It is sad that women get sexually harassed in their workplace. They might not speak up due to fear or shame and those that manage to speak up are shunned or not taken seriously.
Bombshell is a real life story of 3 strong women who came together to say no to sexual harassment in their workplace.
The movie is about the lives of employees of Fox News. Specifically about 3 women Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron) Gretchen Carlson (Nicole Kidman) and Kayla Pospisil (Margot Robbie). The movie begin when Megyn co-moderates the 2016 Republican debate and she confronts Donald Trump about the insultive comments he made to different women. This led to a big internet scandal as people began to insult Megyn on the internet including Donald Trump and a paparazzo even stalks her family.
On the other hand, Gretchen Carlson is replaced as co-anchor of the show Fox and friends and she is moved to a less popular show where she was overwhelmed by sexist comments. We find out later that she was removed because she did not agree to a sexual relationship with her boss Roger Ailes (Hohn Lithgow). When she got fired later on she decides to sue Roger for sexual harassment. Her lawyers told her that if she wants to win more victims have to come ou but no one was willing to talk.
Furthermore, Kayla is a new employee working with Bill O'Rieilly and his team. She messed up on her first day then she gets drunk I and sleeps with a lesbian co-worker who the explains to her what is takes to survive in Fox. Kayla in her quest to succeed falls into Rogers's trap and becomes a victim of sexual harassment.
After a while the women stoop up together against Roger Ailes and more women from the past came forward. Eventually, Roger was fired and Gretchen recieved the sum of $20 million for damages and an apology from Fox.
