Had not heard that she was involved in the sex harassment suit. But then again, this is the New York Times.

Her Scott Brown accusation is ridiculous and calls the entire complaint into question

No, she is. Bit article on here yesterday.

They all still took their HUGE ####ing paychecks each week though for a long time

Some bosses have said TERRIBLE Things to me in manhattan regarding me being conservative.

I cursed, took a walk around Rock Plaza, and went back to work.

Didn’t sue, didn’t cry, did argue back.

geez...

Ever notice that many women in TV work for sexual abusers…until they can’t come to terms on a new contract? Then they run to the media with their story of victimhood. Strange.

It was reported on a different news source that Sen Scott Brown “harassed” her by putting his hand on her waist.

Brown denied it...vigorously.

Why didn’t Andrea come forward when it happened? Why wait years?

Andrea has devolved into another feminazi.

She and others can always find harassment when ever they want. Yet another air head who is looking for a semi-retirement payday.
Oh no he touched me, or he said I look good in the dress, Good grief get over it. I have had women say all sorts to me and never once did I go crying about it. Hell go to a bar or club and a woman will feel my ass ,or get a compliment , but I don’t go all drama over it.

Shame. Whether this stuff is true or not, her career is probably over now. Tough for any employer to consider hiring a litigious job applicant.

Are these the kind of “complaints” that Tantaros is speaking of?

Well in some cases one must choose whether to fish or cut bait. A person that is bad enough to make a royal stink to the public about, is a person you wouldn’t want to be working for, unless it was his initiative and really had a change of heart.

Beyond fed up with former FNC bimbettes crying about sexual harassment. They’re just piling on at this point. Their contracts weren’t renewed, as in the case of Carlson, or they were suspended for violating company policy, in the case of Tantaros. FNC made these hothouse flowers well known and well to do. Now they bite the hand that fed them. Hell hath no fury...

This suggests another possibility — that she might have felt flattered at first. Don’t know, of course. But if she was foolish and felt flattered when she was being treated as an object, she could be like, now I am wiser, why continue.

At any rate, not every interpersonal issue deserves the Jerry Springer treatment.

Could be a problem with double standards too, for all we know. Did they knowingly flirt? If so, instead of getting all righteously outraged at the results, they could confess a lesson learned. Playing with fire can burn you. And preach prudence to future generations.

I’m with you. Not a single one of us has any idea what has transpired and quite frankly the guy could be scum and 100% of what she says to be true. I’ll wait until all the facts come in. I don’t understand this fascination of those who immediately lay waste to a female because she makes a claim until all the facts come in. It’s much easier I guess to trash and burn. You’ll rarely ever see those who were then found to be wrong come back in here and state as such....it is forgotten and then ignored

I am getting tired of hearing about sexual harassment complaints. It seems to me that many are without basis by unhappy women. These women should invoke Sharia Law. That would end such nonsense!

I’ve read her brief...

It is ridiculous.

Asking someone to twirl around so they can look at you is sexual harassment? When you are in an ENTERTAINMENT industry??

Say what you want- it is a NEWS show or whatever... but they generally do not put ugly people on TV

Unless someone says or implies “have sex with me or you’re fired” this is crazy.

I realize everyone is not me but.....I’ve never felt so helpless that I didn’t know how to handle harassment of any kind. Once it happened I let them know it is not okay at all. Then I was ready to accept the consequences and deal with it from there. Sounds like all these women just accepted it for years as part of the job and then once Fox didn’t want them anymore said...okay it’s not okay anymore. I have no respect for that.

She was gone from the 5 because she wrote a book which had to be vetted by Fox per contract prior to publication - she skipped that step and was demoted and then gone.

One of the things Fox sells is sex. Us old guys can’t keep our eyes off the legs and boobs. They are also smart. What a combination to capture ratings. The job requirements are probably in their contracts and include looking good. Of course that is no excuse for sexual harassment, but would mean that there is a lot of frank talks about appearance and positioning on set. And the management probably does ask them to model their appearance.
