Julie Roginsky: Last News

UPDATE: President Joe Biden signed the Speak Out Act, which limits employers’ use of non-disclosure agreements to keep victims of sexual harassment silent.

A law that would limit employers’ use of non disclosure agreements to keep victims of sexual harassment silent overwhelmingly passed the House on Wednesday and now will head to President Joe Biden for signing.

Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and MediaGretchen Carlson, the former Fox News host who sued the network for sexual harassment and won, will be the subject of a new documentary, “In Her Own Words,” which will examine the use of non-disclosure agreements to silence whistleblowers. The film will also chronicle the efforts of Carlson and Julie Roginsky to launch Lift Our Voices, a nonprofit initiative which is trying to eliminate NDAs and mandatory arbitration clauses from the workplace.“In Her Own Words” will be made with Carlson’s full participation and collaboration, but in a sad bit of irony, the newscaster can’t address certain parts of her time at Fox News as she remains bound by the NDA that accompanied her settlement.

The story of Fox News whistleblower Gretchen Carlson is to be told in a feature documentary from XTR.
