| The plot thickens. Charles Payne's inappropriate behavior sparks a lawsuit against Fox News. |
The Republican consultant who was then a contributor on Fox Business and Fox News is suing 21st Century Fox for sexual harassment.
She is proceeding this after the network lifted the suspension of host Charles Payne. The no neck Black conservative was accused of sexual harassment of her and others.
Payne admitted that he had a three year romantic affair with Scottie Nell Hughes. She was a Republican who commented and handicapped the 2016 presidential election. Payne would often have her on his show Making Money.
The two were married and they were involved. Fox executives knew of this relationship.
Payne was hoping to get Hughes to divorce her husband.
When she refused to divorce her husband, Payne cut her off.
Payne claimed that he was a victim.
Hughes claimed that Payne and two top executives tried to slander her in the National Enquirer.

67. On or about July 9, 2013, Ms. Hughes accepted Payne’s invitation to accompany him to a Manhattan museum, after which the two shared a taxi back to Fox’s headquarters at 1211 Avenue of the Americas. During this ride, Payne pressured Ms. Hughes to give him her hotel room information. She refused.
68. Over the next several hours while at Fox’s headquarters, Payne persisted in forcing Ms. Hughes into giving him her hotel room number. When she continued to refuse, Payne expressed his anger. Eventually, by way of his pressure and insistence, Ms. Hughes agreed that he could come to her room in order to speak privately.
69 That night in her room, Payne sexually assaulted and raped Ms. Hughes.
70. Rape is forcing another person to engage in sexual activity the person does not agree to; including forcing a body part or object into a female’s vagina, rectum or mouth against her will. Ms. Hughes clearly told Payne to “stop,” and that she was not willing to have physical contact with him. Not willing to stop when she said “no,” Payne forced her to engage in sexual intercourse against her will.
71. During his violent tirade, Payne said, “you know you want this,” and “you’ve been teasing me since that first time on set, wearing those short dresses over those long legs with your big boobs hanging out.” When Ms. Hughes again said, “no,” and said that she just “wanted to be friends,” Payne became more incensed, tightened his grip on her and angrily said, “You have a bright future but you’re not acting like you have the priorities I thought you did; come on girl, you know you want it.” She tried to push him away but Payne was too strong. Fearing that he would cause her irreparable physical harm, Ms. Hughes stopped physically fighting back. After he raped her, Payne disturbingly announced on his way out, “This changes things.”
72. Shocked, humiliated and afraid to speak out, Ms. Hughes told no one about what happened.
73. After the sexual assault, Payne’s invitations to Ms. Hughes to appear on Fox programs increased dramatically.
Boy, this clown thinks he can get away with this. I hope Fox News fires this asshole out the cannon.
