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."

Pinging anyone who may have been wondering what happened to Andrea Tantaros and Fox News.

Besides Roger Ailes and others, Andrea is accusing Scott Brown (former US Senator from MA) of sexual harassment. I just heard Brown on the Howie Carr show. From what I heard, Andrea's claim vs. Scott Brown is preposterous.

I'm sure she was probably harassed by Ailes, though...

I’m sorry to read this. Andrea Tantaros was one of my favorites on Fox, she was great IMHO and is much more credible in my eyes than Gretchen Carlson.

I agree. I doubt we'll ever see her again on FNC now... :-(

I just heard Scott Brown on the Howie Carr show. I like Andrea, but from what I just heard from Brown, I think her claim against him is preposterous.

LOL She sounds like my son’s ex wife. “Daddy’s little princess” ended up being a flaming whore. Vindictive to the point that we now refer to her as “Smaug” (from Lord of the rings. )

There are some terrific women out there. I am proud to be one of them. You wouldn’t catch me dead on an online dating site (if I were single).. Too many whack jobs out there for a girl who is very safety conscience. Lord knows I would end up having to shoot someone.

Hard to know what to say. This whole thing saddens me as well.

I’ve always held Ms. Tantaros is very high regard; a real straight shooter as far as I was concerned.

However, the timing of this coupled with naming Scott Brown calls it into question somewhat.

I’ll have to wait and see like everyone else.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph. I read the linked article and I intend to read the PDF of the lawsuit that PghBaldy linked in #77 because her lawsuit and Gretchen's make me realize that I should have sued casino owners many moons ago for far more egregious behavior!

Hell, maybe I still can! Maybe I can claim long-term injury, depression, mental distress and a whole host of other maladies caused by them personally and also indirectly by permitting their management to engage in similar behavior without repercussions!

Andrea's cited instances are "laughable," by comparison to those I encountered on an almost daily basis. Of course, I and my colleagues were "provided" our "uniforms" i.e. work clothes.

I'm going to read the PDF to see if Fox News demanded a "dress requirement" for its "on-air-broadcast" females. If not, then those women are at least, partially to blame for their "nightclub-looking" apparel or slutty appearances.

And, you are right, dear RitaOK, MONEY rules and with them FAME was nice too. Several have written books and they were all paid in the $Millions.

I handled my own situation and that included some very public cracks across the faces of several, to which I didn't receive any repercussions either.

BTW, Roger Ailes sounds harmless to me. Annoying and disgusting to some or to most, but I would find him amusing and I would put him in his place ... make him a buddy. OLD MAN who loves to gossip. I guarantee I would have gotten along with him famously. I worked for two or three just like him and remained friends until their deaths.

Onyx I am with you on this one, when I was in college I applied for a job as a cocktail waitress the uniform was VERY low cut, I was not very well endowed the interviewer asked me if I had any objection to wearing a push up bra, I wanted the job and wore the damned bra made GREAT money in tips!!! I look at this CRAP today and just shake my head these things teach you to grow up with a strong spine, not having to run to a SAFE ZONE every time something unusual happens in life!!! WE are raising pansies Andrea is a disappointment in this situation, I thought she was a tough cookie!!!!

Could you read it for us? Some of us who’ve been around awhile, female, and out in the big world, might laugh at some of this stuff. I had mild flirtations to out and out threats of rape when I was in the workaday world. So dirty jokes and flirty behavior mean nothing to me. I didn’t like the guy who tried to kiss me in the supply cabinet area (what a jerk he was, lol!) but I didn’t run to the police either. I should have at the creep who locked the door to his office when I went for a job interview. That guy eventually ended up in prison. Lloyd Probber, I mean you!

Is Scott Brown the Cosmo guy?

I must say he always gave off sleaze vibes to me.

Brown used to be a US Senator from Mass.

He never struck me as someone who would harass a woman, much less the likes of AT.

But then again my definition of what constitutes sexual harassment is quite different than what the law says it is I’m sure.

It’s hard to believe Andrea would ruin someone’s career over essentially nothing, but then again Scott’s denial has credibility also. It’s all a shame, whatever the truth is.

Looks like Fox News could really be on the way out in regards to a reliable news network. Of course, many of us don't watch Fox because of their inept, unreliable reporting of the news, with a few exceptions of course.

Me, I never trusted them and like many here, viewed the channel as an avenue for eye popping eye candy female reporters, again, with a number of exceptions.

As for Andrea, and all of the others who have come forth in an attempt to get their version of the story out there, well, if there is merit to their accusations then it needs to be identified and dealt with. It's just too bad it had to come to all this.

No other outlet in MSM will hire her.

She'd do well at OANN.

I always thought Andrea was a tough little cookie but after reading the stuff she claimed was harassment by Brown and O’Reilly it turns out she's a snowflake when it comes to men.

Dosn’t look that great straight on, but most people don’t. Profile shots always better.

My husband calls her “Grouper” because of her over-sized mouth.

Well, dressing provocatively does not exactly say “decent lady”
