New York (CNN Business) The new movie Bombshell depicts former "Fox and Friends" host Gretchen Carlson's 2016 lawsuit against then-Fox News CEO Roger Ailes for sexual harassment, and the movement that followed. In fact, Carlson says she's barred entirely from discussing what happened to her at Fox Newsbecause of the nondisclosure agreement she signed as part of her $20 million settlement with 21st Century Fox. Carlson sued Ailes in July 2016 after she was removed from her 2 p.m. newscast "The Real Story" in late June. The lawsuit alleged she was terminated for "refusing Ailes' sexual advances." More than 20 women spoke to investigators about inappropriate behavior by Ailes.
