The investigation by a law firm concerns whether certain Twenty-First Century Fox officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties and caused damage to the company and its shareholders.
On July 6, 2016, former Twenty-First Century Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson, filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against then-Fox News chief Roger Ailes. Carlson claimed in her lawsuit that her firing was retaliation for her refusing Ailes’ sexual advances. In addition, several women, including Megyn Kelly, Twenty-First Century Fox’s star anchor, reportedly stepped forward saying they also had experienced unwanted sexual advances from Ailes.
On July 21, 2016, Twenty-First Century Fox announced that Ailes was ousted from the network and Rupert Murdoch stepped in as chairman.
On August 10, 2016, it was reported that Twenty-First Century Fox is also facing scrutiny over whether it knew, or should have known, about Ailes’s alleged behavior. The article further states that “[c]orporate governance and ethics experts say that [Fox] and its board ought to have been aware of problems involving sexual harassment accusations at the network, as well as any payouts related to them.”
