New York City s Commission on Human Rights Tuesday slapped Fox News with a $1 million fine as part of a settlement of a sexual harassment investigation, marking the highest civil penalty ordered in the commission s history.
The settlement stems from an investigation conducted by the commission in response to a series of high-profile reports alleging a culture of pervasive sexual harassment and retaliation at the network.
High-profile Fox personnel, including the late former network chief Roger Ailes and former anchors Bill O Reilly and Ed Henry, have been accused of sexual misconduct over the years. Ailes, who built the network to a ratings powerhouse and political and cultural influencer, left in 2016 shortly after Gretchen Carlson, a former Fox & Friends co-host, sued him for sexual harassment. He died in 2017.
