Fox News host Jesse Watters of “The Five” has come under fire from feminists after he suggested that some women journalists will trade sex for news stories in response to the backlash against Clint Eastwood’s “Richard Jewell.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter (THR), the controversy erupted on Wednesday when Watters said that women journalists sleep with sources “all the time.” His comments were in reference to the outrage directed at “Richard Jewell” for portraying Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) reporter Kathy Scruggs as a callous schemer trading sex with an FBI agent for a scoop, which AJC has condemned as “false and malicious.” Both Warner Bros. and Clint Eastwood have stood by the film’s artistic license.
