Eric Bolling is your typical Fox News host: Bigoted, loudmouthed, and fond of telling lies in order to make a political point. And, like so many male Fox hosts, it turns out he may also be a pervert.
Bolling, who called former Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner a “sick human being” for sending sexual text messages to a girl in 2014, is now accused of sending pictures of his own junk to at least three female co-workers.
The Huffington Post has confirmed that a least a dozen sources at Fox News did indeed see sexually explicit text messages sent by Bolling to two female associates at Fox Business and one at Fox News.
Contacted for comment on the matter, a Fox spokesperson said:
“We were just informed of this and plan to investigate the matter.”
If the allegations against Bolling are true, he would join former Fox chairman Roger Ailes and longtime host Bill O’Reilly on the list of male Fox personnel who have also been accused of sexual harassment. Ailes and O’Reilly were both removed from their jobs when revelations of their actions became public.
Bolling’s attorney, Michael J. Bowe, had this comment on the charges against his client:
“Mr. Bolling recalls no such inappropriate communications, does not believe he sent any such communications, and will vigorously pursue his legal remedies for any false and defamatory accusations that are made.”
So Bolling’s defense is that he doesn’t remember (selective amnesia is a frequent cry in such cases) and to threaten others with defamation. Sounds a lot like Bolling’s political hero, Donald Trump, who has also been accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault over the years.
Using Bolling’s own words, it sounds like he’s also a “sick human being.”
