Former model alleges Roger Ailes took out his genitals and told her to perform oral sex as SIX women come forward with harassment claims in wake of Gretchen Carlson suit

• e-mail

Gretchen Carlson is not alone in her allegations of sexual harassment against Roger Ailes as six women have now come forward claiming the Fox News CEO made unwanted sexual advances towards them, including some who were only teenagers at the time.

Daily Intelligencer spoke with the women about their alleged encounters with Ailes, four of whom decided to withhold their names citing shame and fear of retribution as their reasons for not revealing their identity.

Three of the women were models at the time of alleged incident, one was a TV producer, one was a media consultant and one was a Republican National Committee field adviser.

Firing back: Roger Ailes (left) and his legal team filed papers in federal court Friday arguing that Gretchen Carlson (right) was in breach of contract when she filed her lawsuit

Claim: The popular host of The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson (above with Miss America 2015 Kira Kazantsev in 2014) filed a complaint on Wednesday alleging that she was let go after 11 years with the network for refusing to sleep with Ailes

One of the models, whose name has been withheld, claims that she met Ailes on the set of The Mike Douglas Show in 1967 when she went to try and get a walk-on part. Ailes was the executive producer of the program at the time.

She alleges that she arrived late in the evening as they were closing up and Ailes took her to his office and locked the door.

'He reclined on a couch in a seating area under a map that had flags of all the cities they were syndicated in,' said the woman, identified as Susan. 

'He proceeded to pull down his pants and very gingerly pull out his genitals and said, “Kiss them.” And they were red like raw hamburger.' 

Susan, now 66, claims she refused his offer and ran around the office until Ailes 'finally pulled up his trousers.' He then allegedly pulled out a tape recorder and said: 'Don’t tell anybody about this. I’ve got it all on tape.'

'I think he knew I was sixteen,' said Susan.

Barry Asen of Epstein, Becker and Green, who is representing Ailes, said in a statement: 'It has become obvious that Ms. Carlson and her lawyer are desperately attempting to litigate this in the press because they have no legal case to argue. 

'The latest allegations, all 30 to 50 years old, are false.' 

The accusations made by these women also all occurred well before Ailes was at Fox News.  

Sharing her story: Kelly Boyle (above) alleges that Roger Ailes made unwanted sexual advances towards her in 1989 when she was 29

Kellie Boyle claims that Ailes propositioned her back in 1989 when she was 29 after her husband, who worked at CNBC, introduced the pair.

After that first meeting Boyle, now 54, claims that Ailes invited her to his office in New York City and then out to dinner in Washington DC when the two realized they would be in the capitol at the same time.

It was after that dinner that Boyle claims Ailes propositioned her, allegedly implying that if she went along it would be a benefit to her career.

Boyle claims she was with Ailes' in his car when he said to her: 'You know if you want to play with the big boys, you have to lay with the big boys.’

He then allegedly began listing women he had been with, referring to the women who are with men in the media and politics worlds as their 'friend'.

Boyle claims she then asked: 'Would I have to be friends with anybody else?' 

Ailes allegedly responded by saying: 'Well you might have to give a blowjob every once in a while.'

When she told him she would have to think about, Ailes allegedly said: 'No, if you don’t do it now, you know that means you won’t.'

Boyle said that Ailes called her a few days later and asked: 'Have you changed your mind yet?'

That is when she claims she told Ailes how much she loved her husband and was committed to their relationship.

She did not hear from him again but claims that later on a high-ranking friend in the Republican National Committee said: 'Word went out you weren’t to be hired.'

Marsha Callahan was another model who claims she met Ailes around 1967 while doing an episode of The Mike Douglas.

'I recall very clearly, he said he’d put me on the show but I needed to go to bed with him,' said Callahan. 

'I was a really shy girl, but I was a little cheeky so I said, "Oh yeah, you and who else?" And he said, "Only me and a few of my select friends."'

Callahan, now 73, claims she eventually turned him down, and that he later ignored her when they saw one another in passing on set.

Jane was an actress hoping to break into broadcasting when she met Ailes in 1982 at the age of 30 she claims, going to his office to tape an audition segment with him. 

He then allegedly locked the door and made Jane, now 62, change her clothes. 

