CBS Sunday Morning: Gretchen Carlson and the complicated truth about NDAs
It may feel like Gretchen Carlson's story has been told many times – just not by her. The former Fox News anchor's sexual harassment lawsuit helped topple the cable giant's chairman and CEO, the late Roger Ailes, and it got the Hollywood treatment twice last year – on television in the Showtime miniseries, "The Loudest Voice," and then again in the Oscar-winning film, "Bombshell."
She wasn't allowed to speak to the filmmakers or actors.
A character based on Carlson's former colleague, Julie Roginsky, also appears in "Bombshell."
Roginsky named Ailes in her own harassment suit. But she and Carlson both signed non-disclosure agreements (or NDAs) as part of their financial settlements. Now, both have asked to be released from those agreements.
