Internet labels Jesse Watters 'hypocrite' over his criticism of Fani Willis' affair with junior despite him marrying younger producer

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News personality Jesse Watters announced his marriage on social media in 2020 to Emma DiGiovine, his former associate producer whom he had admitted to having an affair with, back in 2017.

Reports say that Watters posted a photo of himself and DiGiovine from their wedding, which occurred last month, on X/Twitter. In the caption accompanying the picture, the host of 'The Five' affectionately wrote, "I’m Watters and this is my wife #loveyou".

Jesse Watters accused of hypocrisy amid allegations against Fani Willis

This critisim comes in the wake of Watters delving into the allegations against Fani Willis, alleging that she had engaged in unethical behavior by hiring her romantic partner to prosecute the case, as per Fox News.

It was alleged that he further claimed that Willis had compensated her partner with hundreds of thousands of dollars, which he purportedly used to fund extravagant vacations for the two of them, both domestically and internationally.

Additionally, Watters asserted that Willis had failed to disclose the nature of her relationship with her partner to anyone and had not reported any of the gifts she had received from him.

Watters said on Primetime (February 15), "When Fani and her lover, Nathan Wade, were caught, they both lied to the court about when the relationship started, saying they started sleeping together after she hired him, and also claimed Fani paid Wade back for all of the trips, but right as the hearing began, their entire defense blew up when an eyewitness, Fani's longtime friend and employee, testified under oath that she saw Fani and Wade going at it".

Recently, people were quick to spot the hypocrisy, with one writing, "Jesse Watters criticized Fani Willis for having an affair with a subordinate employee. Jesse Watters had an affair with a subordinate employee while he was married with two young daughters. He's also advocated for office romances in the past. RECEIPTS!".

Internet mocks Watters' double standards in criticism of Fani Willis

Social Media users expressed a variety of views and opinions on the matter. Some questioned the integrity of Fani Willis' actions, criticizing her alleged failure to disclose her relationship with her partner and the financial benefits he received.

Others voiced concerns about the potential impact of such conflicts of interest on the fairness and impartiality of the legal proceedings involving Donald Trump.

One person wrote, "Not just an affair he pressured her, slashed her tires".

Another clatified, "@JesseBWatters cheated on his 1st wife with a subordinate employee. Fani Willis had a consensual relationship with a co-worker".

"LOVE HER! Esp when she reminded Merchant that she wasn’t on trial, “they are for trying to steal an election” I can’t wait til she gets trump on the stand", wrote another. 

Another picked an appropriate metaphor, saying, "What is that old saying about stones and glass houses?".

"Gee a hypocrite... What else is new", added one more.

Reportedly, Jesse Watters openly acknowledged his infidelity to his then-wife, Noelle, with associate producer Emma DiGiovine, who was 27 years old at the time and worked on his show, Watters World.

News says Watters and Noelle initially met while working at Fox News and tied the knot in 2009. Together, they have seven-year-old twin daughters.

During the period of his affair, Watters was working on Bill O'Reilly's show, while Noelle was employed in the advertising and promotions department and hosted a web series titled 'iMag Style'.

The word around is that following her maternity leave, Noelle did not return to the network.
