Fox News Hit With Lawsuit: Network ‘Sex-Fueled, Playboy Mansion-Like Cult’
Former anchor Andrea Tantaros has filed a lawsuit against Fox News Channel, asserting retaliation for lodging sexual harassment claims against former chairman Roger Ailes, The New York Times reported.
The Tantaros lawsuit, filed in Manhattan state Supreme Court Monday, also claims she was harassed by other executives at the network . . .
“Fox News masquerades as a defender of traditional family values, but behind the scenes, it operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency, and misogyny,” the Times quoted Tantaros’ lawsuit . . .
According to published reports, some two dozen Fox News staff have since claimed harassment issues, including star host Megyn Kelly . . .
Tantaros says she complained that another Fox executive, Irena Briganti, had been attacking her. Tantaros lawsuit asserts that [Bill] Shine “told Tantaros that Briganti is like a rabid dog on a chain that we can’t control. Sometimes that dog gets off the chain.” (Read more from “Fox News Hit With Lawsuit: Network ‘Sex-Fueled, Playboy Mansion-Like Cult'” HERE)
