GRETCHEN CARLSON

Tucker Carlson has been ousted by Fox News, where he hosted the conservative cable network’s most popular program.

President Joe Biden has given victims of workplace sexual assault or harassment the right to seek recourse in a court of law instead of through forced arbitration proceedings.

Congress has given final approval to legislation guaranteeing that people who experience sexual harassment at work can seek recourse in the courts.

The U.S. House has passed legislation barring contracts that force people to settle sexual assault or harassment cases through arbitration rather than in court, a process that often benefits employers and keeps misconduct allegations from becoming public.

New York City's human rights commission has fined Fox News $1 million for violation of laws protecting against sexual harassment and job retaliation.

Carlson got a reported $20 million settlement in 2016 after she sued the network, claiming late Fox News chief Roger Ailes demoted then fired her when she rejected his sexual advances. Since her departure from Fox, Carlson has become an advocate for women, from writing books like "Be Fierce" to producing and hosting the Lifetime documentary "Breaking the Silence" about sexual harassment earlier this year. Carlson said she is amazed at how much progress has happened regarding sexual harassment cases in just three years.
