Them rules are the rules after all...

Andrea Tantaros has filed a lawsuit alleging that executives ignored multiple complaints about the disgraced former Fox News head's behavior in 2015, NY Mag reports.
After she refused to back down, she says she was first demoted then eventually taken off the air in April 2016, according to the suit.

Them rules are the rules after all...
I believe her. What’s that old saying, “She’s beautiful when she’s angry”. I wondered what had really happened to her. This may have been the start of that final avalanche of female accusers that cost Roger Ailes his job. He probably thought he was too big to fire. Time will tell. The firing was far more brutal than it had to be. The Murdoch boys may regret acting in such haste, if Fox ratings continue their downward plunge.

Reading this story, and being familiar with the history, I smell the odeur of Cankles. Ugh, (holding nose).
I’m with you. She was solidly conservative and always had rock solid answers and rebuttals. Very very hot and a bulldog.
I knew something was up when they let her go. But she never said anything. I quit watching the 5 after she left, Gutfeld is such a joke, not to mention Juan Geraldo, Julie somebody etc. Dana Perino is not much better. got really pissed when she realized Jeb wasnt gonna get her back in the wh.
Only Andrea and Quifoyle and Bolling have the smarts. And Waters when he’s on.
Feel sorry for Hannity, the only one holding down the fort.
Once again, it’s London papers who inform Americans.
I have really been wondering about Andrea. Googled news on her yesterday. Her continued silence seemed almost ominous, like a black out, so it turns out it was a very serious situation for her, and keeping her mouth shut at the time her book was released makes a little more sense knowing why.
I am sorry to hear these allegations seem to be proving true about Ailes. (And I was never a fan of the blond Gretchen Green or whatever.) For years, it was Ailes who brought out of FOX a conservative’s answer to the Leftist dominion of the news.
For that, and for while it lasted, I have to be grateful. FOXMegyn News Corp, now, is dead to me. I watch Lou Dobbs and only occasionally Hannity. Can not tolerate the Lefty guests and the dumber FOX pundits.
Meh. So they threw conservatives an occasional bone, that didn't make them conservative.
FOXM has become a bone now, that’s exactly correct.
In the beginning, though, it was nearly stunning to be able to hear conservative guests and conservative pundits in one place. Without FOX, it was only radio for many of us.
If this allegation is true, and the accumulation of evidence suggests that it might very well be true, Fox news is in for a huge financial hit. The fact that she filed complaints in 2015 takes it completely out of the "he said, she said" fact pattern and into one of a simple failure to respond to a sexual allegation complaint coupled with a demotion and a reduction in job responsibilities.
Combined with the growing evidence against Roger Ailes, Fox is looking at a very expensive potential liability.
I'm not sure that any of this has anything to do with the political stance of Fox and its treatment of Trump and especially its mistreatment of Ted Cruz. More portentous is the takeover of actual management by Murdoch and eventually by his leftward leaning sons.
No matter how we conservatives condemn Fox for lack of purity, it was nevertheless a breath of fresh air in an otherwise arid news atmosphere.
Fire is getting visible....not just smoke now.
Andrea Tantaros was my favorite female talking head....smart and never mean or crass.....always with class.>>> and from allentown, pa waited on tables at her dad’s restaurant. love her. Rush calls her the tarantula.
too small a picture doesn’t count.
I thought she was on paid suspension for not letting Fox vet the cover of her book? I must be behind.

Julie Banderas.
Has anyone seen her lately on the air? She’s usually on Saturday afternoons. The guest host, usually Arthel Neville, says she’s filling in for Julie.
She looks a lot like Andrea.
Julie Banderas.

Didn’t she take leave to hatch a little one?
I KNEW IT!
STOP IT! It’s called sexual harassment. You can’t do this in the workplace. He was her BOSS.
Julie Banderas is one of the most beautiful women in the world. She has perfect skin, hardly even needs makeup. VERY HOT!
“Wow, she’s in a position partly because she is photogenic and this is sexual harassment?”
It is sexual harassment. Coming from any man in the workplace it would be iffy, depending on the relationship and if joking around is par for the course. A normal person could have fun with it. A snowflake might have to seek therapy. It would depend on the situation. Joking around with a co-worker — no big deal — and people did that back in the ‘70s and ‘80s before PC became fashionable. That was back when it was fun to go to work.
But because the dirty old man was her boss, it’s glaring, and illegal, because it’s someone who has power over you.
If my boss told me to “twirl”, — just eewww.
Obama is complaining about being "forced out of office."
Is this the first step of a scheme to stay in the White House?
I’m curious. Have you ever heard of a sexual harassment lawsuit against a porn producer?
