Fox News host: First lady needs to 'drop a few' pounds
Posted by
CNN Political Unit

(CNN) – A Fox News co-host questioned Michelle Obama's weight and eating habits on Tuesday as the first lady advocates for nutrition standards through her "Let's Move" anti-obesity campaign.

"How well could she be eating? She needs to drop a few," Keith Ablow, a psychiatrist and member of Fox's "Medical A-Team," said on "Outnumbered."

The show regularly features four women sitting on a couch with one man in the middle, who's "outnumbered" in conversations about the news.

After the four female co-hosts chided Ablow for his comments, he continued to offer skepticism.

"Well, no, let's be honest. I mean, there's no French fries ever? That's all kale and carrots? I don't buy it," he said.

One co-host, Lisa 'Kennedy' Montgomery, jumped in to defend the first lady.

"I do not like her attitude, but I like her booty," she said.

Sandra Smith, another co-host, tried to drive the discussion back to the topic at hand - some school districts are opting out of federal requirements that mandate better choices for school lunches, saying the requirements are too difficult.

Smith added that some students are simply leaving campus to buy fast food, rather than buy food they don't want to eat at school.

Congressional Republicans have been trying to nix or delay the program.

Ablow jumped in again: "Exactly, but that's what she's doing. She's up at night in the White House kitchen, I'm telling ya."

CNN has reached out to the White House for comment on the host's remarks.

Poor Michelle probably seeking refuge in cakes, pastries, wines, and ice cream as her "husband" strays off w his boyfriends, etc.  I actually feel bad for her on some level.

The poor thing is married to such a pos - one can only feel for her at this point.

I don't know exactly what that man earns, or what his net worth is, but he was a successful psychiatrist, is an author, and now gets paid to give his opinions on TV.  And he's not overweight like the First Lady.  I'd say he is doing pretty well for himself.

she's probably going to be gov of illinois in ten years (or less), if not senator.   And the obamas will be worth 100mil inside of two years.

He made a true statement, on the most trusted name in news network.  The network that gives liberals like you fits.   

He's going to be making bank, like he already has, without the restrictions of public office.  Who cares if she will have a higher net worth than him?  He's not going to be hurting for money.

Pretty dumb to say she "owns" him just because she will be able to make money, or more money than him in the future.  And he is likely healthier than she is and will be so in the future.

Whatever.  You have no clue.  To give you an example, Eric Bolling (conservative on Fox News) is fat.  Bob Beckle (liberal on Fox News) is fat, and probably obese.  Ablow is not. 

And Michelle Obama is unquestionably overweight. 

But based on your comments, it's safe to assume you don't spend much time in the gym or know much about training, body fat, nutrition, etc.  Maybe you should consult with Soul Crusher and Coach.  They can probably help you.   :)

FOX is the network that pwns everyone else, but nobody watches the other networks anyway, but the other networks are the reason obama wins elections.  Correct?

It's like saying McDonalds rules the fast food market, because nobody eats at burger king or wendys anyways, and these other restaurants are destroying the youth of america and mcdonalds is vowing to fix it.  They can't be the biggest and most successful piece of a category they claim to be fighting every day.  They want to be all things at once lol.

Your hypotheticals are always pretty silly.  

there are some people that don't realize FOX exists to offer a right-wing altenative to left-wing news.  They think FOX sits in the middle.  It's hard to discuss anything with them, when they begin in such a place.  It's like arguing with a kid about whether or not santa likes poor kids... the kid cannot accept the truth about santa, so everything built upon it, every debate, is flawed by definition.  

FOX being the 'most trusted' - voted upon by those who watch it.  What does that mean?  It means cnn and msnbc viewers have a more critical eye on what the TV tells them, and those who watch FOX just nod along and agree with everything.   I mean, think of how many repubs COMPLETELY ABANDONED their position on amnesty in 5 minutes, because, well, FOX said so.  THink of how many repubs COMPLETELY ABANDONED their position on impeachment in 5 minutes, because, well, FOX said so.

