“It’s all a lie, it’s all a fabrication”, Huff told the Track. “It’s all an attempt to bolster a lawsuit that appears to be meritless”.
“As a survivor of sexual abuse, I would never perpetuate language or actions as described in FOX complaint. He is also a gentleman”.
The complaint went full scorched Earth, accusing Former Fox News CEO, Roger Ailes, Fox News Host Bill O’Reilly, and former Senator Scott Brown of making unwanted advances.
According to the suit, Fox News told Ms. Tantaros that she was removed from her program because she had violated company guidelines by failing to disclose a coming book she had written, “Tied Up in Knots”, which was published this year by HarperCollins.
“We just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary”, she said. “His commitment to me has never, ever been in question”.
“I feel badly for her, and I feel badly for people like me and others that are being brought into this”, Brown said. “I think she’s trying to add credibility to her complaint against the higher-ups, showing a pattern – supposedly – of behavior there”. “By using Scott they are trying to build a case to establish credibility”, Huff said. Tantaros then immediately met with Shine to complain, asking him to ensure that Brown would never be booked on the show again.
Brown denied the allegations, calling them “completely and totally false”, according to Politico’s Hadas Gold.
“First of all, I don’t go to nightclubs”. In fact, I have worked more this year than any other year.
In an email to the Boston Globe, Brown said: “Her statement about our limited on air, green room interactions are false”. “And that’s not how I talk. I didn’t know about what salary it was”, she recalled. I’m at a loss. Fox News said Tuesday that it can’t comment on pending litigation. There were never any issues that I was aware of and my schedule never changed. “Needless to say, I’m sad about it, but I didn’t do anything wrong and I’m happy to tell anyone that, even under oath, if it’s required”.
Former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros filed a lawsuit in NY on Monday against the network and several senior executives in which she described encounters with Brown on the set of Outnumbered and in the company’s cafeteria that she said were emblematic of a culture at the cable channel that tolerated sexual harassment.
Andrea Tantaros described Fox in the lawsuit, filed Monday in NY, as a “sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult”.
Tantaros, who complained to superiors about Brown’s conduct, outlines her complaint in a lawsuit filed Monday in the New York Supreme Court.

“Perhaps the most shocking encounter of all”, the suit claims, “was a Spring 2015 meeting between Tantaros and Fox News Senior Executive, Defendant William Shine (‘Shine”), during which Tantaros sought relief from Ailes’s sexual harassment and Briganti’s retaliatory media vendetta against her.
