At the time when the matter was being addressed in 2007, Bakhtiar’s lawyer said that she had been unlawfully treated and terminated, citing a hostile environment of sexual harassment, quid pro quo sexual harassment, and retaliation. In response, Fox News refuted the allegations by stating that it could not be liable for quid pro quo sexual harassment even if her allegations against Wilson were true because he was not her supervisor at the time of the harassment. Fox News further stated that she could not prove a causal connection between her complaint and the termination of her contract. After her case went into confidential mediation in 2007 and Bakhtiar received a favorable ruling from the mediator, a settlement was reached in which Fox News agreed to pay Bakhtiar the $670,000 remaining on her contract and her legal fees. Although she agreed in her settlement not to speak of her experience at Fox News, she decided to speak in the wake of a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Gretchen Carlson against longtime Fox News CEO Roger Ailes in July 2016.
Bakhtiar worked on an unfinished documentary on Turkey after the failed 2016 Turkish coup d’état attempt and before Michael Flynn was officially named National Security Advisor for President Donald Trump. A Turkish businessman had paid the Flynn Intel Group, a lobbying group in the United States, more than $500,000 for the making of the film but he was adamant no one knew who they were. Bakhtiar complained she was not being given the opportunity to show a balanced view of the events and said the documentary was going to destroy Fethullah Gülen, a Turkish cleric whom Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan blamed for the coup attempt and would like to see extradited to Turkey from the U.S. In June 2017, Bakhtiar said she had not been contacted by people investigating Mr. Flynn, but by November 2017 it was reported that FBI agents investigating Flynn had contacted Bakhtiar.
