In a later statement, a Fox News spokesperson denied the claim that it knew of the claims by Eckhart before June 25. It follows the story of how some of Fox's female personalities, including Carlson and Kelly, set out to expose the network's hostile work environment of sexual harassment and how Ailes allowed it to thrive. The defendants have a month to respond to the complaint. The allegation follows Henry's firing on July 1, which the networks chief executive, Suzanne Scott, and its president, Jay Wallace, emailed employees to say was based on investigative findings after a complaint from a former employees attorney; the suit alleges the network was aware of sexual misconduct by Henry in early 2017, but in a statement to Forbes, Fox News denies there were any claims prior to Eckharts on June 25, 2020.

Unfortunately, it is actually worse, the suit says.

As NPR's David Folkenflik reported earlier this month, Henry was promoted despite one of his colleagues having warned senior executives that reinstating him could damage Fox's efforts at reforming its workplace culture.

The lawsuit said that Fox knew that Henry who took a four-month leave of absence in 2016 following published reports of his affair with a Las Vegas cocktail waitress had engaged in sexual misconduct as far back as 2017. The other plaintiff, Cathy Areu, who was a regular guest on several Fox News programs, accuses Henry of sending her a slew of wildly inappropriate sexual images and messages, and accuses hosts Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Howard Kurtz and contributor Gianno Caldwell of sexual harassment. The lawsuit names as defendants Paramount Pictures, director and co-producer Mike Nichols, screenplay author Jeffrey Abrams and others.

Fox says it takes all claims of harassment and misconduct seriously. This is not one of those cases, Foti said in a statement. Based on the findings of a comprehensive independent investigation conducted by an outside law firm, including interviews with numerous eyewitnesses, we have determined that all of Cathy Areus claims against Fox News, including its management as well as its hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity & Howard Kurtz and its contributor Gianno Caldwell, are false, patently frivolous and utterly devoid of any merit, Fox News said in a statement.
