Former Fox News contributor Jedediah Bila apparently saw something like this coming:
Wow. Not surprised. https://t.co/R6ljCdFyD1

Now a co-host on “The View,” Bila isn’t exactly shy when it comes to criticizing FNC:
‘I Wasn’t Given a Pants Option’: Jedediah Bila Tells All About Days As Fox News Contributor https://t.co/ZkoDknrpvD (VIDEO) pic.twitter.com/kptYpmOC5I

More from Mediaite:
“We get wardrobes, but it’s different than here. We used to go into a room and there were a bunch of dresses you could choose from. I was told at one point I wasn’t allowed to wear orange because Roger didn’t like the color orange, so I didn’t wear orange,” revealed the former Fox regular. “I didn’t see any pants. People always say, ‘Why didn’t you wear pants?’ You’ll notice I wear pants a lot here. I didn’t wear pants because I didn’t see a pants option. I wasn’t given a pants option so I had to wear skirts.”
She moved on to discussing the allegations lobbed by Julie Roginsky against Ailes and Shine just yesterday.
“I worked with Julie. She’s good people. I looked at that and I said, ‘Wow, they have a problem if they have good people with good reputations coming out now and saying these things. I’ve known her. I’ve worked with her,” defended Bila.
Did you encounter any problems at Fox? Not that you’d tweet it. Hope not.

She did send out a few other FNC-related tweets today:
I was told repeatedly that pants weren't an option. Had a hard enough time sneaking in opaque tights! https://t.co/lUhi3Vc5Zx
