CNBC anchor Kelly Evans was described as a “fox” at a New York panel discussing the career of former Stratton Oakmont CEO Jordan Belfort, reports Julia LaRoche of Business Insider.
LaRoche writes, “Then, he introduced CNBC anchor Kelly Evans. It was awkward.
“He said something along the lines of ‘We need a fox on this panel of wolves.’
“There was some laughter and some boos from the audience.
“‘Sexissssst huh-huh-huh,’ the guy in the suit next to me said.
“‘It’s not easy for anyone to be associated with the word ‘fox’,’ Seidemann went on rambling something about Fox News.
“Evans, 29, is the star anchor at CNBC. She’s incredibly smart and commands the respect of the biggest names on the Street with her coverage of economics and the financial markets.
“We reached out to Seidemann this morning for comment about his introduction of Evans. He didn’t not respond at the time of publication.”
