In just nine months, Fox News has lost its founder and its biggest star to sexual harassment scandals.

It began on July 6, 2016, when Gretchen Carlson dropped a bombshell that CEO Roger Ailes had harassed her. Other accusations followed and Ailes was gone two weeks later. On Wednesday, Bill O'Reilly followed Ailes out the door.

July 6, 2016 - Gretchen Carlson brings suit against Roger Ailes

Carlson, a former Fox News host, sends shock waves through the media world when she sues Ailes. The suit claims that she was terminated for "refusing Ailes' sexual advances."

Ailes denies the accusations saying "This is a retaliatory suit for the network's decision not to renew her contract."

This leads Fox's parent company, 21st Century Fox (FOX), to conduct an internal review.

July 29, 2016 - Laurie Luhn

Laurie Luhn, a former Fox News booker, tells investigators of the Fox internal probe that she had been harassed by Ailes for more than 20 years and that Fox News knew about it, according to New York Magazine.

"It was psychological torture," she tells the magazine.

August 22, 2016 - Andrea Tantaros

Andrea Tantaros, a former Fox News host, files a lawsuit alleging that she was sexually harassed by both Ailes and O'Reilly.

"Fox News masquerades as a defender of traditional family values, but behind the scenes, it operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency and misogyny," Tantaros claims in the suit.

Fox News responds a few days later saying Tantaros is "not a victim" but rather "an opportunist."

September 2016 - Juliet Huddy

21st Century Fox pays out a $1.6 million settlement to Juliet Huddy, who had made appearances on "The O'Reilly Factor," according to The New York Times.

Of the five, the Times reveals three payouts totaling $13 million.

April 3, 2017 - Julie Roginsky

Just days after Times report, Julie Roginsky files a harassment lawsuit against Ailes.

Roginsky, a contributor, alleges that Ailes advised her to "engage in sexual relationships with 'older, married, conservative men' because 'they may stray but they always come back because they're loyal.'"

Roginsky states that she was led to believe that she would receive a permanent position on the network's panel show, "The Five," but that it was rescinded once she turned back Ailes.
