Eleven current and former Fox News employees filed a class-action lawsuit in New York against the network, accusing it of “abhorrent, intolerable, unlawful and hostile racial discrimination.”

The lawsuit, filed in State Supreme Court in the Bronx, expands a complaint filed at the end of March by Tichaona Brown and Tabrese Wright, two black women who worked in the Fox News payroll department. In particular, the suit contends that Judith Slater, the company’s longtime comptroller, engaged in racist behavior and made racist remarks and that senior executives ignored her actions. A third Fox News employee, Monica Douglas, joined the lawsuit earlier this month. Fox News fired Ms. Slater in February.

The lawsuits contend that Fox News employees repeatedly complained about racial discrimination to current network executives but that no action was taken and that the inappropriate behavior continued.

Fox News' legal troubles grew even larger Tuesday, with new plaintiffs, including an anchor, joining a suit alleging racial discrimination and harassment at the network.

The suit is now headlined by Kelly Wright, a black reporter and anchor who has been with Fox News since 2003. Wright claims that he "has been effectively sidelined and asked to perform the role of a 'Jim Crow' -- the racist caricature of a Black entertainer."

Wright's allegations involve, among others, recently fired Fox News host Bill O'Reilly and current network co-president Bill Shine.

The suit claims that Wright was shunned from O'Reilly's now-canceled program, "The O'Reilly Factor," and that Shine "has demonstrated an obsession with race when it comes to discussions with Mr. Wright, including regularly asking him, 'how do Black people react to you' and 'how do you think White viewers look at you?'"

"Hey at least we didn't sexually harrass you." Fox News, probably.

 

[TheContact]

shut down this "news" outlet already

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

Yo...

Can Fox finally get worked?

Nobody is too good to get worked.

 

[Ketch]

Man, I truly hope cable news gets destroyed and left in shambles.

 

[Slayven]

They had Mandingo fights in the break room

 

[Grizzlyjin]

They're about to get hit with a One of the Not So Good Ones countersuit in 3...2...1...

 

[RinsFury]

Can the FCC ban them from broadcasting?

[Flying Toaster]

I am glad this is happening and the timing could not be more perfect right after the settlement and the boycott leading to Bill being booted. No one should put up with a hostile work environment and I hope more shit comes out because of this.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Still can't believe this happened without hardly a peep.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

What? I for one am shocked. Fox fostered a racist environment? Who would have ever thought......Ok I can't keep a straight face anymore. Based off everything else this does not surprise me one damn bit. Hell there was a story a bit back of Hanity pulling a gun on Juan Williams.

 

[Acorn]

Domino theory is holding.

 

[Wanda/Wander]

 

[Jenov]

Surprise surprise. The network that's riddled with misogynistic men and sexual assault law suits also harbors racists. Who would have thunk it.

 

[Violence Jack]

It's been long past time to burn down Fox News. Maybe it's starting to crumble just a bit.

I'm so shocked that a conservative news network treated black folks like it was the 1940s again.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Would not have faulted him if he punched O'Reilly right then and there in the fucking mouth and broke his teeth.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Let it burn to the fucking ground.

 

[PixelatedBookake]

Fuuuuuuuuck this. I hope this man lives in a box for the rest of his life shit

 

[Widdle Puppy]

Fox News is so damn racist.

 

[Volimar]

Would not have faulted him if he punched O'Reilly right then and there in the fucking mouth and broke his teeth.

Instead he said something like "and you look like a cocaine user."

 

[entremet]

[boredandlazy]

This happened?!

Yes. Unfortunately.

[Shaanyboi]

This happened?!

Oh you bet

 

[ArchedThunder]

That's big rupes eye alright. Towering over Anglosphere policy makers.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Yoooo I just saw that clip and that shit was disrespectful. Bill O Reilly has some brass balls on him, of this there is no doubt.

 

[Volimar]

Is this the castle?

Wrong company.

 

[Acorn]

Wrong company.

They wish they had Rupert Murdoch's oversized influence.

 

[riotous]

Yoooo I just saw that clip and that shit was disrespectful. Bill O Reilly has some brass balls on him, of this there is no doubt.

Especially since he was insulting a possible gang member.

"You look like a cocaine user..." he said jokingly. Was way too nice of a response to that subhuman sack of shit.

 

[Kuroi Gogeta]

Instead he said something like "and you look like a cocaine user."

He handled it in such a way that suggests he's had to deal with that kind of disrespect on a weekly basis

"You look like a cocaine user..." he said smiling. Was way too nice of a response to that subhuman sack of shit.

Truly crazy how that shit was tolerated in this century. It by rights should sink anyone.
