If you’ve been paying attention to the news today, you would have noticed the bombshell headline that former Fox News host, Gretchen Carlson, has sued FOX Chairman and CEO, Roger Ailes, for sexual harassment. Carlson was terminated on June 23 — the day her contract ended — after an 11- year tenure at the network. Her complaint alleges that she was let go for “rebuffing” Ailes’ sexual advances and for “challenging” the unfair treatment in the newsroom by male colleagues. The case has already created a firestorm on Twitter and the public has begun to weigh in.
The sad thing is, I’m not surprised to hear that female employees of #FoxNews are treated like garbage. #GretchenCarlson

He is beyond gross! Good for you #GretchenCarlson. #RogerAiles is a pig and this hopefully will take him DOWN! https://t.co/F1Z3yjZAse

Jabba-like #RogerAiles, 76, to 25-year younger employee #GretchenCarlson, “I think you and I should have a sexual relationship.” SMOOTH.

Hey, conservative ladies, maybe thank feminists for making it possible for you to sue for sexual harassment today. #GretchenCarlson.

Gretchen Carlson’s always been pure class. She an exemplar and a role model. #GretchenCarlson #FoxNews
