Adult women do not have any agency according to many here.

I love how you guys try to coopt arguments without understanding the terms.

This guy disabled her car and then offered her a ride. She had agency to say yes or no to a ride, certainly. But do you think she would have made the same decision if she had all the facts? If she knew he let the air out of her tires would she have seen the offer of a ride home as a kind move from a coworker, or the beginning of a movie about a serial killer?

She was not a kid. But she was his subordinate at work and his chosen target. And you deciding that you don't have to address illegal and predatory behavior because one poster used the word kid colloquially instead of clinically is a very obvious PR smokescreen.

Very well said. I choose not to excuse workplace sexual harassment of interns by their superiors simply because the interns have reached the age of majority — and that’s not even taking into account his disabling her car to make her extra vulnerable. I hope he at least had the shred of decency to fix her flat tire(s).

Agree. Whether this story is true or not, she willingly engaged in an affair with a married man and her boss. He wasn’t that high up in Fox or important to have any type of power over her and make or break her career. One car ride did not victimize her or force her into an unwanted relationship. He left his wife for her,

Spin spin spin. At this time he was a multi-millionaire star of The Five, the most popular show on cable news. He's also bff with top Fox brass, including Murdochs. He absolutely could make or break someone's career at Fox. He's a made man there.

Oh I’m so sure she wanted NOTHING to do with him!!! I bet he coerced her and brainwashed her!!! This poor little girl unwantingly hit on by MULT MILLIONAIRE!

You said “agree,” then wrote the exact opposite of the post you quoted. 🤷🏻‍♀️

How odd that any poster would argue about the intern having agency in a situation where her superior disabled her car in order to get her into his. If he felt confident about asking her out, why did he need to disable her car? He did that specifically to limit her agency.

To trap her. And to prey on her away from colleagues.

But Jesse Watters was married, with kids, and nearly freaking 40 years old when he did this at a corporate office.

And the woman is 14 yrs younger. Gross.

Way to re-victimize your ex wife and the children you have with her, you dirtbag.

This post is so weird. He was joking. He didn't do this. He was married when he started dating the producer/intern, whatever she was. It's not like she didn't know he had a wife and kids. She's not a victim.

The married Fox host was lusting after a kid in the office, so he decided to demobilize the kid's car so he could prey on her in the parking lot away from other colleagues. So charming, I am sure Fox lawyers, the News Corp board, and his ex wife loved hearing about this.

A kid? Was she underage? I’m curious.

Yes, a kid. No, she was not underage. Who do you think she was most likely to call for car trouble? Her dad. Why? Because she's a broke and single New Jersey kid working in Midtown Manhattan. It's also very likely she was still living with her parents in NJ. In this context, she's a kid who was preyed on by a much older married man at work.

Preyed give me a break

You seriously don’t find this behavior predatory?

Didn’t he also meet his first wife at work also?

Always figured he was a gross creep. And he really thinks he's hotsh*t too. Dude, you look like Ross from Friends. Ugly dork.

A few years ago the phrase “rape culture” rose to prominence and right wingers predictably understood it to mean whatever garbled definition was offered to them by people like Jesse Watters. Here is a great example of the kind of technique favored by gross men, a stop on a continuum of predatory behavior. No, the PP does not understand this to be predatory.

Honestly I think a lot of people would think drugging a woman’s drink with rohypnol is a fair tactic.

It's pretty disturbing to see the people here describing letting the air out of her tires as "hitting on her" and talking about her "agency" as if she consented to having the air let out of her tires without her knowledge.

God what vile and disgusting behavior.

+1. And if she turned down his ride, this psychopath would have left her alone in a dark Manhattan parking garage. Waiting for some creepy tow truck driver to come out, endangering her life and costing her several hundred dollars.

Letting the air out of someone's tires is PSYCHO. That would freak me the f*ck out. I would have got a restraining order, not gone on a date with him. The fact he was married would have been a non-starter w/ or w/out the tire situation.

What a creep.

She didn't know he did it. She thought he just happened to show up in her time of need and drove an hour out of his way to get her home.

I would feel so violated and be so upset if I found out about this later. It would seriously tell me I was dealing with a psychopath and I'd wonder what else he was hiding...well an affair from his wife at the time!!
