On Tuesday, on-air host Kelly Wright joined ten former and current Fox employees in a lawsuit alleging racial discrimination and harassment at the network. He joined Fox in 2003 and co-hosted the weekend edition of “Fox and Friends” from 2006 to 2008. The suit now includes eleven former or current Fox employees, including Kelly Wright. Defendants include Fox News, parent company 21st Century Fox, general counsel Dianne Brandi, and former comptroller Judith Slater. The employees say that racial bias at Fox News “appears more akin to Plantation-style management than a modern-day work environment.”
