21st Century Fox will settle Gretchen Carlson's sexual harassment lawsuit against former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, according to the company.
Vanity Fair reported that sources close to the situation said the media company will pay Carlson $20 million as well as offer a public apology. 21stCentury Fox will also settle two other sexual harassment cases brought against Ailes.
According to a document filed today in the United States District Court District of New Jersey, Gretchen Carlson voluntarily dismissed her case against Roger Ailes with prejudice on Tuesday.

And to think...I didn’t sleep with Roger Ailes for free....boy was I stupid.
Two separate issues.
The Vets should be supported by the US government and the taxpayers, this settlement is coming out of the pockets of News Corps. public shareholders. If you can’t understand the difference with being a publicly-traded corporation and all the extra responsibilities that contains as far as these employee-related behaviors are concerned I can’t help you.
If the public apology is true that pretty much sums up the whole thing right there.
I don’t think she was worth it. She was awful. However, 20M is peanuts for Fox News.
My son is a Newscorp employee (not Fox news but another branch) and apparently Ailes’ predilections were an open secret.
I would allow Ailes to harass me for 20 mil.
She and Greta signed a contract at MSNBC.
Andrea, Gretchen, Maria, Greta, Anna....
Ailes should be in jail. He is a sexual predator.
Based on the available evidence maybe so but since it is only he said she said then under the same criteria why is Bill Clinton still around????
It’s not he said/she said if Fox feels the need to offer a public apology.
This doesn’t settle this quickly unless there are witnesses and hard evidence in the form of recordings.

In the world of TV news, NBC “Today” co-anchor Matt Lauer leads the way, drawing an estimated $22-25 million every year. The highest-paid anchor on ABC News is “ABC World News” anchor Diane Sawyer, who pulls in an estimated $12 million a year, while “CBS Evening News” anchor Scott Pelley leads that network with $5 million a year.
On cable, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly is king, drawing an estimated $17 million a year, while MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow leads her channel with a $7 million a year deal. CNN’s Anderson Cooper tops that channel with an estimated $10 million a year deal.
Other notable names: Megyn Kelly’s new deal is estimated to be worth $6 million a year, twice what Hoda Kotb draws, and more than three times as much as ABC’s Josh Elliott. Ann Curry is still one of the highest-paid reporters at NBC, drawing $5 million a year, while Sarah Palin’s new FNC contract is believed to be in the $250,000 range.
What the hell did Ailes do? Pat her on the butt?
Depended on Ailes stamina and the little blue pills.
Read up on the issue a little, you’re not doing yourself any favors with that comment.
“I would allow Ailes to harass me for 20 mil.”
“Churchill: “Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?”
Socialite: “My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course... “
Churchill: “Would you sleep with me for five pounds?”
Socialite: “Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!”
Churchill: “Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price”
