Britt McHenry Sues Fox News and Tyrus, Claims Network Retaliated Over Sexual-Harassment Claim – By Justin Baragona (Daily Beast) / Dec 10 2019
The Fox Nation host alleges, among other retaliatory actions, the network turned a blind eye to stars like Greg Gutfeld publicly mocking her sexual-misconduct claims against Tyrus.
Fox News contributor Britt McHenry on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against Fox News, a number of network employees, and Fox’s parent company, alleging the cable outlet attempted to retaliate against her in response to a sexual-harassment complaint she filed against her former co-host Tyrus.
The lawsuit, filed by attorney Lisa Bloom in the Southern District of New York, names Tyrus, Fox Entertainment Group, Fox Corp, News Corp, Fox Nation chief John Finley, Fox Nation executive producer Jennifer Cunningham, and a human-resources employee.
The legal action follows a complaint McHenry filed with New York State’s Division of Human Rights last month after Fox News conducted a second investigation into McHenry’s sexual misconduct claims against Tyrus, who was previously her co-host of Fox Nation show Un-PC.
In the suit, McHenry alleges the network reacted to her accusations against Tyrus by refusing to book her on Fox News programs, essentially “shunning her,” and “shutting her out of company events.” The conservative pundit also claims that when she complained to HR and management, the network “asked what Ms. McHenry did to provoke her harasser.”
