Two women filed a lawsuit against Fox News in a New York federal court Monday, alleging rape and sexual harassment at the hands of some of the network's top talent, including the recently fired Ed Henry and primetime stars Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson.
Jennifer Eckhart, a former associate producer at Fox Business, accuses Henry, the former co-anchor of "America's Newsroom," of rape and other forms of sexual violence. Her co-plaintiff, Cathy Areu, a regular guest on the network, filed sexual harassment claims against Henry, as well as Hannity, Carlson and the "Media Buzz" host Howard Kurtz. The four men have also been sued in their individual capacities.

Does anybody other than me think it is mighty suspicious that the ones charged are the most watched and the most effective conservatives on Fox news?
Now we can wait for our old friend Gloria Allred (the queen of dragging weeping accusers before the cameras) to go through her routine on TV. I don't know if any of the charges are true but if these women can't produce concrete evidence they should be sued to the fullest extent of the law.

I am so sick of people yelling "indiscretions" at the top of their lungs without a court trial. We live in a country that stands on "innocent until proven guilty" but it seems like a segment of society want to skirt all of that and just make accusations.

Cathy Areu? Has anyone her seen and heard this disgusting leftist lunatic being interviewed as a guest on Tucker Carlson? She is crazy with a capital C.

FOX will cave and these people will lose their jobs! America has descended into a third world dump. Truth and justice, right and wrong, faith in God have disappeared! The millennials cancel culture is 80% complete! Unless real Americans rise up and slaughter Biden in November to send a clear message that we have HAD ENOUGH, we are over as a representative democracy! Nobody will be safe! My home has a Tudor front with dark brown paint...I will become a racist and will be in jail for shooting those trying to burn my home down! Stand up and fight, America or stay on your knees cowering in fear! I will fight!

As I wrote before when this article was posted yesterday... It's BS. It's obvious that they are going after Fox's most watched and most trusted journalists because they are EFFECTIVE. This is what libs do. It's predictable and stupid.
I don't think Hannity and Carlson will just sit there and let the false accusations take root.

Look at the timing. It's Dems hoping to silence the opposition at a critical time, just as the election is heating up. Politics at its smelliest.

Some of this is pretty weird, especially with Ed Henry being away donating a body part to his sister. I wouldn’t be surprised if these two women were plants.

Things are coming to a head. And, the other side is trying to take out the most successful Truth Tellers
before they launch their attack to de-legitimize the Attorney General and push back against the upcoming
Deep State indictments.

Typical Democrat modus operandi. Sexual harassment claims only work against conservatives, so they use this ploy over and over. Biden, meanwhile, gets a pass.

Does anybody remember Andrea what’s-her-name of the original Jive at Five? She got $10 million from Fox. and Roger Ailes hide. I can’t remember her last name except that I’ll bet she’s back as the hostess at her family's Greek diner In Allentown, PA. These two women suing the Fox men will meet the same fate, win or lose their law suits. I hope The guys and Fox fight this to the end and the careers of these two women are ruined.

Right #5 I never understood how Areu could ever be invited on the show - that woman is fruits and nuts.

We know, historically, that it is the liberal contingents in media that are teh most egregious when it comes to sexual harassment. That they target ONLY the most watched and conservative among the Fox News contingent, tells me they are liars.

So pretty sure Hannity won't let this slide. He is doesn't take slander lightly. Neither should the others.

Cathy's career is not the only thing that's sagging. If a prominent celebrity decides to risk his career and his family through an outside daliance, surely he would at least select a woman who made it worthwhile.

Blahzy Florid suffered no negative consequences after filing her false sexual abuse complaint. It's easy to file a lie; simply fill out a piece of paper. Once the smear is seared in the public's memory and the media has moved on, withdraw it. Call it an "out of court settlement."
No penalty whatsoever.

Sue her for defamation. However, I used to ask the air if they thought she was cute, with her bug eyes, or something, and that's why they'd have her on their programs. She was one dumb chick; she should have been locked away in a nut house, not spouting her nonsense on TV. That's what I thought. I think I've got the right village idiot. Oh well, it doesn't matter; there's not that much difference between all of them. Hair color, maybe.

My reaction as well OP. Kurtz has kinda drifted away from a lot of his liberalism, so he needs to be punished like the other two. I find these women foul and unbelievable. Why is it they stayed silent so long, waiting only for election season to speak up? This tells me up front their stories are just not credible.

Fox News has been asking for this. Once they gave Gretchen Carlson $20MM free of dispute, or litigation, all the other fashion plates at the network began biding their time, wearing revealing dresses, and flirting with every conservative male on the set, to try and secure their own multi-million parachutes. No surprise. Just look at some of the video of that Jennifer Eckhart babe. Difficult to distinguish her from an elite Washington D.C. escort.

I disagree with the way the women commentators on Fox dress. They should be dressed in business attire, not cocktail dresses. The low cut off the shoulder, sleeveless gowns are more appropriate for a night out on the town, not serious reporting.

Flat out, I do not believe Ed Henry raped anybody, or that Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, or Howard Kurtz sexually harassed anybody. Sean may have annoyed some by the 100 thousandth repetition of the words "Hillary Clinton bought and paid for dossier", but nothing more.

I don't believe it at all. I also can't see anyone even slightly interested in those two creeps. They are ugly and weird. Probably the two ugliest women to have ever shown their mugs on Fox. I also can't imagine Hannity sexually harassing anyone. He might flirt, but I just can't picture him doing more.
