New York (CNN Business) Fox News said Wednesday that Ed Henry, one of its top news anchors, has been fired after an investigation into an allegation was leveled by a former employee.
"On Thursday, June 25, we received a complaint about Ed Henry from a former employee's attorney involving willful sexual misconduct in the workplace years ago," Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and president Jay Wallace wrote in an internal memo.
The executives said that an outside law firm was immediately brought in to investigate the claims.
"Ed was suspended the same day and removed from his on-air responsibilities pending investigation," they said. "Based on investigative findings, Ed has been terminated.

Did you think you'd get to run the world forever?
Little soldiers fighting loyal by your side
That you'd get to play the role of grand commander
Never questioning your motives or your pride
One little soldier
Talking to the others
One little soldier
Calling out the cowards
You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
I can listen to you dance all day
You've got them real long legs
Won't you tell us a story?
Doesn't even matter what you say
Did you want me as your whore or your Madonna?
Did you want me to stay quiet or get loud?
Did you want me in bright lights or in your shadow?
Did you want 'cause you knew I'd draw a crowd?
In the game the little soldiers get maneuvered
If you lose a few you easily move on
Bet you never thought your soldiers

(10,084 posts)I actually kind of liked him. When he got run off I expected some kind of Tell All even though he had to sign some kind of non compete agreement.

(6,143 posts)Ed Henry was a snake. When he was with CNN he lobbied hard for FOX to be given a front row seat at White House press briefings. As soon as they got the seat, he left CNN and went to FOX.