Most trusting viewers.  That's what FOX has.  They'll abandon positions (like closing the border) they've held for 50 years, in five minutes, because Rush limbaugh, a man who admits carrying water in the past, tells them to.   MOST TRUSTING - not most trusted.  Hope this helps.

There are some people who have their head up Obama's rear end, and swallow whatever the liberal line of the day is, so it's very difficult to have a rational discussion with them.  It's like arguing with someone about whether we faked the moon landing, or whether the United States government shot a missile into the Pentagon on 911, or whether the United States government conspired with foreign terrorists to use holograms to fake two planes flying into the Twin Towers on 911.  Just a pointless discussion.  Those people lack critical thinking skills. 

Fox News didn't tell anyone to abandon their position on amnesty.  But that isn't going to stop you from just flat out lying about it.

Read how Sean Hannity said he "EVOLVED" his position on amnesty.  In 48 hours.  One week after the 2012 defeat to Obama:
http://blog.sfgate.com/nov05election/2012/11/09/latino-power-suddenly-sean-hannity-wants-immigration-reform/

“I think you control the border first. You create a pathway for those people that are here — you don’t say you’ve got to go home. And that is a position that I’ve evolved on. Because, you know what, it’s got to be resolved. The majority of people here, if some people have criminal records you can send them home, but if people are here, law-abiding, participating for years, their kids are born here, you know, first secure the border, pathway to citizenship, done.

Now, if you can agree that Hannity abruptly changed his position, one week after the 2012 election, I can keep moving on to additional FOX hosts who did this in the same time period.  Do you follow so far?  Or is this when you get into your old "Well, maybe a dozen fox HOSTS did a radical change in the same week, but the NETWORK ITSELF doesn't..."   That's like saying maybe a few people in hitler's govt were up to no good during the 1940s, but the trees and gravel and water inside germany, hey, they had nothing to do what that whole WWII thing lol.

Fail.  

Who the heck cares whether Sean Hannity "evolved" on amnesty?  He has an opinion show.  It's not a news show.  Do you know the difference between hard news and opinion programming?  Certainly doesn't sound like it.  And which part of that blog or excerpt shows him advocating for people to abandon their position on amnesty?

And where is the evidence of Republicans in the House and Senate relying on Sean Hannity "evolving" on amnesty?  

So no, don't continue with more crap until you tie up this absolute contortion of the facts.

Stop embarrassing yourself.  If you think that picture shows this guy is fat then you're just cementing the fact you know nothing about training, body fat, and nutrition.

Yes.  He is standing in one and sitting in another.  If you truly see a "fat slob" in that seated picture, then there is nothing I can do to help you. 

Try looking at a number of his pictures and watching him live and you will see (if you're not a hardheaded hack) that the man is not fat.

But the real issue is the First Lady.  You don't think that woman looks like she has had one too many Big Mac attacks?

Wait, so you're saying Ablow is fat, based the picture you posted, and that means he shouldn't be calling anyone else fat?

I guess that means you have a problem with the First Lady spearheading a nutrition and exercise agenda when she is overweight herself?

Sorry to hear about your dad.

You don't see a contradiction in your position?  Using your logic, Ablow should be able to comment about the First Lady being overweight even if we assume, for the sake of discussion, that he is overweight.  It would make him somewhat of a hypocrite, but what would that make the First Lady?

Dr. Ablow is not the one trying to change America's eating habits. He is not the one lecturing America about the importance of eating healthy and exercising. Mrs. Obama is the one doing all of that while stuffing her fat face with ring dings.

In that pic he looks FAT!!!  And despite leaning back his belly is still over his belt.  

Bottom line, he is a hypocrite for saying Michelle is fat even though it is the truth.  Maybe he should drop a few pounds first to show her how it is done.  Could be a bad pic, could be reality.

there are some people that don't realize FOX exists to offer a right-wing altenative to left-wing news.  They think FOX sits in the middle.  It's hard to discuss anything with them, when they begin in such a place.  It's like arguing with a kid about whether or not santa likes poor kids... the kid cannot accept the truth about santa, so everything built upon it, every debate, is flawed by definition.  

