Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson reportedly hasn't been the only target of network CEO Roger Ailes' allegedly inappropriate behavior. CNN spoke to "several women who formerly held on-air jobs at Fox" who claimed to have "stories of their own" about Ailes:

Several of them, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Ailes is well known for making inappropriate comments, and they thought Carlson overreacted by suing.A former Fox host remembered Ailes saying to her, "Walk down the hallway slower, I want to get a look at those legs." But she said she did not consider that to be sexual harassment, and she praised Ailes at length. [CNN]
