More bombshell sexual harassment claims at Fox News: Star anchor Megyn Kelly has told investigators that her boss, Roger Ailes, sexually harassed her in the past.
According to New York Magazine, Kelly told investigators that Ailes made unwanted sexual advances toward her about 10 years ago when she was a young correspondent at Fox.
New York Magazine also reports that Kelly has encouraged a former colleague at Fox to speak out about being harassed by Ailes.
The former anchor allegedly told Kelly that Ailes kissed her against her will during a private meeting.
These accounts are the latest in a string of alleged sexual harassment claims at Fox.
In early July, Fox News Host Gretchen Carlson filed a lawsuit alleging that Ailes made sexual advances toward her, and her rejection of those advances cost her her job at the network.
Carlson recently posted a video message on her Twitter page in support of other sexual harassment victims.
"I want to support all women who have been victims of sexual harassment," she says in the video. "It's time for us to come out of the shadows and let our voices be heard because it's so important that we will not be silenced."
Carlson has received both support and backlash for her claims of harassment and for posting the video.
"Love you and your stand against bully like FOX CEO. I believe you. Bringing darkness to the light is example of greatness," wrote @Eljibarito2.
@Nadomom responded, "Well said, @GretchenCarlson. Keep speaking out and encouraging other victims to do the same."
"Ms. Carlson, get another job and move on with grace and style," said @thdphd.
Now, six other women have come forward with allegations of sexual harassment by Ailes when he was a producer on The Mike Douglas Show.
"He pulled out a garter belt and stockings and told me to put them on. I was very nervous; I didn't know what to do. He was standing there and I put them on. He wanted me to model them for him," a former model/actress using the alias "Jane" said.
"After that, something sexual took place but I blocked it out of my mind. I don't know if I engaged with him orally or he engaged with himself. I felt I was being used for his sexual satisfaction. I felt very threatened," she said.
An attorney for Ailes released the following statement regarding the new allegations: "It has become obvious that Ms. Carlson and her lawyer are desperately attempting to litigate this in the press because they have no legal case to argue. The latest allegations, all 30 to 50 years old, are false."
YouGov reports that women (29%) are more likely than men (12%) to say they have been a victim of sexual harassment at work. Thirty-seven percent reported it to managers or pursued legal action.
Nearly half the country (46%) of Americans are not following the story of sexual harassment claims at Fox, while 63% are not sure if the allegations are true.
Meanwhile, Ailes denies the claims, but there are reports that he may be on his way out at Fox.
