A group of 11 current and former Fox News employees filed a class-action lawsuit against the television network on Tuesday, claiming years of “abhorrent, intolerable” racial discrimination. The suit, filed in New York State Supreme Court in the Bronx, amends an earlier complaint filed in March by two women who, at the time, cited “top-down racial harassment,” The New York Times notes. The suit now includes Kelly Wright, who is co-anchor of “America’s News Headquarters” on Fox News, and eight others. “The only consistency at Fox is the abhorrent, intolerable, unlawful and hostile racial discrimination ... more akin to plantation-style management than a modern-day work environment,” the suit reads. They are copycat complaints of the original one filed last month,” the spokesperson said in an email.
