Fox News calls anchor an 'opportunist' over her harassment claim
By Daniel Wiessner
Fox News Network LLC on Monday said anchor Andrea Tantaros was an "opportunist" who made sexual harassment claims against former chairman Roger Ailes only after she was taken off the air for writing a book without permission.
Fox in a filing in New York state court in Manhattan also said Tantaros signed an agreement to keep employment-related disputes out of court and asked a judge to send her Aug. 22 lawsuit to arbitration.
Tantaros in her lawsuit says she was taken off the air in April in retaliation for rebuffing Ailes' advances and complaining to top officials at Fox News, a unit of Twenty-First Century Fox Inc (FOXA.O).
The network on Monday denied the claims, saying Tantaros was taking advantage of the publicity surrounding a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Ailes in July by former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson that led to the chairman's resignation.
