Former Fox News host Melissa Francis has spoken about her departure from the network amid the fallout from Tucker Carlson and Fox News \u201cparting ways.\u201d<\/p>\n
In an interview with Megyn Kelly on Sirius XM, Francis began by recalling an alleged incident in which Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott \u201cshrugged it off\u201d when her supervisor at the network sent an email calling Francis a \u201cmisogynistic sexist name.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I worked at Fox News, there was a manager of mine who sent an email calling me a misogynistic, sexist name, and talking about \u2014 demeaning my behavior. He sent it around to all of the managers, and accidentally included me \u2014 we\u2019ve all done that, to be honest. When you\u2019re gossiping about someone and you add them to it too,\u201d Francis said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo he did that. So when I received that email I went directly to [Fox News CEO] Suzanne Scott\u2019s office because she also was copied on the email. And I said, what the f***?\u2019 Like \u2014 I mean \u2014 and she shrugged it off. And that man who sent that email demeaning me in a sexist and misogynistic way still works there. In fact, he was the author of many of the things you read in the Dominion case,\u201d she added. \u201cAnd I checked yesterday \u2014 he\u2019s still there. So this idea, that something in a text would be so awful that they wouldn\u2019t \u2014 they\u2019re on the side of women. They don\u2019t want to subject Fox women to an environment where you have someone like Tucker saying those words \u2014 that is a bald-faced lie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Francis said she was axed via teleprompter.<\/p>\n
The former Fox News host was paid $15 million in 2022 after she filed a gender-based pay disparity claim against the company. Francis\u2019 team seems to believe she was let go from Fox News over her lawsuit against the network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
