Instead, they started an investigation. All these other women came forward. And two weeks later, he was fi red,” says the former Fox & Friends anchor on a warm afternoon in early September. It is nearly three years to the day after she reached a $20-million settlement with 21st Century Fox and received an extraordinary public apology from her former employer — a key milestone in what would eventually become known’ as the #MeToo movement. “There is no way I could have known how this story would play out.” By toppling one of the most powerful fi gures in American media, Carlson sent a message to other survivors — not to mention enterprising journalists — that even seemingly untouchable men such as Harvey Weinstein and Bill O’Reilly could be held accountable for their alleged transgressions. Instead of crying at home as she once feared, Carlson has been able to pursue other professional opportunities. The Miss America winner has published a book, Be Fierce: Stop Harassment and Take Your Power Back, and advocated for the end of forced arbitration clauses in employment contracts — which, she says, have enabled workplace harassment by silencing women, burying their allegations and keeping predators on the job.
