Current Events > Fox News, Ed Henry, Hannity and Carlson all sued for sexual harassment and worse

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/20/lawsuit-accuses-former-fox-news-reporter-ed-henry-of-rape.html

A bombshell lawsuit accuses former Fox News chief national correspondent Ed Henry of raping one woman, and says that the networks star anchor Sean Hannity once offered $100 to staffers to date a second woman who also accuses Henry of sexual harassment.

The suit says that in addition to Henry, plaintiff Cathy Areu was sexually harrassed by multiple other men at Fox News, including Hannity, the host Tucker Carlson, journalist Howard Kurtz and network political analyst Gianno Caldwell.

The other plaintiff, Areus fellow former Fox News employee Jennifer Eckhart, claims that Henry raped her, in addition to committing other sexual misconduct against her.

This is nuts. The actual allegations against Henry are so detailed and disgusting I'd get modded for posting them.

Here's the highlight of the Hannity and Carlson complaints

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.

fuck Fox News. they are all scumbags there

Wasn't Henry fired not too long ago after some internal investigation? In light of these new allegations, I think we know why.

I like it's always the "moral majority" that does this shit

---

Sad all this has happened to these victims, in all these companies where it happened.

But good it's all finally coming out, perhaps (in my naive hope) something will actually be done about it rather than token efforts of letting the abusers resign.

---

This explains why Henry hasn't been on-air lately.
---

It's just the deep state making stuff up to silence the true heroes of America

---

Really doubt Fox will let go of Hannity or Carlson. Theyll either spin this shit or just completely ignore it
---

just shutdown fox news already. no one will miss it

Here's the highlight of the Hannity and Carlson complaints

If that's the highlight of the Carlson accusations, they don't seem that bad compared to Hannity making a spectacle or Henry committing rape.

It doesn't mention how many times she appeared on his show before 2019. If she went from, say, appearing weekly to three times in a year, after the alleged proposal then that would suggest retaliation.
