Fox News women consider sharing new misconduct complaints after Murdoch comments: report
Female staffers at Fox News are reportedly considering coming forward with a new wave of sexual misconduct revelations after Fox's owner and acting CEO Rupert Murdoch appeared to dismiss previous allegations involving the network as "nonsense."
Several Fox News staffers told freelance journalist Yashar Ali that they are considering sharing their own stories out of disgust and anger toward Murdoch's comments.
“I have had to put up with a hostile work environment for years, and now I’m told that it doesn’t exist by a man who doesn’t have to walk these halls every day? I’m hungry for justice,” one Fox staffer said.
"Hey Rupert - stop with the lies or we’ll go public with the truth. All of it. Including about the talent and executives you still employ who have harassed us and don’t give a damn about workplace respect - only money,” said another woman who was previously on staff. “How much will it take before you actually start caring about your female employees? Is your 52 billion enough? Are we really going to clean house now?”
The comments from current and former Fox employees come after Murdoch dismissed allegations against former CEO Roger Ailes as "isolated incidents" in an interview with Sky News.
“All nonsense, there was a problem with our chief executive [Ailes], sort of, over the years, isolated incidents. As soon as we investigated it, he was out of the place in hours, well, three or four days. And there’s been nothing else since then," Murdoch said.
