As far as, you know, my Fox offer and my salary and all that, I had no trouble getting any offers or interest from Fox News even before Trump as well.

Megyn Kelly’s new tell-all is tearing the lid off of her secret relationships with the biggest power players in media. I wish her well. We do good work, honest work there. “That is what happened in my case”. I’ve had enough of it. Be realistic, Kelly. I mean that isn’t realistic. He was on the cover of multiple industry publications as the most powerful man in news.
Ailes and his lawyer Susan Estrich swiftly released a statemnt last week in response to Kelly’s claims, saying: ‘Mr.
Kelly is set to appear on Dr. Phil Monday afternoon, but a sneak peek of the episode which was obtained by the Daily Mail shows Kelly speaking out about the allegations against Ailes. When she reiterated that he did not “control the editorial content of The Kelly File”, he “snapped”.
Kelly also claims Ailes made “offers of professional advancement in exchange for sexual favors”.
Ch-ch-check out a clip of the interview (below) to hear what Kelly had to say about the meeting! It wasn’t good for me. And he’s had my back. “I’m not all that interested in this”, he said.
Fox News host Bill O’Reilly had an intense reaction when asked if he was interested in Megyn Kelly’s new book. “As I walked away from him, he followed me and asked an ominous question, ‘When is your contract up?'” “He was having a marital difficulty; perhaps he was just interested in having an extramarital affair”, Kelly said. Her contract with Fox expires next July and keeping her in the network’s prime-time lineup is a key priority of the Murdoch family that runs 21st Century Fox.

O’Reilly said on Fox yesterday, “I’m trying to stay out of any of that kind of stuff”. It’s a uniquely depressing real-time look at the mental gymnastics a woman has to do to be successful at Fox News. And that was it: “He started screaming at me; he hung-up the phone. and the next time we met was that Thursday night”. “I had, you know my children looking out the windows afraid of who was coming up and not understanding who was popping up on our porch”. And she says that after she asked him about his treatment of women at a Republican primary debate and he began relentlessly publicly attacking her, her daughter grew terrified of him. He greeted her with a hug, he said. An executive close to ABC told me that Kelly’s performance during her heavily promoted prime-time interview with Trump was particularly damaging to her perceived ability to “translate” to a morning show, where anchors are typically paid more handsomely than their prime-time counterparts. He wants to hurt me’.
