Sean Hannity threatens legal action after Fox News guest claims he invited her back to his hotel and then cut her from his show after she rejected his advances
Debbie Schlussel said the prime time host invited her back to his hotel room and when she rejected his advances, she wasn't invited to perform on his show
In a tweet, she also said Hannity was angry when she 'briefly became redhead'
Hannity slammed the allegations and said Schluessel was 'attention-seeking' before threatening legal action against
Hours later, Schlussel said she never accused Hannity of sexual harassment and expressed her disbelief that her comments were viewed in that manner
In 2010, Schlussel accused Hannity of demanding $200k in flights and hotels when attending events for his charity, which was revealed to be completely false Fox News host Sean Hannity has been forced to deny he sexually harassed a former guest on his popular cable news program.
Debbie Schlussel said on Friday that the married anchor invited her back to his hotel in Detroit after the pair met up at a book signing, and that after she turned down the father-of-two's advances she was not invited back on his show.
Schlussel also said Hannity, whose show draws an average of more than two million viewers a night, got angry when she turned 'redhead' and claims the veteran broadcaster asked her 'creepy' questions about her pants size.
In an interview with Tulsa, Oklahoma-based radio host Pat Campbell, she said: 'This kind of stuff is all over the place at Fox News and anything that has to do with Sean Hannity.'
Then on Monday, Schlussel gave an interview expressing her disbelief over the coverage of the story, saying that she never accused Hannity of sexual harassment.

Actually, I think she looks like Sam Kinison’s goofy BROTHER. :-P
What about her Freedom Concert accusations?
Forget her accusations regarding the personal stuff. Who knows what happened there, but she does lay out some facts about his charity that are disturbing—hardly any money going to the vets and their families and huge sums going for Sean’s personal expenses ($200,000 for private planes and hotel expenses per concert).
Sean has never cleared this up and he needs to!
I think Debbie exposed this scandal and his defense is to attack her and change the subject.
You’ve a right to your opinion. God bless America :)
Hannity should just say that he wanted the bed made up and he mistook her for the maid.
Last I heard of her, some two-plus years ago, she was doing movie reviews once a week on Michael Medved’s radio show. I say a couple years ago, because his show was dropped by our local talk radio station. She may still be doing reviews, but trust me, neither she nor Medved are missed, in the least.
This could all have been about her getting attention, since she’s probably been dropped, tossed aside, ignored, whatever. But now, the loonie libs will give her a megaphone and 5 mins of glory, if only to boost her name search on the web.
Eh, with O’Reilly it wasn’t too hard to believe the accusations. We’ve all seen his on-air meltdown tape from way back and heard the bizarre suggestive voice mail he left on a producer’s(?) machine. O’Reilly comes off as a complete, pompous d-bag.
Hannity, on the other hand seems pretty transparent and genuine. He reminds me of the people I grew up with - hard-working, blue collar, self deprecating, and sincere. He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed and can be repetitive with his talking points, but he is the kind of guy I would be happy to have as a neighbor.
I hope he does strike back in court.
The Left took down O’Reilly and now they’re going after Hannity the same way. So glad Hannity is fighting fire with fire.
lol
The "incident" allegedly occurred in the early 2000's. She used to be a frequent guest on Fox News as a conservative blogger type. She's old news now.
Fox news is gone. Next Sean will be gone. Fox is nothing more than liberal light, with exception of a few, and l get my news from OAN.
Don’t just threaten, JUST DO IT!
No matter,sue her.She has to get down on her knees and apologize. She said she wasn’t invited back on his show because she didn’t go to the hotel. She has been after him for years.I remember her from before.
The “conservative writer” is Linda Graham, maybe?
Look and see who’s behind this smear campaign and the ugly face of Hillary Clinton will emerge. O’Reilly’s claims had been out there for years but nothing has ever been claimed against Sean. Now suddenly he’s being accused? Way too convenient...
Wonder if she’s ever been to Dallas?
Their ratings will plummet like a rock once the children get done destroying what Daddy built with their ignorant liberal phlegm-spew.
Nice going, crease-wipes. We'll enjoy watching you burn billion$ of what would have been your inheritance at the altar of venal lefty groupthink. You simple fart stains.
Medved and Hugh Hewitt two of the biggest RINO
‘s on the airways. Off the air here in SD. Don’t miss them and better yet don’t look for them.
Fox Smox i say.
Hannity and Carlson should get out why the getting is good.
Of course neither will take a pay cut.
Even as a matter of principle?
OAN might be to conservative for either one of them?
Sean has never cleared this up and he needs to!
I think Debbie exposed this scandal and his defense is to attack her and change the subject.
You are wrong. From the article:
Those claims were all revealed to be completely false however by Freedom Alliance in a statement soon after the post was published, with Schlussel having first published without approaching the charity for comment.
The charity said that not only did Hannity pay for his own flights, cars and hotel rooms at every event he attended, but he also was one of their biggest individual donors as he gave his money and his time.
'Sean Hannity has contributed $100,000 to the Wounded Warriors Foundation, over $200,000 to the Freedom Alliance, and over tens of thousands of dollars to other military charities and individuals,' said the charity in a statement.
'We only make this information public because of the outrageous slander against him.'
The charity itself refuted the claims - Sean didn't have to. Debbie Schlussel never had any proof and only had one unnamed source.
Debbie has been flinging false stories about a lot of people, including the Palins. Our own Jim Robinson had problems with her. She didn’t expose Sean’s charity, she made false accusations. The fancy hotels and SUVs were donated, and Sean donated his own time and money.
