Why Doesn't Anyone Believe Scottie Nell Hughes? (former Fox pundit)

The former Fox pundit opens up for the first time about how her dream job turned into a nightmare — and why she won’t quit fighting


Scottie Nell Hughes does not give a damn what you think about her.

To be clear, she probably wouldn’t phrase it like that. Unlike most of the journalists you’ll meet, Hughes does not swear like a sailor. But spending time talking with Hughes — and interviewing some of the people who know her best (on and off the record) — makes it clear that the only opinions that matter to her are those of her husband, her two children and a small circle of friends and family.

-snip-

Hughes knows what you probably do think of her, of course. To liberals she’s that ditzy blonde defending Donald Trump on Fox News and CNN, the younger one who isn’t Kellyanne Conway. To many conservatives, she’s a tea party star who betrayed her own conservative religious values by cheating on her husband to advance her career.

In truth, the 37-year-old Hughes is none of the above. She’s smart, she’s funny, she doesn’t think Democrats are the devil, and, in her telling, every sexual encounter she had with Fox Business anchor Charles Payne was unwanted.

She's trying to capitalize on the anti-sexual harassment movement by inferring that she's kind of a victim too.

But from what I remember of the coverage on this, she and Payne we so open about the affair there were PDAs at a party and his wife even noticed.

I'm not buying it.

It reminds me of the old "Miss Ann" stories of a white woman getting caught with a black guy and then yelling rape.
