Producer Abby Grossberg is suing Fox News over a “misogynistic” culture at the network, alleging she was coerced into misleading testimony in the Dominion defamation lawsuit.
The producer — Abby Grossberg, who used to work for KGO-TV in— served under host Maria Bartiromo at the time of the election. She later went to work as a producer for Tucker Carlson, the role she held when she filed two lawsuits against the network on Monday. In those suits, which were filed in New York and Delaware, Grossberg alleges that Fox's lawyers tried to make Bartiromo and her staff take the fall for the network's coverage of Dominion.
"Quite simply, Fox's legal team coerced, intimidated, and misinformed Ms. Grossberg as they prepared her in connection with deposition testimony she gave in the pending defamation case brought by the company known as Dominion ... resulting in irretrievable reputational and emotional harm," one lawsuit, which was reviewed by SFGATE, says.
The lawsuits also contained anecdotes involving prominent California politicians, including House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his predecessor, Nancy Pelosi. While working for Carlson, Grossberg said she was called into a meeting with two other producers, who asked her whether McCarthy was involved in a sexual relationship with Bartiromo. Grossberg said she replied,"No," and quickly left the room. The lawsuits also detail a back-and-forth between Grossberg and Carlson while Grossberg was trying to get McCarthy on Carlson's show during his bid for the speakership.
Grossberg also alleged that on her first day as a producer on Carlson's show, she found blown-up images of Pelosi in a bathing suit"revealing her cleavage" plastered on her computer and throughout her office. Grossberg said she believed the joke was that Pelosi looked bad in a bathing suit.
