Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson is suing Roger Ailes, claiming the network's chairman and CEO "sabotaged her career" because she rejected his sexual advances.

Ailes took Carlson off the network's popular morning show "Fox & Friends" in 2013, reassigning her to an afternoon time slot at significantly reduced pay and "refused to provide her with anywhere near the level of network media support and promotion provided to other fox News hosts who did not complain about harassment," according to the lawsuit.
Lawyers alleged when Carlson confronted Ailes concerning his treatment of her, he replied, "I think you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago and then you'd be good and better and I'd be good and better," adding, "sometimes problems are easier to solve" that way.
