"Fox News has agreed to settle a former anchor's sexual harassment lawsuit against former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes for $20 million, Vanity Fair reported Tuesday.

As part of the settlement, the company is also reportedly expected to give Gretchen Carlson an "unprecedented apology."It is not known how much Ailes will pay personally as part of the settlement, the report said.

Carlson will also not take any more legal action against Fox News or any of its other executives as part of the agreement.

Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Ailes about two months ago.

Ailes resigned amid an internal investigation two weeks after Carlson filed the suit."
