(The Hill) Political commentator Scottie Nell Hughes filed a lawsuit against Fox News on Monday accusing the network of retaliating against her after she claimed she was raped by Fox Business anchor Charles Payne.
The New York Times reports that in the lawsuit, Hughes said Payne coerced her to have sex with him even though she had repeatedly refused him by saying "no" and "stop."
Hughes alleges that she was forced to remain in a sexual relationship with Payne and received more appearances on Fox News and Fox Business during it. But Hughes said after she ended the relationship with Payne, she was blacklisted by the network.
"In July of 2013, I was raped by Charles Payne. In July of 2017, I was raped again by Fox News. Since then, I have been living an absolute hell," Hughes told The Times.
Payne returned to Fox News earlier this month after being suspended in July amid a sexual harassment investigation.
Hughes said her lawsuit "speaks for itself" in a statement on Monday.
"What is most important to me is that justice will prevent other women from going through the nightmare I'm now living," she said.
Hughes's suit comes at a time when Fox News is already under fire for what critics say is a top-down sexual harassment problem.
Earlier this month, the network announced that longtime host Eric Bolling would not be returning after being suspended over allegations that he sent female co-workers lewd messages.
Bolling's exit came months after the shocking departure of primetime star Bill O'Reilly, who left after The New York Times reported in April that he had paid $13 million to settle harassment claims from five women.
Former Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes was pushed out last summer after former host Gretchen Carlson accused the top exec of sexual harassment in a lawsuit. An investigation by an outside firm also revealed more claims by women who say they experienced inappropriate behavior from Ailes, including former prime-time anchor Megyn Kelly.
In a statement, Hughes's attorneys say her suit represents "an action against Fox to hold it accountable for yet another case involving sexual harassment and retaliation inflicted by Fox executives in order to protect male, on-air talent."
"After Ms. Hughes confidentially reached out to Fox to disclose [assert] that she was sexually assaulted and raped by Fox anchor Charles Payne, Fox ruthlessly leaked her name to a reporter at the National Enquirer, along with a self-serving 'statement' by Payne apologizing for what he falsely described as an 'affair,'" they say.

GRA:My least favorite current comic (in a 4 way tie with Fallon,Colbert and Kimmel)gets caught cheating on his pregnant wife,not once,not twice,but multiple times--with multiple women.Cosby uhh Hart is a typical black,and his wife is a typical black wife--like Camille Cosby,Beyonce,or Coretta King --who tolerate their husbands philandering at the expense of self respect.White women,new to being involved with blacks, are getting introduced to this polygamist behavior currently.The question is,will THEY accept this?
Hart's wife was seen with Hart two days ago entering a restaurant --the first time since Hart admitted to his "mistakes".
The only real mistake will be if Mrs.Hart doesn't take Mr.Hart to the legal cleaners.
Niggas neva learn.

Hey I live in the same city as this mudshark (she is supposedly begging her cucked husband for forgiveness).. she has a Husband and 2 kids and was a stay at home mom for a while but got into politics again and she fucked her way on to the Trump campaign. She had her own website which was pretty popular right wing website and used that as a platform to get on TV. Once she made appearances on Fox News, she fucked Charles Payne multiple times for like a year and a half hoping it would earn her a permanent spot on Fox but never worked , so this race traitor deserve it
