I’d be remiss not to mention Gretchen Carlson. I hailed her for going public ‘Women Complain Fox News Head, Roger Ailes, Has Dick for Brains,’ July 20, 2016.
Indeed, it’s arguable that, if Judd had gone public two decades ago, she would have taken down movie mogul Weinstein the way Carlson took down TV mogul Roger Ailes. Not to mention the courage Carlson gave other women to take down the likes of Bill O’Reilly and Eric Bolling.
In any case, I trust the takeaway from this latest sexual-harassment scandal is that women should go public. Further, that they should be prepared to suffer whatever professional backlash doing so might still entail. After all, if the ‘balance of power’ between Weinstein and each of his accusers who settled was 10 to 1, it was 100 to 1 between Ailes and Carlson.
