Embattled Fox News Co-President Bill Shine resigned Monday following intense scrutiny about his stewardship of the network in the wake of the Bill OReilly scandal and amid growing sexual harassment and racial discrimination allegations.

A veteran network executive, Shine was promoted to co-president just weeks after Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes downfall over widespread sexual harassment claims, and his departure comes two weeks after top-rated host OReilly left the network due to a similar scandal.

The New York Times revealed last month that 21st Century Fox paid settlements to OReillys accusers even after the Ailes mess, which undermined the contention from the networks parent company that it was cleaning up a toxic workplace environment. Meanwhile, the legal threats against Fox News keep coming, with Shine accused in several lawsuits of covering up or downplaying allegations of sexual harassment and racial discrimination.
