Blame that on "The Cut" - New York magazine's fashion and beauty website.
Think Glamour or Vogue with a bit more politically-influenced coverage.
Though a response of what the hell seems reasonable regardless of who published
it.

This was a good story. I didn't watch the show so I didn't realize
they had significant on-air tension.

Meanwhile, Fox says there will be an internal investigation (and don't be
sure that it will be perfunctory, since it's nosecret that James and
Lachlan Murdoch, who are running 21st Century Fox, are not as enamored of
Ailes as their father), while Ailes has predictably fiercely defended
himself in a statement and calls the suit "offensive," hinting that Carlson
should be glad that her talents were appreciated so much at FNC (oh,
intercourse me):
http://www.thewrap.com/fox-news-launches-internal-review-into-roger-ailes-sexual-harassment-allegations
Granted, FNC's main audience isn't going to think that there's anything
wrong going on here, but if Carlson's claims are legitimate (and I suspect
they are), either Ailes is gone or he figures out a way to get out of it and
throws Doocy overboard. Considering that a chronic abuser of women in
Chicago was recently forced to close his theater company for even worse
actions (andgranted, theater's a lot more liberal-leaning than Fox News),
Ailes is not safe.
The FNC internal investigation is for damage control. Now that this is in
the public, they want to see if other employees will step forward and either
corroborate Carlson's story or say that they were harassed in the same way.
They then have to decide whether a quiet settlement or public court fight is
preferable.
And let's acknowledge Carlson's courage. Her social media probably (since
hers and mine don't overlap I can't verify it) blew up today with angry
violent misogyny and that would continue into the foreseeable future. Unless
she wants to leave the public sphere she can't just disconnect from those
platforms. Plus she is seen as betraying the conservative movement and that
increases the anger. She can no longer work in conservative media and if
that's where her heart is, it's now closed to her for good.
