Jill Rhodes’ Ex-Husband, Sean Hannity

Sean Patrick Hannity was born on 30 December 1961, in New York State, USA, to Hugh Hannity and his wife Lillian. Of Irish ancestry, Sean grew up in Franklin Square on Long Island, with his two sisters, being raised by a World War II veteran father and a stenographer mother.

He attended Sacred Heart Seminary in Hempstead, New York, and later St. Pius X Preparatory Seminary in Uniondale, New York. After high school, he enrolled at New York University, however, he dropped out before ever reaching a degree. He tried one more time at Adelphi University, but still couldn’t finish his studies.

Career before Radio

Sean began a house-painting agency in the early ‘80s, but after a few years he gave up, and started working as a building contractor in Santa Barbara, California. His first job on the radio happened in the late ‘80s, when he was a volunteer at a college station at University of California, Santa Barbara, KCSB-FM. Unfortunately, this ended quite badly for Sean, since the show aired only for 40 hours before it was canceled due to controversial comments he made about the LGBT community.

Radio Career

Despite the fiasco, he started seeking a job on the radio, presenting himself as the most talked-about college radio host in America. He was hired by the WVNN radio station, based in Athens, Alabama, a part of the Huntsville media and marked as their new afternoon talk show host. Achieving success as a conservative political commentator moved him further, as he joined WGST in Atlanta in 1992, assuming the position previously held by Neal Boortz who switched stations to take a job at WSB, which is WGST’s counterpart. Five years later, Sean joined WABC in New York, and since then has become one of the most successful if controversial radio talk-show hosts and commentators. He stayed at WABC until 2013, and from 2014 onwards, he could be heard on WOR.

Television Career

Back in 1996, the co-founder of Fox News Roger Ailes, hired Sean as the host of the newly-created show “Hannity and LTBD” (liberal to be determined), and joined by Alan Colmes, the show became known as “Hannity & Colmes”. This lasted until 2008 when Colmes left the show, and the name of the show became “Hannity”. In addition Sean is also the host of the Sunday night television show “Hannity’s America”, which started airing in 2007. Furthermore, he has contributed to several other shows on Fox News, including “Fox and Friends”, “The Ingraham Angle”, and “Fox Files”, among others.

Controversies, Sexual Harassment Allegations

Throughout his career, Sean’s conservative take on things has created controversial statements that have actually only increased his popularity, or at least following. His take on LGBT, then the negation of the scientific evidence of climate change, and promotion of several conspiracy theories involving Hilary Clinton and the Democratic Party, made him adored by Republicans and the far right.

He has become so close with former President Donald Trump that he bought a house within walking distance from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

When the entire Fox News sexual harassment case broke out, Sean supported Roger Ailes and stated that he considers Roger as his second father. However, Sean also came under scrutiny in 2013, and since then has been fighting against the various comments. For now, he remains at Fox News as one of the most successful talk-show hosts.
