Jessica Golloher, who covers the Middle East and North Africa for Fox News Radio Network, says in the lawsuit that instead of addressing complaints, Fox is using the harassment hotline "to paint targets on the backs of employees." A spokesperson for Fox News, a unit of Twenty-First Century Fox Inc, said Golloher's claims were baseless. Ailes denied the claims, but Fox agreed to pay $20 million to settle Carlson's lawsuit. In Thursday's lawsuit, Golloher says that despite her being based in Moscow during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, a male London-based reporter who did not speak Russian was chosen as Fox's lead reporter for the games. Fox News is a US cable and satellite news television channel owned by the Fox Entertainment Group, a subsidiary of 21st Century Fox.