FOX being the 'most trusted' - voted upon by those who watch it.  What does that mean?  It means cnn and msnbc viewers have a more critical eye on what the TV tells them, and those who watch FOX just nod along and agree with everything.   I mean, think of how many repubs COMPLETELY ABANDONED their position on amnesty in 5 minutes, because, well, FOX said so.  THink of how many repubs COMPLETELY ABANDONED their position on impeachment in 5 minutes, because, well, FOX said so.

Most trusting viewers.  That's what FOX has.  They'll abandon positions (like closing the border) they've held for 50 years, in five minutes, because Rush limbaugh, a man who admits carrying water in the past, tells them to.   MOST TRUSTING - not most trusted.  Hope this helps.

When did Fox News as a whole tell the GOP to abandon their position on either amnesty or impeachment? Try....NEVER!! People on the network have various opinions. All the GOPers who were for it still are; and that pretty much goes the same for those against it (Cruz, Lee, Scott, Bachmann, Goudy, et al).

There was a coordinated effort - within the same 2 week period following the 2012 election loss.
A large number of republican politicians, reince priebus, and FOX pundits completely reversed their positions on amnesty simultaneously.

Listen to what you just said. You claimed that the GOP suddenly abandoned their position because Rush told them to. Ye,t you cite Rush saying the EXACT OPPOSITE.

Hannity waffled on the deportation aspect. But, he has maintained that the border be secured first. And, he knows that the amnesty bunch aren't going to secure the border. For that reason, he remains a staunch opponent of amnesty.

We know the RINOs and the Dems want amnesty but for different reasons. And each wants the other party to take the hit for the backlash.

If Obama and the Dems were so high on amnesty, they would have passed it in 2009 or 2010, when the GOP couldn't stop them (and a handful in the Senate actually wanted to help them).

He led that charge, because (as he explained) you have to have the people behind you to be successful and the GOP hadn't articulate the grounds for such to the public-at-large. Rush REPEATEDLY stated (citing several pundits) that impeachment takes political will and public support, neither of which the Republicans have.

It's not just Republicans against this. More and more Dems are against this crap, including black leaders who've excoriated Obama, citing that amnesty will cost black people their jobs.

Rush's ire at the GOP is that the politicans aren't listening to the people and the voters; they're beholden to the Chamber of Commerce and their business cronies who want cheap labor. The GOP doesn't need the Latino vote to win; they won multiple elections with barely a third of the Latino vote. Amnesty didn't help Bush 41 with the Hispanics nearly 30 years ago and it won't help the GOP now. Bush 43 got 40% of the Latino vote and barely won in 2004.

I completely agree that amnesty is a horrible thing.   a young policeman was shot in the face by a convicted felon, illegal alien.  Why he wasn't deported upon his arrest/completion of time served, I have no idea.

Dude was beating up his woman in a pizza joint.  Cop asked him for ID, so he shot cop in the face.  Died in a shootout with other police seconds later.  Just at the drop of a hat, murder spree.  unreal.   Unreal that so many people want to let illegals stay. 

You're probably right about the cheap labor thing.

Funny thread.   :)

‘I own you’: Prominent psychiatrist accused of sexually exploiting patients
By Michael Rezendes GLOBE CORRESPONDENT  FEBRUARY 21, 2019

NEWBURYPORT — A prominent North Shore psychiatrist is facing lawsuits from three female patients who say he lured them into degrading sexual relationships, including beatings, conversations about bondage, and, in one case, getting a tattoo of the doctor’s initials to show his “ownership” of her, according to court documents.

The women allege that Dr. Keith Ablow, an author who was a contributor to Fox News network until 2017, abused his position while treating them for acute depression, leaving them unable to trust authority figures and plagued with feelings of shame and self-recrimination.

“He began to hit me when we engaged in sexual activities,” wrote one plaintiff, a New York woman, in a sworn affidavit filed with her lawsuit. “He would have me on my knees and begin to beat me with his hands on my breasts,” she wrote, “occasionally saying, ‘I own you,’ or ‘You are my slave.’”

