Ousted Fox Sports executive’s lawyer describes treatment at Fox as ‘appalling’ and vows to vigorously defend against ‘slanderous accusations’ – By Cork Gaines / July 3 2017
In a surprising move, Jamie Horowitz has been fired as president of Fox Sports National Networks, according to several reports. One of those reports suggested Horowitz was dismissed amid an ongoing sexual-harassment investigation at Fox Sports.
Patty Glaser, an “powerhouse” attorney Horowitz hired to represent him, told Business Insider she would “vigorously defend Horowitz against what she described as “slanderous accusations” and called his treatment by Fox “appalling.”
“The way Jamie has been treated by Fox is appalling,” Glaser said. “At no point in his tenure was there any mention by his superiors or human resources of any misconduct or an inability to adhere to professional conduct. Jamie was hired by Fox to do a job, a job that until today he has performed in an exemplary fashion. Any slanderous accusations to the contrary will be vigorously defended.”
