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
