Fox News host Melissa Francis ‘was paid $15 million settlement’ after complaining that the network retaliated against her when she complained about pay disparity
- Francis was employed by the conservative news network between 2012 and 2021
- Fox responded to the news by claiming that Francis’ allegations ‘were entirely without merit’
- The former news anchor recalled a conversation she had with a former Fox News executive in 2019, when her contract was subject to renewal
- ‘That’s how the world works. Women make less. It’s just a fact,’ Dianne Brandi allegedly told Francis, according to news anchor herself
- Fox News countered the exchange and did not want to reveal the salaries of its employees in arbitration after Francis took the network to court in 2020
