Former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros says in a lawsuit she was sexually harassed by former network chief Roger Ailes and other top executives.
Former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros says in a lawsuit she was sexually harassed by former network chief Roger Ailes and other top executives.
She says in the suit that the network "operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency and misogyny."

If it is as she says, she was - and remains - a tough cookie. She said this went on for a long time, that she spoke to her higher-ups more than once, and that nothing was done. She says that after making them aware they seemed to ratchet up the retribution.
I grew up in a different time, and worked in a male dominated field for a number of years. Twice I was “harassed” (molested) and stopped same by physical response (one smack in face one knee in groin. A third time it was more spooky and I went to HR (whatever it was called in the 70s), as well as started carrying a deterrent device.
Andrea Tantaros is in a very exclusive business; if she left Fox, where would a vocal conservative go? What network would offer her a job? According to her allegations, she stayed, put up with a lot of crap, tried to get somebody to make it stop, tried to continue working, got targeted by bosses, got pulled off air but held to contract - not allowing her to appear elsewhere, saw that there would be no changes, saw that she was on the sh!t-list, and decided to file suit.
She is a good, smart, tough commentator; sometimes too tough in my view, but she was good. She will get her day in court to lay out her claims, and we will find out then, I guess.
Telepathy! I have been thinking of you so much lately!
I’m in an internet dive this summer, but expect improvement by Monday. Stuck on my Android and I simply can not function on this itty bitty keyboard.
Thanks for the ping. I see you are kicking it in the late night hours and I have been fading on you all, way too early. Love you! Rita
I wish rising to theatrical stardom was as easy as shown in All About Eve. Great movie, totally unrealistic in that regard.
I met her at a njrtl banquet dinner. She seemed very true to her heart and to the pro-life movement, she talked about her relationship with her disabled brother who passed away in his late teens...
I think they deep-sixed her for her pro-Trump positions, and she's helping them understand the error of their prejudice.
I believe Rush!

It’s funny.......right before I saw your ping my wife had said virtually the exact same thing along the lines of “girl grow a pair”
She got hit on constantly as a young girl working in a male environment especially as trade show candy.....girls who promote at the booth and steer men to the real salesmen
She had an older boss hit on her for decade....she finally relented ...,extremely disappointed was her discovery
In the work in environment I’ve been in women often give as good as they get
Unless sex is demanded or you’re fired then....this is just a stab at some cash
Like you said women used to know how to shut down a Horndog....now they shrink into victimhood
Yet they think they are soooooo strong
Strong is my great grandma balancing 7-8 kids in a row starting when she was a teen her self on a hardscrabbl east Mississippi farm and watching several of your babies die and your man trot off to war maybe never to come back and surviving fevers and the depression
That’s strong women....the Fox are loud and demanding
Not to be confused with strong
We all have histories like that and my women ancestors 1861-1877 had it even worse
Probably another good reason for Trump not to pick a radio host or fox news person.
I think Brown is innocent though.
