Former anchor says Fox News a 'sex-fueled cult' in harassment lawsuit

A former Fox News anchor claims in a lawsuit that former network Chairman Roger Ailes, who resigned amid allegations of sexual harassment and is reportedly advising Donald Trump, fueled a misogynistic culture at the top-rated channel enforced by other executives.
Andrea Tantaros said she was taken off the air in April in retaliation for rebuffing Ailes' advances and complaining to top officials at Fox News, a unit of Twenty-First Century Fox Inc, in a lawsuit filed Monday in New York state court in Manhattan.
The defendants include Fox, Ailes, William Shine, who was named co-president of the network when Ailes resigned last month, and three other company officials.
Fox in a statement said it does not comment on pending litigation. Two lawyers for Ailes did not respond to requests for comment.
