Fox News Names Longtime Roger Ailes Protégé Suzanne Scott as CEO

HeadlineMay 18, 2018

Fox News has named longtime executive Suzanne Scott as CEO. Scott is the first chief executive at the right-wing TV network since Roger Ailes was forced to resign in 2016 amid multiple accusations of sexual harassment. Scott has been cited in lawsuits by at least two former women employees at Fox who say she covered up their complaints of harassment. She also reportedly worked to maintain Roger Ailes’s demand that women at the network wear “skimpy” outfits, with one former Fox News contributor saying, “You’ve got to wear your skirts short and your heels high.”
