Another Fox News Host Suspended Over Sexual Harassment Scandal
Fox News has another major sexual harassment scandal on their hands.
Fox News has suspended Eric Bolling pending an investigation into sexual harassment accusations including that he sent lewd messages to multiple female coworkers.
Fox News confirmed Bolling’s suspension Saturday afternoon in a statement saying “Eric Bolling has been suspended pending the results of an investigation, which is currently underway,” a Fox spokesperson said.
Bolling is alleged to have sent lewd messages he is accused of sending multiple female coworkers at Fox News and Fox Business Channel.
The Huffington Post reported that, according to a dozen sources, at least two of Bolling’s female coworkers at Fox Business and one at Fox News had received unsolicited photos of male genitalia from Bolling.
One of Bolling’s victims has come forward publically. On Saturday, Caroline Heldman who is an associate professor of politics at Occidental College and frequent guest on Fox News recounted harassment from Bolling in a Facebook post.
“There are a lot of great people working at Fox, many of whom I admire and respect to this day, but there is also a culture of sexual harassment that has not fully been addressed,” she wrote.
“I have faith that, given recent decisions to fire and suspend perpetrators, the new management will effectively shift this culture.
