Conservative analyst Scottie Nell Hughes has accused Charles Payne, a Fox Business host, of sexual harassment, multiple sources tell HuffPost. Fox Business Network recently announced that it had renewed Payne’s contract. In a statement to HuffPost, a spokesperson for the Fox Business Network said, “We take issues of this nature extremely seriously and have a zero tolerance policy for any professional misconduct. Hughes started appearing on the Fox Business network in 2013, and according to three sources, kept an apartment near the network’s Sixth Avenue headquarters in New York. Payne and Hughes’ affair was widely known within the confines of the Fox Business world but a well-kept secret otherwise.
