Longtime Fox Business Network host Charles Payne has been suspended after a frequent guest on the network reportedly accused him of sexual harassment, adding to the list of sexual misconduct claims that have plagued 21st Century Fox over the past year.
Payne, who hosts the nightly personal finance show Making Money, will remain off the air pending an investigation, a Fox Business spokesman said in an emailed statement, without providing further details.
The suspension came after the National Enquirer on Wednesday published an article in which Payne admitted to carrying on a three-year romantic relationship with a married female political analyst who was a regular guest on Fox Business, and apologized to his wife, children and friends.
