This memo sent by Fox News to their employees says the complaint they received last Thursday was from a former employee’s attorney. The complaint alleged willful sexual misconduct years ago.
Fox News says they hired an outside law firm to investigate the matter and then, based on the findings, fired Ed Henry.
This is a big deal because Henry was just made co-host of America’s Newsroom in January of this year to replace Bill Hemmer, who took the 3pm slot after Shep Smith quit.
