Fox News Reassigns Jesse's Girl Over Affair


Fox News has acknowledged that it reassigned a 25-year-old associate producer on Watters’ World after she became romantically involved with host Jesse Watters, a Philadelphia native and a rising star at the network.

Emma DiGiovine, an associate producer on Watters’ World, was transferred to The Ingraham Angle in November after Watters, 39, notified the network’s human resources department about their relationship.

“Within 24 hours of Jesse Watters voluntarily reporting to the Chief of Human Resources in November 2017 that he was in a consensual relationship with a woman on his staff, management met with both parties and a decision was made for the woman to be transferred to work on another program on the network where she currently remains,” a Fox News spokeswoman said in a statement. The network took no action against Watters following his report of the relationship.

According to philly.com, Watters’ wife, Noelle Watters, filed for divorce in October. Watters informed Fox News of his relationship with DiGiovine shortly after the papers were filed. The couple has twin girls.

Watters has become one of the most prominent voices on Fox News. In addition to hosting Watters’ World weekly, he took over co-hosting duties on The Five in April.
