Report: Ailes ‘Furious’ at Megyn Kelly Amid Reports He’s Leaving Fox

Gabriel Sherman, the New York Magazine reporter who broke big news about Roger Ailes leaving Fox this week, has more information tonight on the behind-the-scenes drama at Fox News.

Reports saying Ailes is officially out have been seriously walked back.

But according to Sherman, there’s a lot of internal angst and anger––especially over his new report today that Megyn Kelly said Ailes harassed her:

Sources on both sides of Ailes and 21CF negotiations say situation is v fluid. One person speculates he could try to fire Megyn tonight!

Hearing Ailes is huddled with advisers in "full on crazy mode." He's furious that Megyn Kelly is now being credited with his ouster

He also threw out this new information:

The Paul, Weiss investigators have evidence that Ailes kissed Fox News women in his Fox office, sources say.

CNN reports they reached out to Kelly for comment numerous times but have received no response.
