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.

“Do tell me how many Freepers would turn down 20 mil for a little sexual harassment.”
The ones with strength of character . . . the ones who understand that character is defined as doing the right thing when no one is looking.
Being told by the head of your company that advancement and opportunity would be greater for you if you had a sexual relationship with them is not a little harassment.
The devil is always in the details.
“A little sexual harassment”
Versus the facts of what Ailes was actually doing.
I have read up on it.
Suggest you do the same.
If it’s even a fraction of the specifics alleged against Ailes, you have casually mischaracterized something that was horrifically demeaning and was NOT even a proposition to “sleep with him” as some have assumed, but demands they perform certain specified acts in front of him and on his person, or else.
Sorry to be so “out there” but your post begs for it.
I would think 6 1/2 years. Not worth being sexually harassed or worse. Roger is nasty but he did run a decent network for awhile.
That goes along with being an idiot.
So, are females liberated and independent enough to QUIT at the first sign of being wronged, or DO THEY STAY AT THEIR JOB like the helpless creatures they are for over 10 years and endure sexual harassment? The latter results in HUGE payouts, so THERE'S YOUR ANSWER!
I have seen this at work with my own eyes. One day she's a helpless butterfly waiting for you to open the door for her. The next, she's a strong determined feminist who can do it herself!
Which is it, ladies? Uhh, I mean 'females'?
I had identical scenarios, sheana.
After awhile, I learned most of the dirty tricks that nasty co-workers and crappy bosses would pull to make your life hell, so you’d either quit or you’d do something they could use to justify firing you.
E-mail is a great thing nowadays, especially when you learn how to save it. Because bosses and/or co-workers love abusing people over e-mail and/or ignoring you when you warn of problems down the road that will reflect badly on the department.
Inevitably, crappy bosses will attempt to delete evidence of wrongdoing, and get very surprised when you hand over a CD or a USB stick full of their shenanigans and tell them, “Here is your copy, I’ve got plenty of others.”
The lawyer from my last workplace got me to sign a non-disclosure agreement about my exit, and gave me a little extra cushion in my severance package to cement the deal.
Not anywhere near 6 or 7 figures, mind you, but good enough for me.
Yep on the email. I always had what I called a ‘red file’. In case things caught fire. lol
My son is a Newscorp employee (not Fox news but another branch) and apparently Ailes’ predilections were an open secret.
There are no secrets when the boss is a horn dog and getting nooners. It’s just too obvious and creates a bad workplace environment. I had one boss disappearing with female co-workers all the time, getting back rubs in the office, etc. It was so bad you just had to treat it as a bad joke and wait for the guy to move on.
“And there were too many skeptics here about whether this was all made up. Ailes had a reputation for this before Fox News was ever started.”
Hmmm.... Perhaps where there was smoke, there was some fire after all?? If not, why would they be paying out this kind of money to multiple plaintiffs?
Tantaros also in for a big pay day. She’s accused Ailes of the same thing. Greta announced today she’s leaving Fox. One by one all the conservatives are leaving. She’s being replaced by resident RINO relic and Trump hater Brit Hume. Should have given the job to Bolling, Shannon Bream or Jesse Watters, all conservatives, but the job went to a RINO snob no one likes. Fox’s merge with MSNBC continues. If I were Hannity, Dobbs or Judge Jeanine I’d be getting nervous.
“And there were too many skeptics here about whether this was all made up. Ailes had a reputation for this before Fox News was ever started.”
In the movie industry this would be called the “casting couch”. Not sure if it would be called the same in this case.
“Rupert going all in with his order to destroy Trump by putting anti-Trump Brit Hume in charge of Greta’s show during the election”
I have grown to detest Brit Hume. I absolutely will not watch him.
In the movie industry this would be called the “casting couch”. Not sure if it would be called the same in this case.
Ailes got old and lazy, IMO. If this was his game he could have gotten plenty of consensual action with women based on his fame, power and wealth alone. Seems like there is some deeper psychological issue here with him. He wanted to dominate and control these women.
$20M? Quick, somebody harass me.

You’re right, of course. I wasn’t fully aware of the depravity of the man. I always just assumed it was ‘sexist’ comments. He was a real creep.
Four in the top 8 are homosexuals.
Breitbart has always been run far more professionally than Fox has; Fox was stupid enough to take in liberals as employees, while Breitbart employs far fewer (if they employ any at all). As the fradulent Fox News withers and dies, the honest Breitbart can take its place.
We are about to witness an informed electorate, which we have not witnessed since 1984.
Breitbart needs his own cable news outlet.
In Jail for what, acting like a horn dog?
Fox is stupid of they paid that much in a Settlement.
Did he actually get any from a Subordinate like Bill Clinton or Rape someone like Billy Boy did Broderick??
Did he Drug anyone and Rape them like Bill Cosby?
Please explain what Laws Ailes broke that would require Incarceration, acting stupidly?
