Or something like that: “I’m coming after them … and hell is coming with me”: Roger Ailes’ grieving teenage son lashes put at the women who accused his father of sexual harassment during emotional eulogy."

That old codger has a teenage progeny? Somewhere, somehow, somewhen, all that sexual harassment succeeded? ---

The truly fun part will be his next 4-6 years of growing up, attending college and learning about the real world. Ok, well not really learning anything. He’s the scion of a “great man”. Everything including a career will be handed him on a silver platter. Perhaps Platinum and gem encrusted, because Silver is for ordinary rich people. ---

I have a bunch of friends who lost their fathers in high school, did _not_ inherit $40 million (or even a tiny fraction of that) and they all handled it with dignity and aplomb. ---

> [@AK84](#): > > :rolleyes: > He is 17. And his father has just died. And he blames the women who sued his father for his death instead of hitting his head in a simple fall. He needs to learn that sometimes shit just happens and can be unrelated to any other event in your life. By “shit happens,” of course I’m referring to Ailes falling and hitting his head, not to the sexual harassment suits. He got his just deserts with regard to those. ---

Young and stupid. Do you really think that? I would think if you love your parent, you would be grieving whether or not you inherited a fortune, although I have no idea what relationship this boy had with his father. ---

Lots of people say silly things in grief. If he ever starts to try to actually try to do it, address it then. ---

I’m sure his grief is genuine, but I’m also sure he’ll get over it much more quickly than you or I would. $40,000,000 makes a mighty soft pillow. So, color me cynical. ---

Ailes fell and hit his head. Unless one of these women tripped him, they had nothing to do with it. His father set this kid up for a lifetime of mistreating women. Great. ---

As terrible as it sounds, I agree with this. It may be possible that the rich grieve over a death with just as deep a heartache as the poor, but I have to imagine that having tens of millions of dollars alleviates it in \*some \*way. ---
