Fox News settles sexual harassment case
Print Edition
FOX News said it settled a sexual harassment lawsuit by former news host Gretchen Carlson against cable channel boss Roger Ailes for a reported US$20 million, and apologized for her treatment on the job.
A statement offered no details on the settlement, but the magazine Vanity Fair, citing sources, said Fox would pay the multi-million-dollar sum to the journalist and former Miss America.
A statement by the parent firm 21st Century Fox said, “We sincerely regret and apologize for the fact that Gretchen was not treated with the respect and dignity that she and all of our colleagues deserve.”
The lawsuit led to the resignation of the politically powerful Ailes, a confidante of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch who helped build Fox into a leader in cable news.
In the statement, Carlson said she was “gratified” with the settlement and added, “I’m ready to move on to the next chapter of my life in which I will redouble my efforts to empower women in the workplace.”
Ailes had denied allegations he had sought to pressure Carlson into a sexual relationship, but the lawsuit led to other women coming forward to support Carlson’s allegations of a hostile work environment.
