Yashar Ali reported Saturday evening thatCaroline Heldman, who appeared on Fox News between 2008 and 2011, accused Bolling of being one of three Fox News/Fox Business employees who sexually harassed her:
I did hundreds of appearances on Fox and Fox Business from 2008 2011, and had multiple experiences with Bolling that caused grave concern to my friends and family. Bolling referred to me as Dr. McHottie on air on four different occasions, and called me smart, beautiful, and wrong on air twice, Heldman wrote in her Facebook post.
My only surprise is that it took this long for people to come forward about Bollings behavior, which has been wildly inappropriate for years, Heldman wrote on Facebook in response to Friday's report that Bolling had sent lewd texts.

these Eric Bolling junk-pic rumors have been an open secret among many at Fox for years. Glad to see @yashar report it out

Kudos @yashar. Ya beat me.

Curious why it took so long. Did the story really need a dozen sources confirming the dude sent dick pics?