'He pulled out a garter belt and stockings and told me to put them on. I was very nervous; I didn’t know what to do,' claims Jane. 

'He was standing there and I put them on. He wanted me to model them for him. 

'After that, something sexual took place, but I blocked it out of my mind. I don’t know if I engaged with him orally or he engaged with himself. 

'I felt I was being used for his sexual satisfaction. I felt very threatened.'

Diane, a 69-year-old media consultant who is withholding her name, also claims that she met Ailes when she and some friends from her modelling agency were sent down to audition for a spot on The Mike Douglas Show in 1965 or 66 when she was still a teenager. 

The girls were taken in one at a time to speak with Ailes claims Diane.

'When my turn came I went in and he didn’t waste any time. He grabbed me and had his hands on me and he forced me to kiss him,' claims Diane. 

'When I recoiled he said, "Well, you know no girls get a job here unless they’re cooperative." I just pushed him away and ran out of there.'

Pat, a 65-year-old former TV producer, said she met Ailes in 1975 during an interview at his Central Park South apartment.

'I don’t remember his exact words, but his message was: If you want to make it in New York City in the TV business, you’re going to have to fuck me, and you’re going to do that with anyone I tell you to,' claims Pat of her interview with Ailes. 

'I was afraid he was going to pin me down. He was a big guy and I’m not big at all. He could have overpowered me. I remember running out of that apartment like my hair was on fire and standing on the sidewalk crying, thinking, "What’s that guy think I was, a prostitute?"'

Carlson filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey on Wednesday alleging that she was let go on June 23 after 11 years with the network for refusing to sleep with Ailes.

Carlson wrote in her court filing about a conversation she had with Ailes last September in which he allegedly said to her: 'I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you'd be good and better and I'd be good and better.'

Ailes has denied her claims. 

Carlson's lawyers said in a statement on Saturday shortly after the article about these women was published: 'Yesterday in a statement to the press ("litigating in the press"), an Ailes spokesperson challenged Gretchen's lawyers to come forward with other victims of Ailes' sexual harassment to speak on the record.

'Today, six brave women voluntarily spoke out to New York Magazine detailing their traumatic sexual harassment by Ailes. We are hearing from others.

'Then, Barry Asen, Ailes' lawyer, accused Gretchen of "litigating in the press" and, without any investigation, within 3 hours, claimed that the allegations are false. How does he know that?

'Women have the right to speak out -- whether Ailes likes it or not -- even about trauma they endured years ago and that haunts them to this day. Calling these women liars because they chose to speak out is despicable. Bullying and threats will not silence these brave women.' 

The room where it allegedly happened: Three of the six women who came forward claim they received Ailes' unwanted sexual advances while at The Mike Douglas Show

Ailes and his lawyers claim that Carlson was in breach of her contract when she made the decision to publicly file a sexual harassment suit against her former Fox News boss, and are hoping to have the case moved to arbitration.

In court documents filed late Friday in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Ailes' legal team points to a clause in the 'multi-million dollar employment agreement' that Carlson signed in 2013 which contained an 'arbitration provision.'

That actual clause is included in the filing and states: 'Any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Performer’s [Plaintiff’s] employment shall be brought before a mutually selected three-member arbitration panel and held in New York City in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association [“AAA”] then in effect.'

It then further stipulates: 'Such arbitration, all filings, evidence and testimony connected with the arbitration, and all relevant allegations and events leading up to the arbitration, shall be held in strict confidence.'

The filing also takes direct aim at Carlson and her legal team, accusing Carlson of attempting to try the case in the press,

'Plaintiff improperly filed her public Complaint with the Superior Court, as opposed to filing it with the AAA and adhering to her contractually-required confidentiality obligation, so that her counsel could tar Mr. Ailes’s reputation publicly, try this case in the media press, and coerce him to settle,' reads the filing submitted by Ailes' attorney.

The filing goes on to say about Carlson's legal team: 'Plaintiff’s counsel has been on a non-stop tour of major media outlets ever since, making one false and defamatory statement after another.'

Memo: Days after their meeting Ailes sent a memo to head of programming Bill Shine about giving Carlson 'another chance'

Asen, who filed the documents on Friday, said in a statement: 'Gretchen Carlson had an arbitration clause in her contract, stating that any employment dispute regarding her employment at Fox News must be done via confidential arbitration.

