CNN is facing a racial discrimination lawsuit that, according to The Hollywood Reporter, "may grow exponentially."

Ex-CNN worker Celeslie Henley and current TBS employee Ernest Colbert Jr. are leading the class action lawsuit against Time Warner in Georgia federal court.

Their suit claims the internal policies ensure black employees aren't promoted as often or to positions as high as their white counterparts.

Henley and Colbert Jr. also allege wage discrimination, claiming that they were both paid less than their white counterparts.

Since the suit was launched in December, more than 175 people, both former and current Time Warner employees, have requested to be members of the putative class action suit, the New York Business Journal reported.

CNN is not alone in facing charges of discrimination.

Earlier this year, rival Fox News was hit with a federal lawsuit in New York from 11 current and former employees, according to Variety.

The suit, filed in State Supreme Court in the Bronx, accuses Fox News of "abhorrent, intolerable, unlawful and hostile racial discrimination." It expands on a complaint filed in March by Tichaona Brown and Tabrese Wright, two black women who previously worked in Fox News' payroll department. The women claim that longtime company comptroller Judith Slater engaged in racist behavior that was routinely overlooked by Fox News executives.

"We take complaints of this nature very seriously and took prompt and effective remedial action before Ms. Brown and Ms. Wright sued in court and even before Ms. Wright complained through her lawyer. There is no place for inappropriate verbal remarks like this at Fox News. We are disappointed that this needless litigation has been filed," Fox News said in a statement to The Republican.
