Fox Host Charles Payne Suspended After Sexual Harassment Accusation

DailyCaller: Fox Business Network suspended host Charles Payne Thursday night after political commentator Scottie Nell Hughes accused him of sexual harassment.

The “Making Money” host has been suspended pending further investigation, according to the Los Angeles Times.

“We take issues of this nature extremely seriously and have a zero-tolerance policy for any professional misconduct,” a Fox representative said. “This matter is being thoroughly investigated and we are taking all of the appropriate steps to reach a resolution in a timely manner.”

Payne admitted to having an affair from 2013 to 2016 with Hughes, a former CNN employee who was often a guest on Fox News. Hughes is married. He made a statement to the National Enquirer Wednesday, apologizing to his family and friends.

The sexual harassment allegations came after Hughes went to Fox News’ law firm and accused Payne of misconduct, saying that he snubbed her after she tried to end the affair in 2015. She told her lawyer that she continued the affair “because she believed he would help her chances of landing a position at the network,” according to LA Times’ sources. She alleges that Payne threatened unfavorable consequences if she did not acquiesce.

  1. As long as people choose to use their body to gain achievement of any kind, they loose their credibility and integrity, morally.

    Sounds like another attempt to kill FOX.

    I find it very interesting, that the only reason the left followers can get away with ‘exposing’ right followers, is that people of the right actually care for at least the facade of morality. The left wallows in heahenistic ways. They pat each other on the back and cover up for each other.

    On the right, the pretense goes on. The right acts like someone farted in the elevator and start finger pointing and clearing the area.

    Sometimes, just sometimes, I’d really love to see the right, actually stand by their side, support it. What the hell happened to loyalty and family?

  2. FOX is on a mission to rid itself of its most conservative employees. I hope O’Riley goes through with his plan to start a new network. That is going to have to happen if we want to continue to WIN. Fox is no longer even “fair and balanced” they keep leaning further and further left.

  3. So… let me get this straight. She’s a dirty, cheating, mattress-back slut that hooked-up with Charles because she believed that she would advance her career if she serviced him and when it didn’t pan out, she screams “sexual harrasment”…. Not only is she a whore, she’s also obviously in possession of a sub-par intellect.
    The needle on my “Moral Outrage” meter has not moved off of zero.

  4. Women sure did learn some valuable skills from the climate change whores (No matter what happens (hot or cold) blame it on climate change)! If he looks at you blame it on sex discrimination! If he doesn’t look at you blame it on sex discrimination! See how easy it is to sue for his money!

  5. -=BROKEN RECORD=-

    Sounds like a LOT of women who fuck for power doesn’t it? It’s not sexual harassment until they don’t get what they want, or until the night before an election, or the statue of limitations is about to run out.

  6. I suspect that this is more of a woman scorned (or to be more precise her plan to sleep her way up the corporate ladder was scorned) who is getting back using the sexual harrassment hammer and the courts. He ought not to have slept with this harridan in the first place but we all make mistakes. I hope he unloads on her during the suit with references as to who started the fling, who kept it going, whether she asked for professional considerations, how often she asked, whether she expressed any regrets for the effect it had on his family, has she done this with others etc etc. She needs to be exposed and suffer the humiliation and scorn due to a person who would set out to endanger a marriage for professional advancement as it seems clear she didn’t have the talent or skill to do it on her on.

  7. Damn!
    I liked him.
    I remember him telling how the other black kids made fun of him growing up when he started carrying an attaché case – said he had sold out to the man.

  8. “… he snubbed her …”

    First time I’ve heard it called that …

    SNUB
    VERB
    rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully:

    How can that be construed as “harassment;” sexual or otherwise?

    He (his?) ignoring her is sexual harassment based on her expectations after committing adultery with him? Funny world.
