Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson sues Roger Ailes for sexual harassment

Gretchen Carlson to Get $20 Million Settlement and Apology From Fox News (Report)

Fox News has agreed to settle Gretchen Carlson’s sexual harassment lawsuit against Roger Ailes for $20 million, according to Vanity Fair.

Vanity Fair cited “three people familiar with the settlement,” and also said that the settlement will come with a public apology. Fox News will offer Carlson the apology to “reinforce their seriousness about creating a new culture in a post-Ailes world,” according to Vanity Fair.

Fox News has also reached a settlement with two other accusers, according to the report.

Wow Here is a crazy update for Fox

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ra...ess-hollywood-tape-harassment-seminars-991267

One employee of 21st Century Fox details a company presentation and expresses shock at seeing the president's infamous Billy Bush conversation: "There was an audible gasp in the room, like, 'Can you believe this is happening?'”
For the past few months, 21st Century Fox has been using the infamous Donald Trump Access Hollywood tape during company seminars to give Fox staffers an example of bad behavior in the workplace — a fact that became especially awkward this week as President Trump defended one of Fox's biggest stars, Bill O'Reilly, who is facing his own harassment scandal.

The seminars — a series of routine workshops at multiple divisions at Fox, the most recent one taking place Tuesday on the studio lot in Los Angeles — are led by a human resources executive with a focus on preventing harassment, discrimination and retaliation in the workplace. One attendee, who wishes to remain anonymous, tells The Hollywood Reporter that toward the end of the 1-hour seminar Tuesday, a photo appeared on the big-screen (seminars are presented inside a movie theater on the lot) featuring Trump, Billy Bush and actress Arianne Zucker from the 2005 Access Hollywood tape. Just before meeting Zucker, Trump bragged to Bush about grabbing women "by the *****" and, in reference to Zucker, said, “I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them.”

You need a video to instruct a bunch of university-educated employees that
throwing the word p***y around in the workplace is harassing and inappropriate?

One word and its dysfunction at Fox News. That's why the president is included in the training video. Although other divisions of Fox are cringing at this once they got the training video.

A woman as Fox News Leader? Fist of all the Murdochs need to prove this is not window dressing here and its real reform here.

It what can only be seen as a major blow to the all boys club AKA Fox News, word is that FNC's parent company is looking for a lady.

THR reports that 21st Century Fox is looking for a new leader of Fox News, "And the preference, according to two sources familiar with the Murdochs’ thinking, is that the new leader be female."

It would be a wise move by the Murdoch's which has been dealing with the Roger Ailes fallout for almost a year. The Ailes culture of sexual misconduct and guys rule has permeated deep into the network and FNC's parent company has been doing all they can to clean it up.

Ailes gone, O'Reilly gone and FNC president Bill Shine might soon be joining them.

THR writes, when Murdoch elevated Shine last fall, the move rankled some at Fox News, especially women, who saw Shine as complicit in the sins of the past. When new payouts to women who complained about O’Reilly came to light April 1, that unease deepened, said one Fox News source. Shine was said to have been a staunch defender of keeping O’Reilly, with whom he worked for two decades. He also appeared to side with O’Reilly last fall when Megyn Kelly complained to Fox News executives about O’Reilly’s public statements admonishing her for speaking out about her personal experiences of sexual harassment at the hands of Ailes. (Ailes has denied all of the allegations against him.)

The idea that the Murdoch's maybe looking for a woman to take over at Fox News is a good one. In less than a week after Bill O'Reilly was sacked, his protege Jesse Watters was making a lewd comment about Ivanka Trump on the air (Watters denies that his comment was lewd).
