'I'm coming after them...and hell is coming with me': Roger Ailes' grieving teenage son lashes out at the women who accused his father of sexual harrassment during emotional eulogy

• Zachary Ailes spoke to the 60 or so mourners gathered for the service in Florida
• 'I want all the people who betrayed my father to know that I’m coming after them... and hell is coming with me,' the emotional 17-year-old said on Saturday 
• The 77-year-old died in his Florida home Thursday eight days after falling over 
• Ailes hit his head in the fall, and he was not able to recover while in hospital 

Roger Ailes' emotional teenage son has used his father's eulogy to hit out at women who accused the former Fox News boss of sexual harassment.

Zachary Ailes, 17, spoke to mourners gathered at St Edward Roman Catholic church in Palm Beach, Florida, for the 77-year-old's funeral on Saturday.

'I want all the people who betrayed my father to know that I’m coming after them,' the teenager said, according to conservative news blog LifeZette.

'And hell is coming with me.'  

Laura Ingraham, LifeZette’s editor-in-chief, was one of about 60 people at the service.

It is not clear who the teen is threatening - the women, or the Murdochs who are believed to have ousted Ailes from Fox News and did not appear to attend his funeral, or both.

However New York Magazine reporter Gabriel Sherman, who has extensively covered Ailes over the years, tweeted: 'Scary: During eulogy, Ailes's teenage son threatened Fox women who alleged harassment. "I'm coming after them...and hell is coming with me."'

Ailes died on May 18 in his Florida home. He had fallen badly and hit his head eight days earlier.  

The 17-year-old was seen holding his mother, Elizabeth Tilson's, hand and crying as they left the church together on Saturday.

The allegations against Ailes led to his resignation from Fox News last July. They were first reported by Sherman in his 2014 book on Ailes, but the claims didn't gain traction until 2016, when former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Ailes.

Carlson alleged Ailes cancelled her show when she rebuffed his advances.

Three days later, Sherman published a story including reports from six other women who had similar experiences with Ailes.

Fox News' parent company 21st Century Fox then hired a law firm to independently investigate the claims. 

In that time period, star anchor Megyn Kelly - who has since left to join NBC - even came forward to say she was harassed by Ailes early on in her career at the network.

Ailes received a $40million payout as he left the network. His son is believed to be likely to inherit the fortune left behind.

Others who attended the Florida funeral included: Sean Hannity, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Rush Limbaugh.
