    A law firm representing current and former employees of Fox News announced Monday that it was bringing three additional cases against the embattled cable news network.

    The latest claims, from employees at Fox News' accounting department and Fox News Radio, allege sexual harassment and racial discrimination, asserting that employees were mocked, threatened, passed over for permanent employment and terminated without just cause. The latest lawsuits bring the total count of plaintiffs leveling sexual harassment and discrimination claims represented by Wigdor to 23.

    Wigdor LLP, also now represents a Black IT worker who claims former "The Five" co-host Bob Beckel made a racially insensitive remark in her presence (Beckel has since been fired).