The malpractice lawsuits, two of them filed on Thursday in Essex Superior Court and a third filed last year, paint a picture of a therapist who encouraged women to trust and rely on him, then coaxed them into humiliating sexual activities, often during treatment sessions for which they were charged. When the New York woman had trouble paying her therapy bills, she said, Ablow advised her to work as an escort or stripper because the work was lucrative.

Although the women used their real names in their lawsuits, the Globe is withholding their identities at their request. The Globe does not identify alleged victims of sexual abuse without their consent.

However, three women who worked for Ablow agreed to file affidavits, included in the lawsuits, knowing their names might become public. They said in the sworn statements that Ablow sexually harassed them, too. One former staffer, Amy Dixon, said she had sex with Ablow during which he would regularly hit her and that he told her he wanted a “master/slave relationship.”

Ablow’s attorney, A. Bernard Guekguezian, said he had not yet reviewed the two new lawsuits, but said, “Dr. Ablow has been a respected and highly regarded psychiatrist who has for decades helped countless patients. He denies any and all allegations of improper behavior or substandard care in their entirety.”

Ablow had previously denied the allegations in one of the cases, the lawsuit filed last year by a Minnesota woman.

“The plaintiff in this case was the subject of a no-trespassing order by me two years ago, was ordered formally to stop harassing me, and her account is in collections for non-payment,” he said in a statement to the Salem News last July.

Thursday, in a tweet, Ablow said he “categorically, completely” denies the allegations in the lawsuits. “I look forward to the court proceedings and will continue to offer excellent care to any patient who needs my help.”

In all three cases, the women say they relocated from other states, at Ablow’s request, to be closer to his Newburyport office where he used a controversial treatment for depression: infusions of Ketamine. The drug, an anesthetic that can induce a trance-like state and memory loss, is sometimes abused but is also used by some clinicians to treat chronic depression.

Andrea Celenza, a Lexington psychoanalyst who interviewed the women and reviewed their medical records as an expert witness hired by the plaintiffs, said in a letter filed with the lawsuits that Ablow’s behavior in the case of the New York woman “was sadomasochistic, anti-therapeutic, and constitutes a perverse use of his status and power.” The former patient said that, during their seven-year sexual relationship, Ablow persuaded her to get his initials tattooed on her arm.

Another expert said that Ablow appeared to be using Ketamine in conjunction with talk therapy to gain control over a third patient, a woman from Ohio.

“The patient appears to have become very dependent on this medication and dependent on Dr. Ablow to supply it,” wrote Jeffrey Lieberman, chairman of the psychiatry department at Columbia University’s Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, in expert testimony filed with the lawsuits.

Ablow is a prolific writer and commentator. In addition to his work for Fox, he has written numerous self-help books, novels, and works of nonfiction. A graduate of Brown University and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Ablow has taught at Tufts University School of Medicine and once considered running as a Republican for the Senate seat formerly held by John Kerry.

But Ablow, 57, has stirred controversy for combining psychiatric analysis with political views, once saying on Fox News that President Obama had “abandonment issues” and preferred Africa to America, though Ablow had never met him. He also criticized Michelle Obama’s weight on Fox News in 2014, saying, “She needs to drop a few pounds.”

The patient from Ohio said she came with her mother to see Ablow in early 2015, when she was 25, receiving Ketamine infusions from him. When she returned home, she said, Ablow encouraged her to e-mail him or text him daily.

“I had never had a therapist or any professional take such an interest in me,” the woman said in her signed affidavit, adding that Ablow told her to send him even her most trivial thoughts. “At some point, it became normalized and frankly necessary for me to communicate with Dr. Ablow several times a day.”

During therapy sessions conducted over Skype, the Ohio woman said, Ablow would compliment her on her appearance and tell her he missed her. Soon, he raised the topic of sexual preferences and asked his patient whether she preferred to be submissive or dominant.

The woman said the conversation made her uncomfortable. Still, in March of 2015 she traveled to Newburyport again, this time alone.

“I asked Dr. Ablow why he had such a terrifyingly strong effect on me and he told me it was nothing to be afraid of,” the woman said. “It was then that my sexual encounters with Dr. Ablow began.”

