===After 20th Television and Fox News=== Following Ailes' resignation, [[Andrea Tantaros]] claimed in August 2016 that she approached Fox News executives about Ailes' behavior towards her in 2015. She stated that her allegations resulted first in her being demoted, and then in her being taken off the air in April 2016.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/08/andrea-tantaros-made-harassment-claims-against-roger-ailes.html |title=Fox News Host Andrea Tantaros Says She Was Taken Off the Air After Making Sexual-Harassment Claims Against Roger Ailes|first=Gabriel|last=Sherman |website=[[New York (magazine)|New York]]|date=August 8, 2016 |access-date=August 8, 2016}}</ref> Tantaros filed a lawsuit against Fox News in August 2016 for sexual harassment, also accusing [[Bill O'Reilly (political commentator)|Bill O'Reilly]] and [[Scott Brown (politician)|Scott Brown]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://boston.cbslocal.com/2016/08/23/andrea-tantaros-fox-news-scott-brown-harassment-outnumbered/ |title=Ex-Fox News Host Says Scott Brown Put His Hands On Her, Made Sexually Suggestive Comments|work=[[CBS News]]|date=August 23, 2016 |access-date=August 23, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.politico.com/media/story/2016/08/fox-news-andrea-tantaros-sues-for-sexual-harassment-004733#ixzz4IAd9Ek4o |title=Former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros sues for sexual harassment|work=[[Politico]]|first=Kelsey|last=Sutton|date=August 23, 2016 |access-date=August 23, 2016}}</ref> On August 8, 2016, [[Shelley Ross]], writing for ''[[The Daily Beast]]'', described her encounter of sexual harassment with Ailes in 1981. She claimed that at a lunch meeting Ailes asked her, "When did you first discover you were sexy?" When Ross explained to Ailes that she found the conversation "very embarrassing," he responded that "the best expression of loyalty comes in the form of a sexual alliance."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Ross|first1=Shelly |title=Roger Ailes Sexually Harassed Me.

According to Kelly, when she first joined Fox News, Ailes would have meetings with her, during which he would make sexual remarks. Kelly alleges that he also tried to kiss her several times during a closed-door meeting, but she was able to get away and leave the office. After that incident in 2006, Kelly says that Ailes did not sexually harass her again. Then, in 2016, when Gretchen Carlson first made her sexual abuse allegations, 21st Century Fox pressured Kelly to defend Ailes, which she refused to do.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://people.com/books/megyn-kelly-memoir-9-things-we-learned-about-roger-ailes-alleged-sexual-harassment |title=Megyn Kelly's Shocking Memoir: 9 Things We Learned About Roger Ailes' Alleged Sexual Harassment|date=November 16, 2016|work=[[People Magazine|People]] |first=Brittany|last=King}}</ref> In 2016, after he left Fox News, he became an adviser to [[Donald Trump]]'s [[Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign|presidential campaign]], where he assisted with debate preparation.<ref>{{cite web |first1=Maggie|last1=Haberman|authorlink1=Maggie Haberman|first2=Ashley|last2=Parker |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/17/us/politics/donald-trump-roger-ailes.html |title=Roger Ailes is advising Donald Trump ahead of Presidential election |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=August 16, 2016 |access-date=January 15, 2017}}</ref>