'Because Ms. Carlson’s lawsuit violated the arbitration clause, a motion was filed in federal court to have the case arbitrated. The federal court is the proper court to decide the motion because Ms. Carlson’s primary residence is in Connecticut and Mr. Ailes’ primary residence is in New York.'

Nancy Erika Smith and Martin Hyman, who are representing Carlson in the case, also released a statement on Friday after this most recent filing in the case.

'Roger Ailes is trying to force this case into a secret arbitration proceeding. Gretchen never agreed to arbitrate anything with Mr. Ailes and the contract on which he relies does not mention him and is not signed by him,' they said in a statement.

'Gretchen intends to fight for her right to a public jury trial, a right protected by the discrimination laws and our Constitution. It is disturbing that the head of a large media company would try to silence the press and hide from the public a matter of such importance.'

The filing came one day after Fox News released four personal notes that Carlson wrote to Ailes in the months after she alleges he asked her to sleep with him, including one just days after that meeting.

In the notes Carlson pleads with Ailes to be given more air time and for the chance to fill in for hosts Megyn Kelly and Greta Van Susteren on their programs.

'I'd love to stay at Fox & show you everything that I can do,' wrote Carlson in a letter sent on September 21, just after she alleges Ailes propositioned her.

She then suggested that she and Fox News correspondent Bill Hemmer do a 7pm show for the network.

On November 11, she sent Ailes a note after Fox Business Network hosted the Republican debate, writing: 'Maybe for the next debate you could incorporate my experience, smarts & wit - on stage - or doing the FoxNews.com analysis after.'

She closed the note by writing: 'I know I wouldn't let you down.' 

In her October 9 letter to Ailes, Carlson broached the subject of filling in for other hosts on the network, writing: 'I hope you'll reconsider me filling in for Greta or Megyn. Last [night] Sandra Smith filled in for MK. Why not me?'

She signed the note with a smiley face.

A few weeks later, on October 27, she sent Ailes to let him know she would be appearing in front of Congress, closing pout the letter by writing: 'I have a waiting list for high level staff to come see me which is unprecedented. Thanks as always for your support.'

Days after their meeting Ailes also sent a memo to head of programming Bill Shine about giving Carlson 'another chance,' and to look into having her back on The O'Reilly Factor, the network's highest rated show.

'He’s the Bill Cosby of media,' Smith told Daily Intelligencer.

'My office is being deluged with calls and website contacts from women. I don’t even have a count anymore … Women as young as 16 who said he demanded oral sex.

'Another said during an interview that he said, "Take off her bra." She was devastated.'

A FOX News spokesperson responded to this by saying: 'This is a new low even for Gretchen and her opportunistic publicity hound lawyer - there’s absolutely no truth to this latest anonymous accusation.' 

Van Susteren also came to Ailes' defense in an interview with People, saying: 'Of course, the first thing that occurred to me is that, unfortunately, we have a disgruntled employee, a colleague. 

She went on to say: 'I read that her show wasn't being renewed and , being a lawyer, I thought she got angry. I deal with Roger Ailes often. I've often been alone with Roger Ailes in his office over the course of 15 years and I've never seen anything like what I'm reading about in the papers and the magazine.' 

Van Susteren also said 'most people, man or woman, would give anything to have had the air time [Carlson] had on Fox & Friends,' adding that her move to the network's afternoon lineup to host her show was a 'huge promotion.' 

Kiran Chetry, a former Fox news anchor, also commented on her relationship with Ailes in a Facebook post, saying: 'Over the years at Fox, I met with Roger Ailes one-on-one many times and never once did Roger ever make me feel uncomfortable or put forth any sexual advances.

'I can't speak for Gretchen since I wasn't in the room obviously but I will tell you that I never felt uncomfortable around Roger Ailes.

'And that's the reason I'm speaking out. Because I think this Situation points to a larger issue --which is that there are very real instances where people are or feel sexually propositioned or intimidated by those in positions of power and are too afraid to speak out. 

'That is a fact. The flip-side is whenever someone is accused of sexually harassing or intimidating someone who works under them, they are as good as dead reputation- wise.' 

She closed by writing: 'Even though our parting was ugly and public, largely because of miscommunications and middle-men, I would never use this situation to settle a score.' 

