Gretchen Carlson files sexual harassment lawsuit against Fox News CEO Roger Ailes

[Lakhota]

One of Fox News Channel's top anchors has filed a lawsuit against her former boss, Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, alleging wrongful termination and sexual harassment.

The news came in a bombshell email sent to reporters on Wednesday afternoon by the law firm representing Carlson, the host of “The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson” and former co-host of the morning show "Fox & Friends."

According to the lawyers at Smith Mullin P.C., who are representing Carlson, her contract was terminated on June 23. Fox News did not publicly announce the contract termination, and Carlson said on her Twitter account at the time that she was on “on vacation”.

"I have strived to empower women and girls throughout my entire career,” Carlson said in a statement. “Although this was a difficult step to take, I had to stand up for myself and speak out for all women and the next generation of women in the workplace. I am extremely proud of my accomplishments at Fox News and for keeping our loyal viewers engaged and informed on events and news topics of the day.”

POLITICO has reached out to Fox News for comment, and will update this story when we hear more.

Sexual harassment? Shame on Roger Ailes.

Not surprised if this is true. The majority of the female anchors and female pundits look and dress like cheap cocktail bar singers. They are sending the wrong message. Granted, a woman's attire should not be an excuse for a man to make sexual advances, but....

I mean, what the fuck is Megan Kelly wearing here in this shot from last night's show? If that ain't a "come fuck me" dress I don't know what is.

So anyone that disagrees with you should be sexually harassed? Ah, gotcha.

I have no idea about sexual molestation and actually I could care less.

All I know is that she has a dumbass position on the right to keep and bear arms so good riddance.

Speaking of sexual molestation how is ole Slick Willy doing nowadays?

Yep...

Something like this has been a long time coming, due to the inherent sexist nature of the corporate environment of FOXNEWS.

Boy, oh boy! This is just the beginning of revelations in the sordid affair that is FOXNEWS.

Why do you hate women?

Oh I don't hate women I just see no need to get bent out of shape about something that I have no control over.

The ONLY reason you posted this is because its FOX news. If it has been any of the left leaning news agencies, all the rest of them, you wouldn't have posted a damned thing.

Grow up.
