Irony abounds. The Fox & Friends hostess and critic of political correctness sues Fox News honcho Roger Ailes. A prime offender- the show's Steve Doocy.
Ex-Fox News Host Gretchen Carlson Sues Roger Ailes For Sexual Harassment
The lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey in Bergen County, where Ailes lives. The Fox News chairman is the only person named in the suit.
According to the civil complaint, Ailes began "ostracizing, marginalizing, and shunning" Carlson when she refused to have a sexual relationship with him. When Carlson met with Ailes to discuss her treatment in September 2015, he told her, "I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago," and said "sometimes problems are easier to solve" that way, the complaint alleged.
As a "Fox & Friends" co-host in 2009, Carlson reported co-host Steve Doocy to her supervisor for fostering a hostile work environment by engaging in a pattern of "severe and pervasive sexual harassment" of Carlson, the complaint said.
When he learned of Carlson's complaints about Doocy, Ailes slammed her as a "man hater" and advised her to learn how to "get along with the boys."
Nine months later, Carlson confirmed online that she is was no longer employed by Fox.
