Roger Ailes’ ‘feminist’ lawyer smears harassment victims as ‘deeply troubled’ liars
In calls to the Daily Beast to attack New York magazines Gabriel Sherman author of the Roger Ailes biography The Loudest Voice in the Room Roger Ailes attorney Susan Estrich called her clients alleged harassment victims deeply troubled fabulists who Sherman is exploiting for his own personal gain.
The Beasts Lloyd Grove reported on the calls he received from Ailes supporters when word got out that he was preparing a profile on Sherman who is currently working on a follow-up to Loudest Voice that deals with the reported culture of sexual harassment and deeply entrenched misogyny at Fox News.
This is Gabe Shermans last stand, and it falls flat, Estrich said. Gabe Sherman has made clear that nothing will stand in the way of his vendetta against Roger Ailes, and he will use any woman he can find no matter how clearly and deeply troubled she is to try to concoct allegations against Mr. Ailes. With no apparent sense of irony, Estrich said, Gabe is running out of women he can use and abuse. Ultimately, it will be clear that the real enemy of women is Gabe Sherman.
After former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment suit against the network and against Ailes in particular, the Fox News head a former Nixon aide and longtime TV impresario hired attorney Susan Estrich. Estrich is known for her feminist bona fides. She is a survivor of sexual assault and is credited with redefining contemporary legal jurisprudence on what constitutes rape, making it easier for sex assault survivors to press charges and have their day in court.
