Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson lobbed some explosive allegations against network chief Roger Ailes in her sexual harassment lawsuit on Wednesday.
The suit, filed in Bergen County, New Jersey, claims the “Real Story” host refused Ailes’ sexual advances and “as a direct and proximate result” her relationship with Fox News was severed nine months later. According to the filing obtained by TheWrap, Carlson’s employment was terminated on June 23.
Fox News has not yet responded to TheWrap’s request for comment.
Carlson seeks a “trial by jury with respect to all issues that are so triable [sic],” according to the suit, adding that the loss of employment has caused “significant economic, emotional and professional harm.”
