Fox News announced Wednesday that it has launched an internal review based on former host Gretchen Carlson’s sexual discrimination lawsuit against the network’s chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, who denounced the accusations as “false” and “without merit.”
“The Company has seen the allegations against Mr. Ailes and Mr. Doocy,” Fox said in a statement, referring to Fox News on-air personality Steve Doocy, who is mentioned in Carlson’s suit but not named as a defendant.
