Anita Hill: Fox News Kept the Sexual Harassment in Place by Paying Women Off

‘We can begin to understand how much power is at play here’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

HILL: "I think that a lot is gained through the recognition of a system as large as Fox Network. Once we know that this is happening in places that maybe we wouldn’t expect it to happen or we can begin to understand how much power is at play here, and not simply just individual behavior, but also how the Fox network structures kept the harassment in place by buying people or paying women who had been harassed, who brought complaints, and also keeping those complaints secret. These are — this is where the system sort of steps in. And I think there’s a lot to be learned from that. And people will move forward because of this. We learn not only from women who have bravely come forward like those women with Fox, like the women who are still coming forward like the three African-American women now who have come forward, we also learn from individual whose claims have come forward and who haven’t prevailed."
