NEW YORK (AP) - The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a sexual harassment lawsuit Monday against News Corp.'s Fox News Network on behalf of a female former employee.
The lawsuit charges that the company discriminated against Kim Weiler and retaliated when she and others complained. The discrimination resulted in the "constructive discharge" of Weiler and others, court papers say.
The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, names Fox News Vice President Joe Chillemi, who is accused of denigrating women by using obscenities when describing them or their body parts. The suit accuses Chillemi of specifically denigrating pregnant women.
