Fox News Sued For Racial Bias

(26 Apr 2017) An expanded lawsuit accuses Fox News Channel of racial discrimination. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in state Supreme Court, adds eight former and current Fox employees to a case involving three former Fox workers and their accusations against a since-fired Fox financial executive. It also expands the case to include Dianne Brandi, Fox's chief counsel. Fox News said it vehemently denies the allegations, calling them "copycat complaints." It said Brandi denies the claims against her. The original lawsuit was filed in late March by two black women who worked in the network's payroll department, and a third colleague later joined it. The expanded lawsuit, incorporating the other employees, seeks unspecified compensatory damages and an elimination of unlawful employment practices at Fox. One plaintiff, former employee Adasa Blanco, said she complained about abuses by Judith Slater, the fired former comptroller as far back as 2008. Blanco worked in Fox News' accounts payable department. The workers allege that their complaints about the actions of Judith Slater went unanswered for years. One plaintiff, on-air personality Kelly Wright, said he'd been effectively sidelined and asked to perform the role of a Jim Crow, an insulting slang term to refer to a black man, according to the lawsuit.
