Jamie Horowitz has been fired from FOX due to sexual harassment allegations.
Horowitz, who was the head of sports programming for FOX, was let go on Monday after FOX had been investigating sexual harassment claims in their sport’s division for about a week.
L.A Times reported that some of the women who were victims of Horowitz include on-air personalities and producers.
“Everyone at Fox Sports, no matter what role we play, or what business, function or show we contribute to — should act with respect and adhere to professional conduct at all times,” Fox Sports President Eric Shanks said in an email to FOX staff members.
“These values are non-negotiable,” he continued.
A production assistant told Sports Illustrated about an incident she had encountered with Horowitz. She claims Horowitz tried to kiss her.
“I have been working in sports for a long time, and no one has ever been that bold with me,” she said. “I saw him at Fox one day, and he said he wanted to catch up.… The hook was that he could get me more work.”
