Andrea Tantaros has filed a suit against the media conglomerate Fox News and former CEO Roger Alies claiming that the company resembled the Playboy Mansion more than a newsroom in the way it was run.
According to a publishing in Esquire, the co-host for the popular Fox News show Outnumbered was recently banned from appearing on any Fox shows — including her own — as a letter from Dianne Brandi, the general counsel of Fox News stated.
Although Tantaros was to receive her salary the letter stated that she was banned from any and all Fox News premises, worldwide.
The reason for all the drama? At first Tantaros’ initial feelings were that Fox executives had issues with the cover photo of her new book Tied up in Knots, which showed the thirty-seven-year-old tied up and bound with ropes.
However, as the shock wore-off from the letter she received, Tantaros made an even greater connection to the root cause — she had accused CEO Roger Alies of sexual harassment the previous year as well as on-air personality Bill O’Reilly and former Massachusetts senator Scott Brown, of similar acts of misconduct in more recent months.
After Gretchen Carlson, a co-host at Fox News filed and won a $20 million formal sexual harassment case against Alies in July and over a handful of other women stepped forward accusing him of the same misconduct, Tantaros filed her own sexual-harassment suit in August in a New York court.
In her complaint, Tantaros claims that the Fox network operates behind the scenes “like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion–like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency, and misogyny,” adding that it was tolerated by a sleuth of Alies’ “lieutenants” who covered up his dirty deeds.
