OT Lawyers, Andrea Tantaros is in need of representation

Former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros is in need of legal counsel yet again, but this time she’ll be plugging that deficit on her own–by representing herself pro se.

Tantaros has now gone through three distinct sets of legal counsel in the long-and-winding case against her former employer and a social media maven. She is suing Fox News, social media “pioneer” Peter Snyder and the estate of Roger Ailes over allegations of sexual harassment, unauthorized surveillance and online “sock puppet” harassment. The defendants have rubbished Tantaros’ claims as a “hoax” meant to gin up publicity for her literary ambitions.

When Tantaros initially filed the lawsuit against Fox News and Snyder in April 2017, the former Outnumbered and The Five co-host was represented by Judd Burstein, one of the nation’s top litigators who runs a boutique law firm out of Manhattan.

Burstein left the case in September of last year, citing “an irretrievable breakdown in the attorney-client relationship

Christopher Parlo, with global law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, picked up the slack soon after Burstein’s departure.

Parlo’s time on the job was a little over two months

Parlo kept mum about the exact terms of and reasons for his and his firm’s sayonara, but did note, “Our firm is not the author of and is not counsel on the proposed Amended Complaint or its attachments. We will, however, assist Ms. Tantaros in her transition to pro se status.”

Prior to Parlo’s departure, Tantaros hired-and-burned-through another New York City attorney-at-law, Tor Ekeland. Ekeland is one of the premier technology and computer law attorneys in the country. He lasted for a good two weeks starting January 16–but promised to file a notice of withdrawal sometime today–and will leave declining to say exactly why. Strike three it is.

As for Tantaros’ legal credentials? They’re non-existent. She majored in French and journalism at Lehigh University.
