21st Century Fox Anticipates Settlements in Roger Ailes Harassment Probe - double digits now

[womanofthehills]

The number of women who have come forward in the investigation to say they were victims of Mr. Ailes reaches into the double-digits, people familiar with the matter said.

21st Century Fox is anticipating having to reach settlements with some of those accusers, the people said.

Still, more women have been coming forward. New York Magazine, for example, reported that in 2011, former Fox News employee Laurie Luhn received a settlement of $3.15 million after making a complaint of sexual harassment against Mr. Ailes. She told the Paul, Weiss investigators that she had been harassed by the executive for more than 20 years, according to the article. Mr. Ailes has denied the allegations. His lawyer Susan Estrich didn’t respond to requests for comment.

1. How many more need to come forward before it's a class-action lawsuit ...

You could argue that Ailes, through FOX news, has been harassing women since it's inception.

2. This should be Ailes burden but if FOX was aware of the harassment then they should be held

Responsible also. It is time for this to be ended.

3. There are audio tapes! I hope they get wiki-leaked!

4. They should both be sued
