelly will inject herself into the story and make it all about her.
