Plots: A group of women take on Fox News head Roger Ailes and the toxic atmosphere he presided over at the network. When Gretchen Carlson slaps Fox News founder Roger Ailes with a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, not a soul could predict what would happen next. Her decision leads to Fox News correspondent Megyn Kelly coming forward with her own story, as well as multiple other women, inciting a movement that reverberates around the world. Against the backdrop of the 2016 United States presidential election, Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly found herself embroiled in controversy after questioning Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner, on his misogynistic comments. And then, on July 6, 2016, something started to change. After all, Gretchen Carlson, the network’s former anchorwoman, had already set in motion a maelstrom of events for refusing to exchange sexual favours with Fox News mogul Roger Ailes. As a result, other journalists, such as the ambitious producer Kayla Pospisil, came forward. United, three wronged women bent on bringing down the powerful CEO were prepared to reveal the toxic world of sexual harassment in a workplace environment. However, were Megyn, Gretchen, and Kayla the only ones who didn’t get along with the boys?
