NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Fox News employee who says she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder after being bitten by bedbugs at work filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the owner of the Manhattan office tower where she worked.
Jane Clark, 37, a 12-year veteran of Fox News, a unit of News Corp, said she complained to human resources after being bitten three times between October 2007 and April 2008. She said she was ridiculed and the office was not treated for months.
Beacon Capital Partners, which owns the tower in midtown Manhattan, said in a statement that it had not been made aware of the problem and that it was the responsibility of tenants to manage infestations.
"As a prudent step, we are bringing in outside, independent experts to review the situation," the statement said.
The suit did not say how much Clark was seeking in damages.

This is Faux News we’re talking about, so it’s no wonder they did nothing for this woman’s condition: neither a dead blonde nor a white bronco were involved, nor could OJ be tied to it.
She needs to be put up on a stage and laughed at for hours for being such a ninny.
What is she doing with a bed in her office? :)
Good one, Sarge.
Hey! Bed bug infestation is a huge epidemic in NYC. It’s not funny at all.
Hugh who? And what does he have to do with bedbugs?
Check out FReeper lore Here! :-)
The bedbugs are being Fair and Balanced.
We bite, you decide.
Thanks.
Word for the day: bitchyabootiefobia.
I cannot decide which is worse, Shemp Smith, Bill O’Reilly, or bedbugs.
Ah what the heck, I will opt for the bedbugs being the lesser of evils at Fox. LOL
Misspelled word in headline. Should read “huge”. Hugh is a man’s name. I’ve seen this word misspelled many times on FR and it drives me crazy.
DDT. Try DDT.
The mis-use of “Hugh” is series.
Your kidding, right?!
Let a n00b guide you to FReeper Lore! :-)
Scroll down to Hugh. :-)
Yeah, we're about 35 years too late!
