Fox News has agreed to pay $12 million to Abby Grossberg, a former Fox News producer who had accused the network of operating a hostile and discriminatory workplace and of coercing her into providing false testimony in a deposition.
Parisis G. Filippatos, a lawyer for Ms. Grossberg, said that the settlement concluded all of Ms. Grossberg’s claims against Fox and the people she had named in her complaints, which included the former host Tucker Carlson and some of his producers.
Ms. Grossberg’s legal team filed a request in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Friday to dismiss a remaining lawsuit against Fox in light of the settlement.
Ms. Grossberg said in a statement on Friday that she stood by her allegations, but she was “heartened that Fox News has taken me and my legal claims seriously.”
“I am hopeful, based on our discussions with Fox News today, that this resolution represents a positive step by the network regarding its treatment of women and minorities in the workplace,” she said.

In her lawsuit, Ms. Grossberg said she found a workplace tainted by misogyny and harassment, where male producers were openly sexist to her and her co-workers, made crude jokes and had decorated the space with photos of Nancy Pelosi, then the House speaker, in a swimsuit showing cleavage.
Ms. Grossberg never met Mr. Carlson, who worked mostly from his homes in Florida and Maine, but she corresponded with him frequently over email, text and video calls. Mr. Carlson’s staff in New York was led by Justin Wells, the senior executive producer. (Mr. Wells was fired by Fox in April.)
After filing her lawsuits, Ms. Grossberg drip-fed audio recordings from her time at Fox to other media organizations. The recordings showed, among other things, Mr. Carlson’s immense influence on the Republican Party; an admission by Rudy Giuliani, lawyer to former President Donald J. Trump, that he didn’t have evidence of voter fraud; and discussions between Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Ms. Bartiromo about his attempts to block President Biden’s election victory.
Mr. Filippatos, the lawyer for Ms. Grossberg, confirmed that he had been contacted by the office of the special counsel investigating Mr. Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and that he and his client were cooperating. At least 90 tapes had been retrieved and Ms. Grossberg’s legal team was forensically analyzing all of Ms. Grossberg’s devices in case there were any additional recordings, Mr. Filippatos said.
Ms. Grossberg said that she would not comment further on her accusations against Fox or her time at the company, but would “continue to speak out on issues and causes that I believe in, including journalism, equality, dignity and respect in the workplace.”

This is a calculated move on behalf of Rupert Murdoc k. They are trying to hurt Tucker in every way possible regardless of cost.
Who is he voting for in 2024?

Fox has a long history of this going back to Bill O'Reilly and Roger Ailes so no surprise here. Still seems weird you can be harassed by someone you've never met.

Thank goodness perceived, long distance misogyny is illegal. We are a better country as a result

There was a time it would have worked. We are no longer living in those times. MSM is retarded so I’m just going to enjoy them pissing away money and me supporting guys like Tucker even more because these assholes are bleeding cash and viewers.

Definitely pays to be a leftie activist penetrating companies and getting their "feels" hurt.

That's insane. FNC has become some sort of money laundering operation.

You can see the lawsuit already being drafted on Tucker with Fox giving her enough money for a good lawyer. Pretty transparent of Murdoch

I’ll take “things that never happened for a $1000, Alex.”
