Jay Roach’s film centres on accusations of sexual harassment at US channel
It’s not often a TV channel can be credited with creating its own
fashion “look” but, in the case of Fox News, fashion and style have become central to the broadcaster’s brand. The almost identical blonde, blow-dried hairstyles, worn with short sheath dresses and stilettos by the channel’s female anchors are also a key feature of Bombshell, Jay Roach’s biographical film, which opened in
UK cinemas on Friday.
The film centres on accusations of sexual harassment levelled at the former chief executive Roger Ailes by
Fox News employees, while also depicting a toxic workplace culture imbued with sexism and secrecy.
