Andrea Tantaros Sexual Complaints
After filing formal allegations of sexual harassment against Fox News employees, she was fired from the show on April 25, 2016, citing “contract difficulties,” according to Fox News. Tantaros filed a complaint in August 2016 alleging that she approached Fox News executives in 2015 about Roger Ailes sexually harassing her. She said that her charges led to her being demoted from The Five to Outnumbered, and eventually she was fired from the show in April 2016. Bill O’Reilly, Dean Cain, and Scott Brown were also accused of making inappropriate comments to her, as well as Brown and Cain touching her without her permission, according to the lawsuit.
All three men, Brown, Cain, and O’Reilly, disputed her claims. Her updated complaint, filed on January 29, 2018, included details to substantiate her allegations of a harassing culture within the network. However, that complaint was also dismissed. Judge George B. Daniels dismissed her case on May 18, 2018, citing a lack of “factual support.” Tantaros had elected to represent herself in the lawsuit after consulting three lawyers, despite having no professional legal expertise.
