Charlie Dixon, formerly an executive producer at FS1, has departed from Fox Sports amid serious allegations including sexual battery and assault in lawsuits from former employees. His attorney claimed Dixon's dismissal was due to a policy violation unrelated to these lawsuits, specifically the non-disclosure of his wife's freelance hire. Dixon allegedly sought approval for this hire, which he received. As lawsuits proceed, key allegations against him include a forceful act towards former anchor Julie Stewart-Binks during a work meeting, raising concerns about workplace conduct.
In her lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Jan. 31, Stewart-Binks accused Dixon of holding her against a wall, 'forcefully' pressing his body against hers and trying 'to force his tongue into her mouth' following a work-related meeting in 2016.
Ly added: 'It is noteworthy that a Fox spokesperson made no reference to the company investigation of sexual harassment claims in announcing Mr. Dixon's departure. Mr. Dixon has cooperated fully with the investigation and denies engaging in any inappropriate conduct.'
