Fox Business suspends host Charles Payne amid harassment investigation
By John Bowden - 07/06/17 09:19 PM EDT Fox Business host Charles Payne was suspended from the network Thursday night pending a sexual harassment investigation.
Payne, who hosts "Making Money" on Fox Business, was suspended pending "further investigation" of sexual harassment charges after his show Thursday, a network spokesperson confirmed to The Hill.
“We take issues of this nature extremely seriously and have a zero tolerance policy for any professional misconduct," the network wrote in a statement.
"This matter is being thoroughly investigated and we are taking all of the appropriate steps to reach a resolution in a timely manner.”
The allegations were originally reported in the Los Angeles Times, and Payne recently admitted to a three-year “romantic relationship” with a married Fox News guest who alleges she was "banned" from the network after ending the relationship.
