Newsmax has sent all employees a memo informing them that mandatory sexual harassment training will be given in the wake of accusations made against Vice President of Programming Chris Knowles.
In November, a report from Mediaite claimed two employees made allegations against Knowles, with the report claiming Knowles had been told to “correct his behavior”.
In response, Newsmax said it had “never had a single complaint about Mr. Knowles having sexually inappropriate activity with any staffer, either formally or informally.”
In an email to employees Monday, staffers were told sexual harassment training will commence for an entire week during the month of February, according to Mediaite.
That report refutes claims made by the cable news outlet that it took accusations against Knowles seriously. One anonymous employee argued that the network did not investigate any of the November claims.
