CNN’s Camerota alleges sexual harassment at Fox

Alisyn Camerota left Fox News in March 2014 without another job lined up and without a good explanation. She had spent 16 years at the network.

Several months later, Camerota caught on with CNN, where she co-hosts the morning program New

Day along with Chris Cuomo. In an interview with CNN colleague Brian Stelter, host of Reliable Sources, Camerota has talked about her treatment at the hands of former Fox boss Roger Ailes, who is alleged to have sexually harassed a couple of dozen women over the course of his career. He has denied all the allegations against him.

Early in her Fox News career, Camerota tells Stelter, she went to Ailes with a request for a bigger portfolio at Fox News. He suggested they work together “really closely” and that it “. . . might have to happen at a hotel. Do you know what I’m saying?” Camerota refused the advance.

She says she was prompted to speak out following last week’s dismissal of Bill O’Reilly by Fox. The Washington Post
