People reports that former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson has sued her former employer, Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, for sexual harassment and retaliation after she refused his advances: "She was not invited to big events, she was not allowed to cover breaking news, she was not assigned to very important political events – they actually took her picture down from Fox News Studios. The goal was to lower her profile and then fire her."
Carlson released the following statement to People:
"I have strived to empower women and girls throughout my entire career. 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."
Naturally, Ailes denies the allegations.
