After Abrupt Exit From Fox News, Greta’s Husband Hints at Legal Action

Law Newz  . . . "The New York Times spoke with Greta’s husband, John P. Coale, on the phone, and pay attention to this key section:

Ms. Van Susteren’s husband, John P. Coale, said in a phone interview on Tuesday that his wife exercised what is known as “key man clause’’ on Friday, which allowed her to leave if Mr. Ailes was not in control.

He said, “There’s so much chaos, it’s very hard to work there.” He said the timing of her departure with the announcement of the settlement with Ms. Carlson was a “coincidence.”

Asked about why she had exercised the key man clause, he said, “There’s more than meets the eye” and that there “might be litigation in the future” so he did not want to talk further.

"The Times doesn’t clarify what the legal action would entail. We can only assume this means she may take legal action against Fox News, regarding a dispute with her contract. We will keep you posted if we get more information."

Legal Experts Shocked by Fox’s $20 Million Settlement With Gretchen Carlson   . . . "Attorneys also believe this case may open the door to more sexual harassment claims in the workplace. Some were especially surprised by the high dollar amount that 21st Century Fox agreed to fork over.

“ 'It’s definitely a bigger settlement than I can recall seeing lately or even ever in a sexual harassment claim. It’s also unusual that it is not confidential. It appears that (the number) was leaked, ” attorney Kate Gold told LawNewz.com. " . . .
