Britt McHenry has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Fox News and her former co-host Tyrus.
The 33-year-old Fox Nation commentator has reportedly spoken out four different times about sexual harassment.
She claims that the network has “refused to look into some of her claims, shunned her, shut her out of company events and refused to allow her to appear as a guest on other FOX News shows,” TMZ reports. She says that this is all a result of her claiming that Tyrus sexually harassed her in 2018 through inappropriate text messages.
After she reported the incidents, Britt claims Tyrus was never punished and was even given his own show. She also says that Tyrus showed investigators photos and texts of her “cleavage and nearly bare breast,” though she says these were doctored and not really her.
“Fox News remains a sanctuary for sexual harassers, coddling and enabling the men who abuse female employees,” Britt McHenry said in the suit.
A Fox News rep told the outlet, “Ms. McHenry‘s lawsuit recycles the same allegations she filed with the New York State Division of Human Rights in October, to which we filed a response on Friday. As we have previously stated, Ms. McHenry‘s allegations have been fully investigated and we are confident our actions will be deemed entirely appropriate in litigation. We expect all of her claims to be dismissed.”

I am standing up for myself, for women and for what’s right. I have maintained the same allegations because the truth doesn’t change. I feel for any sexual harassment victim who has their story and evidence dismissed, doubted and not believed.
