John Finley was a Fox News executive for twenty years. He produced Fox Nation and was once Sean Hannity’s Executive Producer. He had been accused of sexual harassment back in 2011 and cleared by an internal investigation. He was accused of stalking and sexual harassment again and was put on leave while the investigation was conducted. He was let go after the investigation revealed he had violated company policies.
The woman alleged he stalked her and would not stop texting her. He promised benefits, a quid pro quo, offering all sorts of career benefit if she would see him. She took her claim to Fox’ HR and they began an investigation.
Allegedly, Finley had pursued relationships with colleagues and staffers. Even his wife was a staffer who married him and then they were divorced.
