Fox News and Britt McHenry, a former on-air personality who joined the cable-news outlet after a stint at ESPN, have parted ways after reaching a settlement in a long-running harassment lawsuit, according to the network
“While Fox News is confident it would have prevailed in the lawsuit, we are pleased that we have been able to resolve this matter without further litigation,” the network said in a statement.
McHenry filed suit against Fox News in late 2019, alleging she had been denied opportunities at the company after reporting claims she was sexually harassed by her former co-host, George Murdoch, who is also known as Tyrus. He continues to work for Fox News.
McHenry’s suit, filed in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, had asked for a jury trial as well as more than $75,000 in damages.
At issue were claims by McHenry that Murdoch sent her harassing texts.

Britt McHenry, the Fox Nation commentator who is suing her former co-host George Murdoch (aka Tyrus) for sexual harassment, lost the phone containing text messages she says are central to her claims, according to a response filed by Fox News Media lawyers Tuesday.
Whether that’s a big deal for the case going forward depends on which legal team one asks.
McHenry’s lawyer, Lisa Bloom, told TheWrap, “Britt has already provided all of the relevant text messages, which she downloaded before she lost her phone, to the investigators and in discovery. We have also offered a forensic examination of her laptop and cloud to obtain any and all messages between her and Ms. Murdoch. She has nothing to hide.”
In the filing from earlier this week, however, Fox News’ lawyers wrote that they “do not concede in any way that the text log is complete or accurate” as a result.

Fox Nation commentator Britt McHenry’s sexual harassment lawsuit against her former co-host George Murdoch (aka Tyrus) can move forward, a federal judge ruled on Friday. But McHenry’s claims against Fox News’ parent company and two of its executives, John Finley and Monica Mekeel, have been dismissed.
In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled that Murdoch’s “communications [to McHenry], as pled, are readily construed to reflect sexual advances and propositions, albeit unusually crude and clumsy ones, towards her.” The judge also ruled that the text messages included in the complaint “do not affirmatively support the inference that McHenry cultivated Murdoch’s text messages to her, including those about his genitalia and sexual desires.”
Engelmayer denied Murdoch’s motion to dismiss McHenry’s claims that he retaliated against her for speaking up about his alleged behavior based on the “temporal proximity of Murdoch’s acts to the complaint...

Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren has apologized for a tweet about Kamala Harris that insinuated California’s junior senator slept her “way to the top with Willie Brown.”
Lahren’s tweet during the Democratic presidential candidate debate on Wednesday referenced Harris’ past relationship with former California Assembly Speaker and later San Francisco mayor in the mid-1990s.
“Kamala did you fight for ideals or did you sleep your way to the top with Willie Brown?” Lahren tweeted. She later linked to a USA Today story wherein Brown talked about his past relationship with Harris and acknowledged influencing her early career.
Brown served over 30 years in the California State Assembly, spending 15 years as its speaker and was widely acknowledged as one of the state’s most powerful politicians. Harris dated the married Brown despite a 30-year age gap and received her first significant political appointments from him.

Conservative firebrand and Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren on Thursday apologized for a comment about Sen. Kamala Harris’ personal life that she live-tweeted during Wednesday’s Democratic primary debate.
Instead of sticking to the debate like many media personalities, Lahren asked Harris a very personal question: “Kamala did you fight for ideals or did you sleep your way to the top with Willie Brown??”
After widespread criticism for stepping over the line, Lahren backtracked by saying, “I apologize for my comment on Kamala’s personal relationship. It was the wrong choice of words. There are many other things to take her to task for and I will stick to those.”

Fox News co-host Tyrus sent a series of lewd text messages to former co-host Britt McHenry, commenting on her “boobs” and threatening to send “another d— pic,” according to a HuffPost report late Thursday.
HuffPost’s Yashar Ali cited four unnamed individuals “familiar with the texts’ contents” — which resulted in a sexual harassment complaint from McHenry and his removal from the “Un-pc” show they had co-hosted on Fox News’ streaming service since its launch last fall. Tyrus, a former WWE wrestler under the name Brodus Clay, was given his own show on Fox Nation, “NuffSaid.”
In June, company reps said that McHenry’s complaints had been “independently investigated,” and that the network considered “the matter resolved.”

Fox News said Wednesday that it “resolved” a complaint levied against Tyrus, a comedian who appears on its streaming Fox Nation service, by Britt McHenry, who had been co-hosting a program with him.
The Fox Corporation-owned news company issued a statement a day after a report in “The Daily Beast” alleged McHenry had accused Tyrus, a one-time professional wrestler, of sending her her “unwanted and unsolicited text messages with lewd, sexual comments.”
“While we are not at liberty to discuss the details of any employee matter, we follow strict protocols when matters such as these are brought to our attention, and we make no exceptions,” the network said in a Wednesday statement. “The process works because of the extensive systems and measures we have instituted. This situation was independently investigated and we consider the matter resolved. We respect the confidentiality of all involved.”

Another said that both Smollett and the Chicago police department had damaged their reputations during the investigation.

Samantha Bee opened Full Frontal on Wednesday night by attacking Fox Nation, the new youth-targeting streaming service from Fox News that debuted Nov. 27.
Fox Nation costs $5.99 per month and features familiar Fox onscreen figures including Laura Ingraham and Jeanine Pirro as well as younger, new hosts including Tomi Lahren and Britt McHenry.
"It's like television, Grandpa, but you get it on the smaller screen that you use for writing racism on Facebook," Bee said at the top of her monologue, making a crack at Fox News' traditionally older audience.

Former ESPN hosts Jemele Hill and Britt McHenry traded barbs over the weekend after Hill accused McHenry of “racism” in a tweet.
“Does anyone actually watch this show?” McHenry asked her followers on Instagram on Friday, criticizing ESPN’s Bomani Jones and Pablo Torre and pointing to their show, “High Noon,” as an indication that the network prioritizes “filling demo’s over talent.”
“Be careful, your racism is showing,” Hill wrote on Twitter, sharing a screenshot of McHenry’s post.

“Had she just said she didn’t like the show, i wouldn’t have said anything. But she immediately suggested that they were on tv because of her race. These guys are my friends, and she’s a moron for belittling them in that way,” she later explained on Twitter.

Tomi Lahren, a rising presence on Fox News Channel, has ambitious plans — but Fox News viewers might not get to see any of them.
The conservative commentator will soon deliver twice-daily takes on national issues that move her. She is making visits to the U.S. border, the better to tell real-life stories on video of the U.S. officials who patrol it. And she wants to hold long-form interviews with newsmakers and celebrities who wouldn’t normally consider a sit-down with a Fox News personality — including comedien Kathy Griffin and activist Colin Kaepernick. “This is an opportunity for me to really sound off,” she says.
The reason core viewers could be left out: to get Lahren’s latest, they’ll have to subscribe to a digital offering — Fox Nation.

A former ESPN reporter has claimed on Twitter that she was laid off because she was “white” and “made too much.”
Britt McHenry has since deleted the tweets, which were issued in response to criticisms from the Twitterverse on her skills. However, the comments were screen captured by other users.
McHenry, who is now a Fox News commentator and host of Like It Or Not on Wttg Fox 5 in Washington, DC, was among those axed from the sports cable network in one of its first rounds of cost-cutting.
She brought up her dismissal on Twitter after being taunted about being dropped from NFL coverage. She was laid off by ESPN in 2017, claiming upon her exit that her conservative views were stifled.
In a reply to the Deadspin web site, McHenry tried to walk back some of her comments, saying, “I think there were a number of factors into laying me off.
