OMG reveals Fox exec bragging about exploiting expense account for strip clubs

FOX Weather said in a statement following the O'Keefe Media Group report, "Jason Hermes has been terminated. The comments he made during a personal outing grossly misrepresented his position at FOX Weather and within the larger company. Expense reports are subject to a sophisticated review and auditing process, and his wildly bizarre claims were immediately investigated, which we are in the process of finishing. We have found no evidence whatsoever that they are true."

Original story follows

A Fox executive was seen bragging on undercover video about how corporate credit cards were used to cover large strip club expenses that were later approved through expense reports.

In the video released by O’Keefe Media Group, Jason Hermes, vice president of content sales and partnerships for FOX Weather, under Fox News Media, is seen discussing the use of corporate cards for strip clubs. Some bills were as high as $4,000 on a weekday afternoon, with executives getting the expenses approved by saying, “That’s what the client wanted.”

“I’ll be honest, we used to be able to go to strip clubs,” Hermes said in the footage. “On Fox, on NBC, with the corporate [card].”

He then displayed what appeared to be a corporate credit card, claiming large charges could be made without consequences. “With this, you could take this, walk into a strip club, literally, and spend $4,000,” he detailed, explaining that “You could put anything on it,” and later tell accountants “well the client wanted it.”

“No one’s gonna say a word,” he bragged, adding that it's like “winning the lottery.”

Hermes argued that because he oversees roughly $90 million worth of business, he would not be held accountable, saying, “no one’s gonna f*cking say a word to me.”

“It’s still like that because it’s media. It’s nobody’s money.”

The Fox executive also commented on politics during the recording, distancing himself from Donald Trump supporters. “I’m not like, a f*cking MAGA red hat, like, assh*le,” he said. “I’m not a Donald Trump supporter.”

O’Keefe Media Group noted a 2015 indictment in a similar case, saying that the man was charged five counts of wire fraud, and said that if Fox was reporting the alleged charges and business expenses, they could be in violation of federal laws.
