I'm really not surprised by these Fox escapades.

(19,821 posts)...I have never trusted this woman because during the campaign everything that came from her mouth were lies. I'd like to see a police report that was filed contemporaneously with the assault. If that exists, I support her 100% as rape is a violation of a woman/her body and is violent crime.

(32,543 posts)Of course she's talking figuratively, maybe she got demoted or passed over for a promotion. Who knows?
So how literal is her other allegation against a live human being?
And as you pointed out, why did it take so long for her to say anything?
I'm taking this story with a huge grain of salt. Consider the source.
Normally I wouldn't engage in blaming the victim, but in this case I'm not convinced she is a victim.

(89,237 posts)she is saying it was rape because she felt she had to do it in order to get work. something about this whole thing seems off to me.
i felt the same when it came to the accusation against hannity. the woman who made it had a history of nutty behavior and she backtracked when he threatened to sue.

(1,278 posts)had an affair with Mr. Payne for 3 years. That's interesting, because of the majority of that period, she was in the employ of CNN, which Mr. Payne couldn't help her there, as far as I can tell.
