"You know if you want to play with the big boys, you have to lay with the big boys.
Those were the words one woman, a former Republican National Committee field adviser, claims Fox News head Roger Ailes used on her one night in 1989 as she was attempting to land a contract with the RNC, reports New York magazine.
Like the case of Bill Cosby, sexual harassment allegations are beginning to flood in after one victim former Fox host Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit this week against the powerful conservative news executive.
According to Gabriel Sherman, who wrote a biography on Ailes in 2014, allegations of highly inappropriate sexual banter by Ailes come as no surprise, dating back to the 60s when he was a producer on The Mike Douglas Show.

(6,852 posts)One allegation of sexual harassment against an influential person leads to others coming out. I guess when other victims read about the first allegation give them the courage to speak up.

From lifelong experience I know that if any man has demanded sexual gratification from one women, he's demanded it from every women he has any power over. No woman is so exceptional that she's the only one to be sexually assaulted in some way. Ailes probably said it to every good looking woman in front of him.
The only bets to make are just how many women he did this to.
