A former Fox News employee has filed a lawsuit against the outlet, alleging that she was subjected to sexual and psychological abuse for decades at the hands of former network head Roger Ailes, while claiming inaction from the corporate leadership.
Laura Luhn, 62, started working with Fox in 1996. The lawsuit (pdf) was filed on Wednesday in a state court in New York against Fox News Network, its parent company 21st Century Fox, and former executive Bill Shine. The complaint alleges Ailes to have used his position as the Fox News head to “trap” Laura into a “decades-long cycle of sexual abuse.”