The Ohio woman said Ablow soon persuaded her to move to Newburyport. As a further inducement, he allegedly offered discounts for the Ketamine infusions and promised to arrange job interviews.

“He told me he could convince anyone of anything,” she said.

The Ohio woman said Ablow would have her undress and perform oral sex, although he was careful to stop her before climaxing.

“Much later, when I confronted him about this, he informed me that he had a lot to lose and did not want to leave evidence,” the Ohio woman said. The Ohio woman said Ablow asked her to get a tattoo with his initials, but, unlike the New York patient, she declined.

The woman also said Ablow would sometimes beat her as she kneeled.

“Sometimes he would use his hands and other times he would take off the belt he was wearing and use that to strike me,” the woman said. “This belt had a metal buckle with a skull on it.”

By early 2017, the Ohio woman said, she realized she had to stop seeing Ablow “for my own sanity.” Eventually, after she started seeing another therapist, she succeeded in leaving him.

“I decided that I couldn’t allow myself to be groped and used sexually and otherwise, or to feel so emotionally dead inside in exchange for prescriptions, even if I felt like I needed them, so I stopped seeing him,” she said.

The Ohio woman said she still fears Ablow and is plagued by nightmares in which he chases her with a gun, because he discussed guns with her during their therapy sessions.

The former employees said Ablow could be threatening, displaying his handgun or making subtle hints that he would retaliate if they provided anyone with unfavorable information about his practice. Dixon, who said she had a manipulative sexual relationship with Ablow off-and-on for years, said he once pointed his gun directly at her. During sex, Dixon said, Ablow could be so rough that “he often left bruises and abrasions.”

But the Minnesota woman who filed her lawsuit last summer said Ablow could also appear to be kind and generous. She said her sexual relationship with Ablow began after he promised to help her with her fledgling music career and set up a meeting with a friend who Ablow said was in the music business.

Two days after meeting with the music producer, the Minnesota woman wrote in her affidavit, Ablow met her in his office and took her to an adjoining room where they had sexual intercourse.

“I remember that my mind concentrated on a ticking clock in the office to get through it,” she recalled.

In November of 2015, four months after initially contacting Ablow, the Minnesota woman decided to stop seeing him.

“I knew it was no longer healthy for me, but part of me felt very dependent on him and terminating felt terrifying,” she said.

After telling Ablow she wanted to stop seeing him, the woman said, he accused her of refusing to leave his office, which she said never happened. She also said he informed her that he would be notifying his personal attorney and malpractice attorney.

Finally, in September of 2016, he sent her a form he had filled out indicating that she had trespassed on his property.

“This was not issued by any court and there certainly was never any finding by any court that I had ever trespassed on his property,” the woman said.

Ablow, in a legal filing, denied the Minnesota woman’s allegations and demanded a jury trial, accusing her of unspecified negligence. “If the plaintiff proves that he was negligent as alleged, the plaintiff was negligent to a greater degree than this defendant,” the filing says.

But Celenza, in her letter to the women’s attorney, said Ablow’s alleged sexual misconduct with the Minnesota woman amounted to “the most egregious violation” of the American Psychiatric Association’s ethical code.

“These behaviors are grossly unprofessional and unethical,” she said, adding that they “represent the worst and most damaging kind of abuse” in a therapeutic setting.

Clyde D. Bergstresser, the women’s attorney, said he was “very proud to represent these brave and courageous women who have come forward to report the trauma they have suffered. It’s also remarkable and courageous that three former employees of Dr. Ablow have come forward to support these patients.”

The former employees said they harbored misgivings about his treatment of patients, such as the frequency with which he prescribed Ketamine and his tendency to meet with patients outside of normal business hours.

Janna McCarthy, who worked for Ablow from May 2014 to July 2015, said Ablow would ask her to schedule appointments with attractive women who were “sad, lonely” and struggling with past trauma at times when no else would be in the office. “I was concerned that he was engaging in sexual contact with some of these women,” she wrote.

McCarthy said she wrote her affidavit hoping that, “by speaking out now I am able to prevent Dr. Ablow from doing further harm in the future.”
