Sean Hannity vows legal action after sexual harrassment accusation
The Hill ^ | 04/24/2017 | BY JOE CONCHA

Posted on 04/24/2017 12:49:03 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Sean Hannity has vowed to sue a former guest of his program with "some of the finest and toughest lawyers in the country" after she accused the Fox News host of sexually propositioning her as allegations of sexual harassment continue to roil the network.

Conservative commentator Debbie Schlussel said in a Friday radio interview that Hannity once invited her back to his hotel room after an event at a Detroit bookstore.

"He had some event at a bookstore where he signed his book for people standing in line. He asked me to come meet him at this book signing," Schlussel told host Pat Campbell.

"So I met him there and it was very awkward. He had me stand up there with him while he signed books and I felt very weird. These people don't know me and they didn't come for me to sign their books. So then I left to get ready for the show and he said, 'Why don't you come back with me to my hotel?' and I said, 'No, I have to get ready for the show.'"

In a Monday interview, Schlussel clarified her remarks, saying that she didn't consider his conduct "sexual harassment" but still considered him "creepy."

Schlussel, 48, did not provide a date for the alleged conversation. Schlussel described another alleged incident of Hannity propositioning her after one of his programs, which she says she turned down.

“After that, I wasn’t booked on his show again. And he called me and yelled at me,” Schlussel said. “I got a very weird feeling about the whole thing, and I kind of knew I wouldn’t be back on his show.”

Hannity issued his own statement strongly denying the claims, calling them "a complete fabrication" by "a serial harasser."

Hannity sounds like Trump which is a good thing. Hannity says he’d rather not be the vanguard of the counter attack against the Left, just like Trump said he’d rather not be President. But both of them, for the sake of America, have said they will do whatever they have to do even if they don’t want to.

I like it when people do what they don’t want to do for the sake of something bigger than themselves. Confirms it is a genuine effort.

God bless them.

An hour into his radio program he has not identified Debbie Schlussel by name.

What man in his right mind would proposition that slimey transgender lookalike? GIVE ME A BREAK!

I am SICK and tired of females with their 'Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde' presto change-o from "I AM WOMAN I can do it MYSELF" to "Help help I'm a helpless little ol' butterfly who can't think for myself!!!" KNOCK IT OFF, LADIES.

This is NOT a war against O'Reilly OR Hannity or any other individual. This is a CAREFULLY ORCHESTRATED HIT ON CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOWS AND FOX TELEVISION!!!

Won't be too long before females are gunned down in the streets as THE ENEMY OF MAN. Many today ARE the enemy of man, no different than the Antifa thugs or other terrorists. Too many stories of females at work who ENTRAP MEN SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUING THEIR EMPLOYERS FOR THE BIG MONEY PAYOUT!

Make up your minds, B*TCHES. You are either STRONG AND INDEPENDENT or WEAK AND INCAPABLE OF HANDLING ADVERSITY but YOU CANNOT BE BOTH.

I repeat: YOU CANNOT BE BOTH!!!

Hey, look at that feminist.. At work she is TOUGH AND INDEPENDENT but after she SUES her employer for discrimination or harassment and lands herself in a courtroom SHE MAGICALLY BECOMES SUPER SOFT, SQUISHY, FEMININE AND HELPLESS!! "OHHHHH THE MENTAL ANGUISH, ARGGGGHHHH!!!!!"

Feminism destroyed females!

“After that, I wasn’t booked on his show again. And he called me and yelled at me,” Schlussel said. “I got a very weird feeling about the whole thing, and I kind of knew I wouldn’t be back on his show.”

Next: “And I found a pubic hair on my soda can.” I didn’t realize it was sexual harassment until my lawyer told me to say it because it would help liberals like me.

So then I left to get ready for the show and he said, 'Why don't you come back with me to my hotel?' and I said, 'No, I have to get ready for the show.'"

"Come back to my hotel" is not the same as "Invited her to his hotel room."

Said it here a few days ago that Hannity was next after Bill O’Reilly.

There will be multiple gals come forth. Not saying for a minute they are truthful, but the left knows that the more they can get to fabricate a story, the harder to fight.

I have listened to/watched Hannity for about 15 years. He is simply NOT that kind of a guy, and you can’t fake it for that long.

However, even if he was, I cannot believe that a pretty good looking guy like him, who is very famous, very connected and very wealthy would want to hook up with the likes of that woman. He could easily get a very good-looking young gal to mess around with...again, IF he was that kind of guy.

I hope that Sean does exactly the same as Trump does in lawsuits - don’t settle, don’t give in, ever. Fight to the death, and then sue her for defamation of character. Put her so through the ringer that no one will ever try that against you again - even if it costs a couple of million bucks to do so (which, as a former CPA, I can tell you is deductible as a defense of your reputation IS a defense of your income and assets).

The dude could have any women he wants which makes me doubt any claim by her.

Ann Coulter has been saying this exact same thing for years...

Feminists want women to be treated exactly like men, except when they want special handling or privileges.
