HeadlineJul 07, 2016

Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson has sued Fox News chairman Roger Ailes for sexual harassment. Carlson says Ailes repeatedly made advances toward her, calling her “sexy” and explicitly asking for a sexual relationship during a meeting in his office. She says that when she rejected his advances, he retaliated against her by cutting her salary, curtailing her airtime and then refusing to renew her contract. Ailes has denied the claims.