Former Westchester County district attorney and Fox News contributor Jeanine Pirro also spoke highly of Ailes in an interview with People, saying he was a 'delight to be around. 

'When I started working for him, it was a little different. It was a little more distant because he was running Fox,' said Pirro, who knew Ailes for over a decade prior to working for the network.

'He always had a smile on his face and always was a delight. I'm a huge fan of Roger Ailes, not just in terms of his personality and the man I never thought I would work for, but more than that. I think he's a giant. 

'I think he's does stuff in media that people said he couldn't. I have tremendous admiration for him.'

Question: Carlson wanted to know why Sandra Smith (left in 2007) filled in for Kelly (right in May) during her absence over her

Good fit: Carlson also asked for the chance to fill in for Van Susteren (above in 2006) in one letter

Team: Carlson suggested in one note that she and Fox News correspondent Bill Hemmer (above in April) do a 7pm show for the network

Carlson's lawyers revealed on Thursday they planned to subpoena Judith Regan to testify in their lawsuit. The former Harper Collins executive sued News Corp. in 2007 for $100million after claiming a senior executive at the company asked her to lie to federal investigators.

Regan did not respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com about this news. 

Meanwhile, 21st Century Fox, the network's parent company, responded to Carlson's complaint on Wednesday saying in a statement: 'While we have full confidence in Mr. Ailes and Mr. Doocy, who have served the company brilliantly for over two decades, we have commenced an internal review of the matter.' 

The Huffington Post spoke with Fox News insiders who made damaging claims about Ailes, with one employee alleging: 'He always brags to people about how he doesn’t do polling or testing when he chooses his on-air talent. He told me that if he was thinking of hiring a woman, he’d ask himself if he would f*** her, and if he would, then he’d hire her to be on-camera.' 

A contributor at the network meanwhile alleged that Ailes once asked her to 'turn around so he can see my a**.' 

And a third individual said they were not surprised when they learned that Carlson had filed her suit.

'We thought it would happen after she was taken off of Fox & Friends,' said the Fox News source. 

'She kept quiet because Roger gave her the afternoon show, but everyone at Fox knew it was eventually coming. He hated her and would tell people that she was "a crazy, vindictive b***."'

Ailes has himself admitted to hiring at least one women based on her looks, saying in a 2011 interview of his decision to bring Sarah Palin on as a Fox News commentator: 'I hired Sarah Palin because she was hot and got ratings.' 

He also said in a 1994 interview with Don Imus that Mary Matalin and Jane Wallace, who were the co-hosts of Equal Time on CNBC at the time, were 'girls who if you went into a bar around seven, you wouldn’t pay a lot of attention, but get to be tens around closing time.' 

Ailes was president of CNBC at the time, and would one year later be at Fox News. 

Ailes responded to Carlson's claims with a statement released on Wednesday that said: 'Gretchen Carlson’s allegations are false. This is a retaliatory suit for the network’s decision not to renew her contract, which was due to the fact that her disappointingly low ratings were dragging down the afternoon lineup. 

'When Fox News did not commence any negotiations to renew her contract, Ms. Carlson became aware that her career with the network was likely over and conveniently began to pursue a lawsuit. Ironically, FOX News provided her with more on-air opportunities over her 11 year tenure than any other employer in the industry, for which she thanked me in her recent book. 

'This defamatory lawsuit is not only offensive, it is wholly without merit and will be defended vigorously.'

Carlson's lawyers issued a response to this on Thursday morning, saying in a statement: 'Ailes’ claim that Gretchen Carlson was terminated because of bad ratings is demonstrably false. 

'The publicly available ratings confirm the allegation in the Complaint that at the time of her termination Gretchen’s total viewership was up 33% year to date and up 23% in the key demographic. 

'After her firing from Fox and Friends for complaining about discrimination, Gretchen was moved to a challenging time slot and denied support and promotion. Despite this, she succeeded and was the number one cable news show in her time slot in total viewers. 

'Regarding Ailes’ claims that Gretchen’s allegations are false, we challenge him to deny, under oath, that he made the statements attributed to him in the Complaint. 

