- Fox News producer Abby Grossberg threw a monkey wrench into her network’s defense of their actions in the $1.6 billion lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems, alleging that lawyers for the network manipulated her into giving misleading testimony in a deposition.
- But as New York Times reporter Nick Confessore noted on Tuesday’s edition of MSNBC’s “Deadline: White House,” Grossberg’s allegations go even further, alleging a parade of misogynistic behavior behind the scenes at the network. Confessore even compared it to the raunchy college fraternity film “Animal House.”
- “Let me read some of what she is alleging here,” said anchor Ayman Mohyeldin, reading from Confessore’s report. “”Last year Grossberg began working as a senior booking producer at Tucker Carlson Tonight. On her first full day, according to the lawsuit, she discovered that the show’s Manhattan workspace was decorated with large pictures of Nancy Pelosi wearing a plunging swimsuit. The next day, Justin Wells, Mr. Carlson’s top producer, called Grossberg into his office to ask whether [host] Maria Bartiromo was having a sexual relationship with Kevin McCarthy. Mr. Carlson’s staff joked about Jews and freely deployed a vulgar term for women, according to the complaint.
