Fox News personality Gretchen Carlson has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against network CEO Roger Ailes. In the complaint, Carlson alleges that Ailes terminated her employment on June 23, 2016 after she refused to have a sexual relationship with him. According to the lawsuit, when Carlson met with Ailes to discuss the “discriminatory treatment to which she was being subjected,” Ailes told the anchor, “I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you’d be good and better and I’d be good and better.” Carlson declined the offer and, according to the complaint, was fired nine months later.

quote:

Carlson’s suit recounts a long period of harassment by both Ailes and co-workers. According to Carlson, her troubles with the network began in 2009 when she complained about Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy. She alleges that Doocy, “created a hostile work environment by regularly treating her in a sexist and condescending way.”

quote:

Ailes dismissed her complaints about Doocy and, according to the complaint, called her a “man-hater,” and instructed her to “get along with the boys.” Carlson alleges that Ailes then began retailing against her by reducing her appearances across the network. In 2013, Carlson was fired from Fox & Friends and reassigned to anchor The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson. She says that her pay was substantially reduced while her workload was increased.

quote:

In addition, Carlson alleges that Ailes made numerous comments about her body and her clothing, including asking her to “turn around so he could view her posterior.” Carlson’s complaint accuses Ailes of creating a hostile work environment where sexual favors were demanded and, when denied, retaliation was commonplace. She is asking for compensatory damages, including loss of salary and damages to reputation, as well as punitive damages.


O'Reilly already settled with the woman he was sexually harassing a few years ago. Is Fox News OOC?

CNN probably has to do this all the time for Anderson and Don Lemon. But they are hitting on male employees

She complained about Steve Doocy but Roger Ailes didn't do anything about it. Ailes is the boss so I don't know who she would complain to about him other than filing a lawsuit.

Also probably pretty difficult to get another job in her chosen field if she just ups and leaves. Not to mention, if what she says about Ailes is true, I'm sure he'd shite talk her to everyone.

So, she took the pay cut, the lower visibility job, didn't make any waves and then he fired her. Suing him is her only option.
