Two months after Gretchen Carlson sued Roger Ailes for sexual harassment—a move that essentially ended his career—Fox News has settled. According to Vanity Fair’s sources, Fox News will pay Carlson $20 million and offer her a public apology. Good for her.
As part of the settlement, Carlson has agreed not to pursue further legal action against Fox or other Fox News execs. That likely means Fox wanted to protect some people who might have knew about Ailes’ behavior toward Carlson and turned a blind eye.
