Looks like a willing "victim" to me.

The sexual-harassment lawsuit filed last year by former Fox News personality Andrea Tantaros against the network’s executives has morphed into a lawsuit about the lawsuit, with Fox News now filing its own counterclaim.
Tantaros, former host of “The Five” and co-host of “Outnumbered,” filed suit in August 2016, alleging retaliation after she had taken exception to inappropriate remarks directed to her by former Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes. Ailes died earlier this month.
“Fox News masquerades as a defender of traditional family values, but behind the scenes, it operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency, and misogyny,” she stated in her declaration.
Tantaros is reportedly seeking as much as $23 million and an additional $26 million in punitive damages, plus attorney fees.
She also named Ailes successor Bill Shine and PR executive Irena Briganti in her original complaint, charging attempts had been made to intimidate her. She accused Bill O’Reilly of sexual harassment.
Last month, Tantaros filed a second action, accusing Fox News of a campaign of harassment and “digital character assassination,” using online social-media “sockpuppets,” whose “coded” comments, she claimed, showed she had been hacked by the network.
Fox News lawyers fired back Wednesday with their own countersuit, calling Tantaros’ new claims a “hoax” and seeking sanctions against her attorney, saying he had falsely accused Fox News of criminal conduct “to generate negative headlines for, and inflict maximum damage on, Fox News.”

At this point, I don’t give a rat’s patootie what happens at FOX anymore.
.........the “sanctions” ploy won’t fly 99 times out of a hundred!
One America news network
The children who now run Fox have finally learned that there is only one way to defeat bullies. It’s a shame they didn’t wake up and realize this a year ago.
She said it happened but she has to prove it
Looks like a shakedown by the slip and fall lawyers
Trump has the right idea never settle ....take it to court
Looks like a willing "victim" to me.
Agreed. Honestly, I do not understand these women who flip out when they get an off-colour remark AFTER they have spent thousands of dollars to turn their chests into flotation devices and wear the tight, revealing clothing to make sure everyone notices! How’s that for a run-on sentence?
As far as run-on sentences go, I would say, It is truthful!”
Salt the popcorn this might get good.
cat fight!
Lol!
As much as I love their two shows, The Daily Ledger and The Tipping Point, they have nothing else to offer at this point. Everything they have is canned (recorded) and repeated constantly. They also seem to run about a day behind a lot.
I do like their potential but they're not even in the game at this point with only two hours of programming per 24 hours.
OANN are doing baby steps right now but they've been baby steps for quite a while now. I hope they can grow big but I'm not really seeing it.
Now who? Who, wouldn’t hit on that?
She should have settled and got back on FNC, where she had a daily audience of several millions. Now, she may get a settlement, but she will be a forgotten unknown. She listened to the wrong lawyers.
Precisely. Bedroom eyes, short skirt (red at that)... in a professional setting on set.
I won’t use slut. But... this is not the pose of a professional person. No one should take her seriously. To say nothing of the forgotten twin bulwarks of American jurisprudence:
Presumption of Innocence
Burden or proof, preponderant beyond a reasonable doubt
Case Dismissed.
Ditto!
Yep.
I find her guilty and sentence her to 1 year and one month of confinement to my quarters. Red dress is optional.
