BRAVE JOURNEYS with TAMMI FARADAY
Gretchen Carlson - Being Fierce
In 2016, highly respected & award-winning US journalist and former Fox News anchor, Gretchen Carlson, moved from covering the headlines to becoming one herself.
The violin prodigy, former Miss America, Stanford Graduate and acclaimed journalist successfully sued the late CEO & Fox News founder, Roger Ailes for sexual harassment, claiming that she’d been fired for turning down his sexual advances. This landmark case, which inspired the feature film Bombshell – starring Nicole Kidman – saw Gretchen receive an unprecedented public apology and settlement, reported to be worth $20 million.
But she can’t talk about it. Why? Because bound by a draconian Non-Disclosure Agreement, Gretchen’s been gagged to speak about her time at Fox, the circumstances surrounding her termination, as well as the settlement ultimately reached.
In 2017, Gretchen was named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World & in the same year she released her magnificent New York Times Bestselling Manifesto, Be Fierce: Stop Harassment & Take Your Power Back.
And in 2019, Gretchen co-founded Lift Our Voices; an organisation whose mission is to ban non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and forced arbitration clauses in employment contracts, so that victims of sexual harassment, pay inequity, and workplace toxicity will not be forcibly silenced by them.
