Fox News Settles Another Lawsuit Over Sexual Misconduct – by Susan Wright March 9, 2017
Seriously, it seems there was a running culture of harassment and misogyny at Fox News.
That’s not to say any other cable news network was any better. It’s just that nobody is suing and bringing these things to light.
The big news during 2016 centered around the revelation that then-Fox News CEO, Roger Ailes was forced out of his position after numerous reports (and lawsuits) involving his sexual harassment of female employees.
More than 20 women alleged inappropriate conduct from Ailes.
Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly faced similar charges from some of the women working for the network.
The New York Times is reporting that the latest lawsuit has recently been settled for $2.5 million.
“The contributor, Tamara N. Holder, has said that the network executive tried to force her to perform oral sex on him in February 2015 when the two were alone in his office, according to interviews with four people briefed on her account, and documents that detail her claims. Ms. Holder did not immediately report the episode to the company or the police, fearing that doing so would ruin her career, interviews and documents show.
Ms. Holder reported her allegations to Fox News last fall. The network investigated her claims, and the executive, Francisco Cortes, the vice president for Fox News Latino, was terminated, according to two people familiar with the matter. Ms. Holder left Fox News after her contract expired on January 1, 2017.”
