Ms. Areu was a relatively regular face on The Sean Hannity Show until March 8, 2018. On that day, Mr. Hannity, on set and in front of the entire studio crew and completely unsolicited threw $100 on the set desk. He then began calling out to the men in the room and demanding that someone take Ms. Areu out on a date for drinks at Del Friscos. He repeatedly Case 1:20-cv-05593 Document 1 Filed 07/20/20 Page 7 of 39 Deadline 8 yelled, who wants to take her on a date? Take her on a date to Del Friscos. Ms. Areu was completely mortified and made clear that she was incredibly uncomfortable with Mr. Hannitys misogynistic behavior by quietly pleading with one of her friends in the room to accept the money so that the humiliation would end. 25. To make matters worse, Ms. Areu was stuck and could not even leave because Mr. Hannity engaged in this conduct while she was hooked into studio equipment that could only have been removed by a stagehand. 26. Thankfully, none of the staff cooperated with Mr. Hannity, even after he repeatedly chided one particular male employee for being afraid to take out a beautiful woman.

Following the show, Mr. Carlson, hardly making any effort to hide his intentions, began telling Ms. Areu that he would be alone in New York City that night, and specifically said that he would be staying alone in his hotel room without any wife or kids. 34. Without question, Mr. Carlson was probing to see whether Ms. Areu was interested in a sexual relationship. Ms. Areu awkwardly sidestepped Mr. Carlsons advances and declined to spend the night at his hotel. Mr. Carlson promptly retaliated against Ms. Areu, who was featured on his show only three times in 2019 and has not appeared once in 2020.
