For nearly 16 months, Karolina Wilson worked as a personal assistant for Fox TV host Laura Ingraham. Wilson is suing Ingraham and her company, Ingraham Media Group, alleging pregnancy discrimination under the District’s Protecting Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and its Family and Medical Leave Act. Ingraham allowed Wilson to remain with the company for about three weeks so Wilson could eventually collect unemployment insurance. Ingraham’s company then allowed her to remain off for eight weeks, on condition, Wilson said, that she still work from home. The lawsuit alleges that Ingraham sent Wilson a text that morning “wishing her luck” and then text messages with various assignments.