'Finally, Ailes does not allow his employees to speak to the press or publish anything without prior approval. Gretchen was chastised for answering a question from a hometown newspaper about her favorite Minnesota State Fair food. In her book Gretchen told her story while trying to keep her job - knowing that Ailes had to approve what she said.' 

Fox News responded to this by pointing out that The Real Story was beat by CNN in the month of June in the all-important 25-54 demographic, and that the show has actually gone up in viewers since Carlson's departure last month.

The network also said that the increase in viewers from last year was the result of the current election cycle, and that all programs are up from 12 months ago.

Furthermore, the network stated that Nielsen Ratings show that Carlson had less viewers than Kelly after taking over her time slot in 2013 while Fox & Friends increased its viewership when Elizabeth Hasselbeck took over for Carlson. 

Shooting star: Carlson was crowned Miss America in 1989 (above) during the annual event in Atlantic City, New Jersey

Memories: Carlson posted a photo on Instagram of her trip to Disney (above) after winning the Miss America crown

Carlson posted on Facebook Wednesday morning: 'As you may have heard, I am no longer with Fox News. I value your support and friendship, especially now, so please stay in touch with me.' 

Carlson claims in her complaint that Ailes called her a 'man hater' and accused her of wanting to 'show up the boys' when she complained about what she alleges was diminishing treatment and 'pervasive sexual harassment' by her Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy. 

Doocy also 'created a hostile work environment by regularly treating her in a sexist and condescending way, including by putting his hand on her and pulling down her arm to shush her during a live telecast,' claims the complaint. 

These complaints about Doocy are why she was fired from the marquee show in 2013 and placed as the host of her own afternoon show, claims Carlson in her complaint.

Carlson, 50, alleges that her compensation was decreased at this time as well by the network. 

The spot was open at the time because Ailes had made the decision to move Megyn Kelly from that afternoon slot to the 9pm hour, following the network's highest rated program, The O'Reilly Factor.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck was then brought on to join Doocy and Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends.  

'We believe that the evidence will confirm that Gretchen was fired from Fox & Friends for speaking up about demeaning and discriminatory behavior on and off the set,' said Nancy Erika Smith of Smith Mullin PC, who is representing Carlson.

Carlson also included a list of comments she claims Ailes made to her at the workplace in her complaint.

'Ogling Carlson in his office and asking her to turn around so he could view her posterior,' reads one grievance in the complaint.

In another instance Carlson alleges in her complaint that Ailes asked her how she felt about him before stating: 'Do you understand what I'm saying to you?' 

Carlson also claims in her complaint that Ailes once told people at an event that he likes to stay seated when women greet him so they have to 'bend over' to say hello. 

The Fox News CEO also called Carlson 'sexy' but 'too much hard work' and said he had 'slept' with three former Miss Americas but never her according to the complaint.

Carlson was crowned Miss America in 1989. 

Gabriel Sherman wrote in his unauthorized biography of Ailes that he once said of Carlson's win: 'It must not have been a good year.' 

Carlson states in her complaint that Ailes also denied her 'various opportunities that were afforded to other Fox News hosts.' 

These include: 'reducing her compensation'; 'severely curtailing her appearances as a guest commentator'; blocking her from appearing as a substitute host'; 'refusing to assign her to cover high-visibility events'; 'refusing to give her social media, public relations, and advertising support'; 'shunning, ostracizing and humiliating her, both publicly and privately'' and then ultimately 'decreeing that her contract not be renewed,' claims the complaint. 

Carlson is requesting compensation for her mental anguish and punitive damages in her suit, and asking for a jury trial.

'By and through his creation of a discriminator, hostile and harassing work environment, his demands for sexual favors, and his retaliation against Carlson for her objections to discrimination and retaliation, Ailes has violated the New York City Human Rights Law,' reads the complaint, which was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey.

Carlson lives in Connecticut and Fox News headquarters are in Manhattan, but Ailes lives in Cresskill, New Jersey. 

Carlson said in a statement on Wednesday: 'I have strived to empower women and girls throughout my entire career.

'Although this was a difficult step to take, I had to stand up for myself and speak out for all women and the next generation of women in the workplace. 

'I am extremely proud of my accomplishments at Fox News and for keeping our loyal viewers engaged and informed on events and news topics of the day.' 

