It was almost two years ago when Megyn, who still worked at FOX News at the time, publicly accused former FOX chairman Roger Ailes of sexual harassment, alleging multiple unwanted sexual advances. That was just months after Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson had also accused him of sexual misconduct.

Megyn claimed his advances stopped after six months once she reported Roger’s behavior to her supervisor. She left Fox News in 2017 and signed a deal at NBC.
Prior to her departure, the disgraced chairman had resigned from the network in July 2016 with a $40 million exit agreement. Last May at age 77 he died in his home after accidentally falling and hitting his head. Roger was among several other high-profile men who have been accused of sexual harassment amid the #Metoo movement, including Catfish executive producer and host Nev Schulman.
