FOX Fires anchor henry over sex Misconduct CLAIM

-

Fox News Channel fired anchor Ed Henry after a former co-worker accused him of what the network described as “sexual misconduct in the workplace years ago.” According to a memo sent to employees on Wednesday morning, a lawyer for a former Fox employee sent a complaint to the network last Thursday.

The network responded by suspending Henry, removing him from the air, and launching an independen­t investigat­ion. “Based on investigat­ive findings, Ed has been terminated,” Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and president Jay Wallace said in the memo. Henry, 48, who joined Fox from CNN in 2011, was named co-anchor of the morning news show “America’s Newsroom” in December, hosting the three-hour daily show alongside Sandra Smith.
