Former Fox News Employee Claims 20 Years of Harassment by Roger Ailes

HeadlineAug 01, 2016

The former head of booking at Fox News says former CEO Roger Ailes sexually harassed her for two decades. Ailes resigned last week amid multiple claims of sexual harassment. Laurie Luhn told New York Magazine that Fox News knew about the harassment and helped cover it up. Luhn said the harassment amounted to psychological torture and “ruined her life.” Luhn called Ailes a “predator” and said her duties included luring young female Fox employees into one-on-one situations with Ailes that she knew could result in harassment.
