Harold Ford Jr. Fired by Morgan Stanley Over Inappropriate ‘Conduct’
Harold Ford Jr., a former congressman turned Wall Street rainmaker, was fired by the financial services firm Morgan Stanley in recent days “for conduct inconsistent with our values
and in violation of our policies,” the company said in a statement on Thursday.
“I have never forcibly grabbed any woman or man in my life.” He added
that socializing with members of the press was part of his job, and said that “false claims like this undermine the real silence breakers.”
Mr. Ford served five terms in Congress as a Democrat representing a Tennessee district after first being elected in 1996.
“During that time he won’t be a guest on MSNBC.”
A version of this article appears in print on December 8, 2017, on Page B2 of
the New York edition with the headline: Morgan Stanley Fires Former Lawmaker.
In a statement, Harold Ford Jr firmly denies the allegations
and says he is going to sue the woman who accused him and Morgan Stanley for wrongful termination.
Mr. Ford appears regularly on the MSNBC show “Morning Joe.”
“We are looking into the report about Harold Ford Jr.,” a spokeswoman for MSNBC said.
