TW for sexual harassmentBombshell sexual harassment allegations at Fox News: Longtime host Gretchen Carlson sues Roger Ailes after being firedGretchen Carlson claims the Fox News chief retaliated against her after she rebuffed his repeated sexual harassment“Longtime Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson is making bombshell allegations against the cable news giant, revealing that she is no longer with the network and filing a lawsuit alleging that she was ousted in retaliation for rejecting Fox News head Roger Ailes’ sexual advances.Carlson, who had spent 11 years at Fox News, alleges that Ailes “retaliated against her and derailed her career” when she complained of sexual harassment from the 76-year-old CEO of the network and at least one male colleague at Fox News.In the lawsuit, filed Wednesday in New Jersey’s Superior Court in Bergen County, where Ailes lives, Carlson alleged that Ailes began “ostracizing, marginalizing, and shunning” her when she refused to have a sexual relationship with him and complained of her treatment by Ailes and former “Fox & Friends” co-host Steve Doocy. The eight-page lawsuit alleges that Ailes violated the New York City Human Rights Law.When Carlson met with Ailes to discuss the discriminatory treatment to which she was being subjected, Ailes allegedly stated, “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,” according to the complaint, adding that “sometimes problems are easier to solve” that way.”Read the full piece hereFOX “NEWS”: SEXIST AND EVIL IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS, SEXIST AND EVIL BEHIND THE CAMERAS. -- source link
