A former Fox News associate producer and a show guest are suing the network over allegations of rape and sexual harassment.
Jennifer Eckhart, a former associate producer on Fox Business, and Cathy Areu, a network guest, filed a federal lawsuit accusing recently-fired news anchor Ed Henry of rape and Tucker Carlson, Howard Kurtz, and Sean Hannity of sexual harassment.
The lurid details aren’t important. What matters, as always, is credibility. And in the case of both these women, their credibility is suspect.
Does this sound like a rape victim to you?
From Washington Examiner:
“I stand for all victims who have been mistreated, harassed, assaulted, and even worse, at the hands of those in power, and the institutions that continue to support them,” Eckhart said in a statement. “My decision to speak out was not an easy one, but I refuse to let fear of retaliation, victim shaming and further attacks intimidate me into remaining silent. I am hopeful that my decision to file this action will result in positive change for women at Fox, and for all victims in the workplace, and I am honored that other women have come forward since my decision to do so.”
Rape victims don’t generally stand atop the battlements waving the bloody shirt. She seems very proud of herself for standing up for “all victims.” And how courageous she is to refuse “to let fear of retaliation, victim shaming and further attacks intimidate me into remaining silent.” Eckart knows that what little opposition she’s going to experience will be drowned out in a tidal wave of support from the left. Her moribund career just got a new lease on life and Areu will once again be in demand as a guest.

Wait a doggone minute! I thought that #MeToo died with the Biden campaign?
Sure as long as the charges are against Republicans or Conservative, the Demoncrats and Lame Street Media will demand “justice”.
Areu is right on the borderline of the Hot/Crazy matrix but it seems Horndog Henry didn’t have the highest standards.
It sounds like she just hitched her wagon to this suit where Eckhart has a stronger case in hopes of getting a settlement. Which she likely will.
Perhaps I will give a Shiite when Dems are held to the same standard.
Liz Weil got a $30,000,000++ settlement after o’reilly sent her some inappropriate emails. These other chicks want to get in on that action.
See this thread:

Fox already has discounted Areu’s chages; she’s a nut case (see post 51 at the link):
“Based on the findings of a comprehensive independent investigation conducted by an outside law firm, including interviews with numerous eyewitnesses, we have determined that all of Cathy Areu’s claims against FOX News, including its management as well as its hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity & Howard Kurtz and its contributor Gianno Caldwell, are false, patently frivolous and utterly devoid of any merit,” the statement said.
The case against Ed Henry is more complicated; Fox fired him after the same investigation.
Hopefully they don't settle. Let them go to court.
Good, don't give that shrew one cent.
“patently frivolous and utterly devoid of any merit”
So, she’s a democrat then?
It takes an oncoming election to bring people like her out.
She’s a bloody liberal hard core fake charges ensue.
Indeed
And in the case of both these women, their credibility is suspect.
With a bag over her head, maybe....
That’s a very good point and needs to be repeated.
Meanwhile Joe Biden raped someone, and not a word on Tara Reid.
FNC is flirting with killing their evening line up to help defeat Trump. All four Murdoch women and that little snot Paul Ryan want Trump gone. They are trying to figure out if they can remain on top with ratings by firing their conservative evening line up and offering up the leftist crap of Fredo Wallace and the angry liar Brazil. You are watching a self-immolation by FNC.
If they fired Tucker Carlson and Hannity, OAN or Newsmax would try to hire them and whoever got them with the proper financing could really take off....
We have two liberal nut case networks in CNN and MSNBC, we could use a 2nd reasonably conservative network to counter Fox News.....
If that photo was any more airbrushed, you’d have to put a band name on it...
Hannity, Tucker AND Kurtz? Talk about overlaying your hand.
I would check those bank records, for a check from Soros
