The Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund is supporting a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Fox News and several of its anchors, including Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity.

The organization — which was founded in the wake of the #MeToo movement — is providing PR support to Cathy Areu, a former unpaid Fox News contributor who alleges she faced a “barrage of sexual harassment” at the network.

Fox News has pushed back aggressively on Areu’s claims, releasing messages that appeared to contradict her initial account and threatening to seek legal sanctions if her allegations were not withdrawn.

Areu and Jennifer Eckhart, a former associate producer at the network, filed suit on July 20 in federal court in New York.

Eckhart alleged that Ed Henry, the veteran correspondent and anchor at the network, had violently raped her at a hotel room in 2017. She also accused Henry of psychologically manipulating her and asking her to be his “sex slave.

Fox News filed a letter Wednesday threatening sanctions against Wigdor Llp, which initially represented Cathy Areu, one of the women who accused top Fox News talent of sexual misconduct in July.

Areu, Fox News’ lawyers at Proskauer Rose Llp say, engaged in “serious misconduct by making patently false allegations of sexual misconduct” against on-air hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Howard Kurtz and Gianno Caldwell.

Areu’s co-plaintiff, Jennifer Eckhart, also accused Ed Henry of misconduct. Fox News has not disputed the accusations against Henry from the two women and fired him in July.

Fox News host Ed Henry was fired earlier this month after the network concluded an internal investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct. Now, the former America’s Newsroom anchor is at the center of a lawsuit filed in New York federal court on Monday, one which also names hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Howard Kurtz, and Fox News.

The complaint was filed by former Fox Business producer Jennifer Eckhart and Fox News guest commentator Cathy Areu. It alleges that Henry attempted to force Eckhart into a sexual relationship, that he...

Updated, with additional Fox News comment: A day after she and a frequent Fox News guest filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the network and some of its major personalities, former Fox Business associate producer Jennifer Eckhart appeared on CBS This Morning to talk about her claims, including that she was “paralyzed with fear” while working at the network and that she believed that news anchor Ed Henry “had the power to destroy me.”

Fox News has pushed back against some of the claims she makes in her lawsuit (read it here) and said that it took “swift action” in terminating Henry on July 1 after it learned of her claims against him. Henry contends that his relationship with her was consensual.

In her lawsuit, Eckhart claims that Henry raped her and that she endured years of him subjecting her to sexual harassment, going into graphic detail in describing sexually explicit...

Former Fox Business producer Jennifer Eckhart and co-plaintiff Cathy Areu filed a lawsuit on Monday, alleging sexual misconduct against Fox News talent years after similar accusations led to the demise of the late CEO Roger Ailes.

Eckhart has accused former White House correspondent and anchor Ed Henry of rape. "After we met, and we had our photo taken together, he messaged me, 'Wow, you are way more beautiful in person,'" Eckhart said during a Tuesday interview with CBS This Morning's Jericka Duncan.

Eckhart said her interactions began in 2014 when she was working at Fox ...

CNN’s Alisyn Camerota reacted Tuesday to the latest lawsuit filed against her former employer, Fox News, accusing one host of rape and others of sexual assault, calling the network “rotten to the core.”

Speaking to senior media correspondent Brian Stelter, the “New Day” anchor asked if she could amend a statement she made four years ago, during a different conversation on accused sexual misconduct at the company.

“I remember four years ago, back in 2016, when you interviewed me about things that went on with Roger Ailes and you asked me then, ‘God, is Fox just rotten to the core?’ and I said something like, ‘No, it’s not rotten to the core. There are good people there just trying to do their jobs.’ I’d like to amend my answer now if I may,” she said.

(Updated with New York Times statement) “We’re off last week, it’s good to be back,” declared a plucky Tucker Carlson at the outset tonight of his Fox News Channel show.

And if viewers or critics were expecting the top-rated host to dive into controversies like a new lawsuit that alleges sexual harassment and retaliation by Carlson, they were barking up the wrong cable news tree. Neither that just filed complaint from former Fox Business Network associate producer Jennifer Eckhart and former Fnc guest Cathy Areu nor one of Tucker Carlson Tonight’s top and now ex-writers being exposed on July 11 for frequently posting racist, sexist and homophobic comments on a legal message board made the polemic cut on Fnc on Monday.

