‘Please Help Me’: Megyn Kelly Talks Sexual Harassment at Fox, Roger Ailes In Upcoming Interview
Megyn Kelly will address her time at Fox News and the sexual harassment she says she endured there in an upcoming interview.
In an official preview of her forthcoming sit-down with Shawn Ryan of The Shawn Ryan Show, Kelly opened up about her experiences.
“It sounds like the sexual harassment was just running rampant throughout the entire Fox News organization. Is that an accurate assumption?” asked Ryan at the outset of the teaser.
“I think it was pretty, pretty common,” replied Kelly.
After being prompted to speak about the other women victimized, Kelly also recalls how she “didn’t want this person to speak clear- to run to human resources.”
“I wasn’t like, ‘Let’s make a record, this is inappropriate.’ I was like ‘Please help me,'” she said.

In another instance, Ryan inquired about how “it” started.
‘I was very young. I was at the very beginning of my career there, still a reporter in DC, and Roger [Ailes] took an interest in me early on. It wasn’t all because he wanted to sleep with me,” said Kelly. “I think he understood he had somebody who was a lawyer and that he really wanted to develop it, because above all, he was a capitalist. He wanted to make money.”
She also went on to say while there was “goodness” in the Me Too movement, it “was so disgusting by its end. So corrupted and unjust and devoid of due process and such a witch hunt.”
Kelly worked at Fox from 2004 until 2017. Ailes, the longtime CEO of Fox News, resigned in 2016, just days after it was reported that Kelly was among those to have been harassed by him.
