Study Finds Jesse Watters Spends More Time Complimenting Stephen Miller Than His Own Wife

NEW YORK — A new media study released Sunday found that Fox News host Jesse Watters has devoted more on-air compliments to Trump adviser Stephen Miller than to his own spouse, a ratio researchers described as “alarming but deeply telling.”

According to the Media Intimacy Lab at Rutgers, Watters has praised Miller’s “dominance,” “confidence,” and “pure alpha energy” thirty-six times in the past month—roughly triple the number of affectionate comments directed toward his wife since 2023.

“There’s clearly a parasocial crush dynamic at play,” said Dr. Elena Hirsch, lead researcher. “He’s projecting unmet emotional needs onto a man who looks like an unbaked breadstick with anger issues.”

Fox News reportedly denied the allegations, calling the study “an attack on masculine solidarity.” Still, producers have quietly begun separating Watters and Miller’s appearances by at least one commercial break “to let the tension breathe.”

When asked for comment, Watters denied the findings, insisting his admiration for Miller is “100 percent heterosexual, patriotic, and policy-based.”

At press time, Watters was seen reviewing footage of Miller “for research purposes,” prompting Fox producers to quietly dim the studio lights.
