Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson sexually harassed guest, lawsuit alleges

[RandomGuy]

(shocked face)


---------------------------------------



Fox News Channel stars Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Howard Kurtz were accused of sexual harassment by a frequent on-air guest in a lawsuit filed Monday that the network called frivolous and untrue.

In the same case, a former Fox employee said she was harassed and raped by news anchor Ed Henry, who was fired July 1 shortly after the network became aware of the accusations.

Henry’s lawyer, Catherine Foti, said Monday that her client’s accuser, Jennifer Eckhart, initiated and encouraged a sexual relationship.

Hannity and Carlson represent two-thirds of Fox’s lucrative prime-time lineup, while Kurtz hosts the weekend “Media Buzz” show. None of the men have been mentioned before in any misconduct allegations at Fox until the charges were made by Cathy Areu.

The lawsuit filed in New York describes Areu’s discomfort with a March 2018 incident on the set of Hannity’s show where the host allegedly put $100 on a desk and challenged the men on his staff to take her out on a date.

She said she was a guest on Carlson’s show in December 2018 and that after it was over, he told her he was staying in a hotel room in New York that night without his wife and children. In 2019, she said Kurtz invited her to his hotel room to discuss her hope of getting a full-time job at Fox. When she instead invited him to dinner with her and a friend, he declined, she said.

So he didn't fuck her, didn't misappropriate his position, and didn't show her his wang, Hannity's a piece of shit but this is just stupid. And btw she waited two years to bring it up, she must have hit that white girl age where Fox gives em the old heave ho

The left uses these shameless destroy tactics.

Out of curiosity, what does this have to do with politics? Same with COVID threads I suppose. It's telling that these things are in the political forum, since they are almost always a politically biased narrative.

If you were raped, why would harassment come into the discussion? That's like saying "He was murdered, and they made him feel uncomfortable"

the first covid thread was made in January, well before Trump made it political, this sub sometimes doubles for current event stuff.

Somehow courts and government have nothing to do with politics.

That's an incredibly stupid take.

Ms. Areu was a relatively regular face on The Sean Hannity Show until March 8, 2018. On that day, Mr. Hannity, on set and in front of the entire studio crew – and completely unsolicited – threw $100 on the set desk. He then began calling out to the men in the room and demanding that someone take Ms. Areu out on a date for drinks at Del Friscos. He repeatedly yelled, "who wants to take her on a date?" "Take her on a date to Del Friscos." Ms. Areu was completely mortified and made clear that she was incredibly uncomfortable with Mr. Hannity's misogynistic behavior by quietly pleading with one of her friends in the room to accept the money so that the humiliation would end.

loooooool

[Trainwreck2100]

didn't fuck her, didn't show her his wang, didn't misappropriate his position to force her to do something sexual, i guess i have to add that caveat for you since i thought the implication was there since he's being accused of "sexual harassment"

[RandomGuy]

loooooool

Thanks for proving my case, sporto.

It's about Fox News, the most powerful media arm of the Republican Party. I can't think of any Fox News related topic that wouldn't be political.

It's not uncommon for several related claims to be brought in a single lawsuit, particularly when the suit is against a former employer.

There are many comedies that end with the humiliation of a woman, so that can be funny.

It has to do with the general misogyny of the right, which seems to tolerate, and even encourage it.

It doesn't take a geenyus to find an overall pattern in how women are treated by the right, especially liberal ones. there seems to be some subconscious outrage on the part of the white men in conservativeland when a woman has the temerity to disagree.

[JamStone]

Yeah, in today’s hyper sensitive climate, some people and admittedly usually overzealous liberals have often gone overboard with calling out every little perceivable bad behavior as criminal, no matter how frivolous. Being a creep can be criminal. But being a creep is not always criminal. It’s like the social media attacks on that Lea Michelle Glee actress for being a bitch. Apparently, she was a bitch to EVERYBODY. But because one of the people she was a bitch to was black, all of a sudden being a bitch became racist. Stupid.

Same thing here. Hannity acted in poor taste. I’d even agree that it was inappropriate. But to call that as rising to the level of a sexual harassment criminal case is a reach, to say the least. I don’t give a shit about Hannity. If it really were harassment, he can rot in jail for all I care. But based on what is alleged, it’s pretty much a horse shit lawsuit.

Why would COVID not be a political issue when Trump is handling it like a retard?

She wanted the other men to stick up for her, but more than likely he's as big of a dick to them as he was being to her.

these are civil lawsuits, i dont know that there is any criminal investigation or case brewing

Thing is this entity is on the hook for having created an overall atmosphere of tolerance for it, and has lost its ass, repeatedly, in court for it, making any new cases waaay more likely to succeed, I would think.

The irony of this comment. This after you shared a story alleging a liberal news host is a pedophile :lol

tbh, my first reaction to this story was to see what she looked like...

After seeing a picture, this sounds fake all the way around.

[JamStone]

Fair enough.

I’d probably need to see the language of the statute or rule of law to see if it reaches to the level of actionable sexual harassment in a civil court. But just layman’s common sense, my gut instinct still tells me it’s not sexual harassment for him to simply embarrass her in the office by egging people to take her on a date. I mean, use common sense. It’s insulting. He’s a dick. But sexual harassment? I’m still a hard no on that.

The left is a cult and they'll do anything possible to silence dissenters. They censor people online, they do ad boycotts to silence TV hosts, they make it a nightmare to give speeches on college campuses, they routinely fire people based on nothing, they beat people in the streets, and they will makeup sexual assaults as well. Nothing about this is shocking because they are extremists.

It would be a great blessing to our country if people actually treated women equally to how society treats men. Currently we entertain their outcries like they are irritating children.

[Will Hunting]

Frivolously naming parties to a lawsuit in addition to the party you actually have a claim against just for the sake of being a litigation terrorist happens all the time - it creates leverage and it’s not something done exclusively by feminists.

The lawsuit against Carlson seems like bullshit but the crying about it ITT is ridiculous.

It pointless to converse with someone that intentionally misinterprets every comment to respond with absolute nonsense.

I didn't compare women to children I compared the way people treat women to how people treat children. Previous to that statement I was dreaming of a world where they were treated equally to men.

I want to go back to this how fucking hypocritical it is to look for a man to save her. She's supposed to be an equal but didn't have the balls to save herself
