On Thursday, NBC News announced the additions of two new correspondents as the network added Dana Griffin and Marissa Parra. “I said ‘no, I’m not comparing myself to other people.’ I’m saying that I’ve collected all this data - basically how I just explained to you – I went through how I did all the comparisons I came up with and finally she broke in and said, and I wrote down verbatim, ‘that’s how the world works. You do not want to compare yourself to other people.’ “I said look, there’s this disparity and basically I laid it out. ‘How are your kids? What’s going on?’ Then she segued right into ‘Are you going to hand this off to somebody else? It’s not common for talent to do this for themselves,’” Francis recalled in the conversation with Brandi. I didn’t want to misspeak any portion of it at all.” I had actually scripted out exactly I wanted to say because my math and my points – I felt like I wanted to be crystal clear. I wasn’t even aware she was still here.’ We ended up having a voice conversation. I was shocked because I thought ‘wow, you’re gonna put her in a room alone with a woman to negotiate. “When I said I wanted to do my own negotiation, sent me an e-mail back saying ‘you’ll be meeting one-on-one with Dianne Brandi. “At the time I assumed she no longer worked at the company,” Francis continued.

“You have to understand that at the time there were two screeners from the Screen Actors Guild – Bombshell and The Loudest Voice – and they had actors playing Dianne Brandi behaving illegally towards women in the Roger Ailes situation,” said Francis. Francis, who joined Fox Business in 2012 and later became a host on Fox News, said she brought up the issue of pay disparity with the then-general counsel at Fox, Dianne Brandi. Francis appeared Friday with her attorney on The Megyn Kelly Show to talk about her 2020 departure from Fox. Former Fox News and Fox Business host Melissa Francis says she was fired seconds before she was supposed to go on the air.
