In the complaint filed, Britt McHenry says that Fox News did not respond appropriately and sought to punish her after she accused an on-air colleague, the Fox Nation host Tyrus, of sexually harassing her
McHenry says that Fox News responded to her complaints against Tyrus by "refusing to investigate some of her claims, shunning her, shutting her out of company events, and refusing to allow her on Fox News Channel shows. ... When Ms. McHenry complained to Fox News Human Resources and management, Fox News asked what Ms. McHenry did to provoke her harasser."
Previously, Fox News has said that it conducted two outside investigations into the claims made by McHenry and considered the matter resolved — with Tyrus remaining an employee. McHenry has said that Tyrus persistently sent her sexually explicit text messages and made inappropriate remarks. "As a result of her treatment by Defendants, Ms. McHenry has suffered humiliation, emotional anguish, derailment of her career, and significant loss of economic opportunities," the lawsuit argues.
In the complaint, the plaintiffs recount how the network responded to complaints made against former primetime host Bill O'Reilly, tick through allegations made against former boss Roger Ailes, and argue that "since its inception and continuing to today, Fox News has had a sexual harassment problem."
Former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson, who famously sued Ailes for sexual harassment in July 2016, leaving the network with a $20 million settlement, promoted McHenry's lawsuit on Twitter. "Fox News wants people to believe it has cleaned up its act and is now at the forefront of anti-harassment compliance, but the allegations made by @BrittMcHenry via @dianafalzone & @VanityFair tells quite a different story," she wrote on Tuesday afternoon.
