NEW YORK — A suspended Fox Business Network host says he will fight reported charges of sexual harassment “like a lion armed with truth.”

Charles Payne, host of the network’s “Making Money” show, defended himself on Twitter on Friday. The network didn’t say why he was suspended. But the Los Angeles Times, citing two anonymous sources, reported that Payne had been accused of harassment by a female political analyst who appeared on the network.

Payne called the charges an ugly lie that he denies to his core. He said there is a mountain of proof that he’s being falsely accused, in a Twitter post that includes the hashtag fightingback.

A series of harassment claims has shadowed the media giant, including sister network Fox News Channel.

1. It was a three-year consensual affair. She is claiming she was black-balled by FOX when the affair

ended.

I don't see her winning any sexual harassment suit on this. And let me say, I despise FOX at every level and believe in legal action for actual sexual harassment. But this sounds shaky to me.

2. Why did fox blackball her?

Is that SOP after an affair ends? One of the parties is married?

I'm just trying to understand the story.

4. Payne's wife called Bill Shine

Then he pulled Hughes off the air.