What did make the cut was a sharp bombardment of a major media rival that has never had many fans in Rupert Murdoch’s empire.

Proclaiming modestly...

Ed Henry, who was recently fired from Fox News, and other talent from the conservative cable news network were accused of sexual misconduct in a new lawsuit filed on Monday.  In the lawsuit filed by legal representatives for Cathy Areu, a guest who appeared multiple times on Fox News, and Jennifer Eckhart, a former associate producer for Fox Business, Henry is accused of sexual harassment of both women. Eckhart also alleged Henry raped and sexually assaulted her. Additionally, Areu accused Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and other men employed by Fox News of sexual harassment. In response to the filing, Fox News released a statement denying the allegations against Carlson, Sean Hannity and Howard Kurtz,...

Feminist group UltraViolet has called for an independent investigation into the sexual harassment accusations against Fox News hosts Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Howard Kurtz and contributor Gianno Caldwell that were detailed in a lawsuit on Monday.

“The allegations that Fox News’ Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity also took part in and fostered this toxic culture is hardly surprising. Fox News may deny these allegations, but we’ve seen the network lie time and time again, provide cover, and even take major losses to subsidize predators and propagandists,” Shaunna Thomas, the co-founder and executive director of UltraViolet, said. “Only a transparent, independent investigation into Carlson, Hannity, Kurtz and Caldwell that is made public can be trusted.”

Thomas also said the lawsuit’s revelations about former host Ed Henry, who was accused of raping a then-production assistant at the network and was fired earlier this month, were “nothing short of horrifying” and...

Fox News Channel and several of its hosts have been named in a suit that alleges that the network did little to address reports of sex trafficking, sexual assault and harassment and retaliation perpetrated by several of its most popular on-air personalities.

In the legal complaint, former Fox Business employee Jennifer Eckhart alleges that fired anchor Ed Henry sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions, once while she was restrained in handcuffs, while both worked for the network. Eckhart says that after she tried to distance herself from Henry following the last alleged attack, and after she alerted her superiors to...

Fox News and some of its top on-camera stars face new accusations of misconduct in a lawsuit filed Monday by two women. One woman accused Ed Henry, a host who was fired by Fox News earlier this month, of sexual assault as well as harassment — while a second woman who frequently appeared as an on-air contributor accused Henry, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Howard Kurtz and others of sexual harassment by dangling the prospect of a full-time job in exchange for suggested sexual favors.

The suit — filed on behalf of Jennifer Eckhart and Cathy Areu in U.S. District Court — also said that Fox News executives were aware of sexual misconduct accusations against Ed Henry in 2017, three years before firing him, and that the network tried to “take credit” for doing the right thing with its July 1 announcement of his termination.

“In reality, Fox News knew that Mr. Henry had engaged...

(Updated with Fox News & Ed Henry attorney statements on lawsuit) Tucker Carlson is returning to Fox News Channel tonight after a short vacation, but along with the cabler newser itself, Sean Hannity and the now fired Ed Henry, the top rated host also finds himself in the center of a whole new legal spotlight of alleged misconduct at the now Suzanne Scott and Jay Wallace-run outlet.

“It is widely documented in the public record that Fox News has not only cultivated and fostered sexual harassment and misconduct, but has consistently accepted and rewarded it,” says a sex trafficking, sexual harassment, gender discrimination and retaliation lawsuit from former Fox Business Network associate producer Jennifer Eckhart and former Fnc guest Cathy Areu filed today against the Rupert Murdoch-owned outlet, its former reporter and some of its biggest and loudest primetime hosts.

“Nevertheless, Fox News would have the public believe that...

One former Fox News staffer and one frequent on-air guest at the network filed suit in federal court Monday, alleging they had been harassed individually by Ed Henry, the Fox News anchor who was fired by the cable-news outlet earlier this month following a complaint about “willful sexual misconduct in the workplace,” and their disclosures threaten to revive an era that the Fox Corp.-owned media company had hoped to put behind it after the ouster of Roger Ailes.

One of the plaintiffs, Jennifer Eckhart, alleged she was assaulted by Henry, while the other, Cathy Areu, claimed in the filing that Henry sent her sexually graphic photos and messages. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York by the Wigdor LLC law firm, which has represented several Fox News staffers in the past in complaints that alleged sexual or racial discrimination at the company.