Relationship: Ailes has been married to Elizabeth Tilson (above in January 2015) since 1998 and the couple has one child

Love of her life: Carlson is married to baseball agent Casey Close (above in 2010) and the couple have two children

Ailes, 76, was named CEO of Fox News in 1996, and in 2005 Rupert Murdoch named him Chairman of the Fox Television Stations Group. He has been married to Elizabeth Tilson since 1998 and the couple has one child.

He allegedly stated that marriage was 'boring,' 'hard,' and 'not much fun' according to claims made by Carlson in her complaint. 

Carlson meanwhile is married to baseball agent Casey Close and the couple have two children.

Close has represented some of the biggest stars in baseball, most notably Derek Jeter, who he worked with during his entire professional career. 

Carlson joined Fox News in 2006 after six years working for CBS, and spent seven years on Fox & Friends.

She began hosting her own afternoon program in September of 2013, where she remained until being fired last month.

In 2015 she released a memoir, Getting Real, detailing her early struggles and career as a journalist.  

In that book she wrote about first meeting Ailes, and the excitement she felt at the time joining the network. 

'He saw something in me that he liked – what he called my “killer instinct.” He once noted that I would stop at nothing to do the job. He got me,' wrote Carlson. 

'Over the years I’ve come to value our time together. He encourages me to be myself, to relax and to not try so hard to look smart. “People know you’re smart,” he says. 

'He was also the first person to urge me to talk about being Miss America. CBS had taken the reference off my resume and I had come to see it – unfortunately – as not especially good for my credibility. 

'Roger insisted people wanted to hear about Miss America from time to time, and that was certainly a pleasant shock.'

That book was released three months before the alleged conversation between Ailes and Carlson that she details in her complaint.

Carlson also revealed in an interview on her former Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade's radio show in 2013 that she was not allowed to wear pants while hosting the popular morning program.

After walking into the room to sit down for the interview the first thing Carlson said was: 'Nobody's going to recognize me because not only am I dressed casually, I have on pants! Now, pants were not allowed on Fox & Friends, remember?'

Her comment came one year after Kilmeade joked about the Fox News hiring process on his show by saying: 'It was actually - we go to the Victoria's Secret catalog and we said, 'Can any of these people talk?' And they all could and they all went to college.' 

Kilmeade also once caused Carlson to storm off the set of Fox & Friends when he said: 'Women are everywhere. We're letting them play golf and tennis now.'

He later claimed he was only joking, and Carlson, who was met with boos as she walked away, was laughing as she told him while she left: 'You know what? You read the headlines, since men are so great. Go ahead.'

Kilmeade later said on the program after Carlson returned that he is 'pretty much not sexist.'  

Replacements: Elizabeth Hasselbeck (left in June 2015) took over for Carlson on Fox & Friends and Kimberly Guilfoyle (right in April) has been doing The Real Story

Allegation: Carlson also accuses her former Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy (above in 2013 with Brian Kilmeade on right) of 'pervasive sexual harassment' in her complaint

Carlson wrote about her past experiences with sexual harassment in a piece for Huffington Post last June, just three months before her alleged conversation with Ailes. 

'Most professional women I know have experienced sexual harassment. So have I - a few times - and I never talked about it until now. If that seems surprising, it shouldn't be, writes Carlson at the beginning of her essay. 

'I've always considered myself a strong woman, not afraid to stand up for myself, but in the face of sexual harassment I was silent. As the issue takes a prominent place in the headlines today, I sometimes feel guilty about my trepidation. 

'Perhaps I could have moved the conversation forward if I had come forth.'

She then went on to detail three instances in which she was allegedly harassed by a male early in her career.

Carlson then wrote: 'To be honest, if a young professional woman were to ask my advice about what to do if she were sexually harassed, I might hesitate. It's well and good to say, 'Expose the harassers,' but even with laws and HR departments, we're unfortunately not at a place where we can say absolutely that a woman who is harassed will be protected from repercussions if she tells. 

'Those repercussions aren't just the obvious trauma of being publicly involved in a scandal. They can be more insidious — an aura of doubt about her reliability, her stability and her toughness that could have an impact on her career growth. 

'No wonder most women just prefer to move on and not tell.'

Kimberly Guilfoyle hosted Carlson's show, The Real Story, on Tuesday on Fox News.
