“Nobody wants to see anybody have any bad experiences,” said Bartiromo of the allegations, during an interview with Variety. “It’s just not in keeping with what I know, and my experience at Fox.”
Bartiromo is the latest in a number of prominent female Fox anchors and contributors who have spoken in the days since the charges became public. Greta Van Susteren and Jeanine Pirro have also made statements to media outlets defending Ailes. Megyn Kelly, who has rocketed to fame on Fox News in the past few years, has yet to offer public remarks.
Bartiromo, who has over the years developed a reputation for being able to ask tough financial questions of senior business executives, said she has not had a chance to speak to Ailes since the charges were made, and has been focused each day on putting her shows together.
True to her business-news background, Bartiromo sent over a five-day chart of the stock performance of 21st Century Fox reflecting its performance since Carlson’s allegations became known. The company’s stock price, she noted, has been up.
