AOC Accuses Fox News Host Jesse Watters of Sexual Harassment During Confrontation With a Producer [WATCH]

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused Fox News host Jesse Watters of sexual harassment during a heated confrontation with a producer from “Jesse Watters Primetime,” according to video circulated online this week, as reported by The New York Post.

The exchange occurred in Washington, where Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat who represents parts of the Bronx and Queens, confronted Johnny Belisario, a producer for Watters’ show.

During the encounter, Ocasio-Cortez accused Watters of being a “pervert” and claimed he had repeatedly sexualized her on air.

“He has sexualized and harassed me on his show,” Ocasio-Cortez said to Belisario. “He has sexually harassed me on his show. He has engaged in horrific, sexually exploitative rhetoric.”

Belisario disputed the claim, responding, “That’s not true, Congresswoman.” Ocasio-Cortez rejected that response and cited a specific on-air remark made by Watters in 2024.

“It is true,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “Because he accused me sleeping—of wanting to quote, unquote, sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman? Thank you.”

The congresswoman was referring to comments Watters made last October while appearing on The Five, in which he discussed Ocasio-Cortez and Stephen Miller.

At the time, Ocasio-Cortez had criticized Miller and mocked his height before later revising her remarks.

“I think AOC wants to sleep with Miller,” Watters said during the October broadcast. “I’m sorry you can’t have him. Miller is the best. I know him well socially. The man is not overcompensating.”

Watters continued by praising Miller, calling him “a policy savant” and saying he “battles CNN with grace and with class and provides wise counsel to the President of the United States.” He also claimed Miller was a “sexual matador.”

The confrontation between Ocasio-Cortez and the Fox News producer was captured on video by Pablo Manríquez of Migrant Insider and later shared online by MeidasTouch contributor Acyn Torabi.

After the exchange, Ocasio-Cortez walked away from the producer.

Following the incident, Ocasio-Cortez posted a message on X, writing, “You can either be a pervert or ask me to be on your little show. Not both. Good luck!”

Fox News was contacted for comment regarding the confrontation and Ocasio-Cortez’s accusations.

The dispute follows a broader history of criticism by Ocasio-Cortez toward Miller, particularly over his immigration policies. Last year, she referred to him as a “clown” and incorrectly suggested he was 4’10”.

After facing backlash, she later said, “I don’t believe in body-shaming.”

“I want to express my love for the short king community,” Ocasio-Cortez added at the time, before clarifying that “I am talking about how big or small someone is on the inside.”
