Lion Heart 15,041 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Former Fox News presenter Gretchen Carlson has sued her former boss, Roger Ailes, for sexual harassment and wrongful termination. A lawsuit filed in New Jersey Superior Court claims she was fired after refusing his sexual advances. Ms Carlson's contract with the network expired on 23 June and she confirmed she is no longer with Fox on her personal social media accounts. The lawsuit alleges "severe and pervasive" sexual harassment. Fox News has not responded to requests for comment. Ms Carlson was with the conservative-leaning US network for 11 years. She first co-presented the morning programme Fox & Friends before moving to her own show, The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson, in 2013. The lawsuit, obtained by Politico, claims that when she moved to her own show, Mr Ailes "reduced her compensation and withheld network support and promotion" for her show. "I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you'd be good and better and I'd be good and better," Mr Ailes allegedly said. Ms Carlson, who won the Miss America contest in 1989, alleges that Ailes said he had "slept with three former Miss Americas, but not with her". The complaint also alleges that Mr Ailes instructed her to turn around in his office so he could look at her backside and that fellow anchor Steve Doocy "regularly [treated] her in a sexist and condescending way" and regarded her as a "blond female prop". http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36727967 ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
