Fox News reporter Abby Grossberg recently sued the network, alleging that the network’s attorneys “coerced, intimidated, and misled” her into providing false evidence as part of a $1.6 billion defamation case brought by Dominion Voting Systems against the business that. Grossberg is suing Fox News in Delaware Superior Court and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. CNN received documents from the Delaware case that state:
“Fox News’ attorneys acted as agents and at the behest of Fox News to mislead, manipulate, and coerce Ms. Grossberg into giving shady and/or incomplete answers during her sworn deposition testimony, which answers clearly harmed her reputation but greatly benefited Fox News.”
The complaint also alleges that the “efforts and consistent actions” of Fox’s legal team forced Grossberg to speak in a way that presented the facts “in a false way.” According to producers, the network aims to “shift the blame” away from Fox News executives and “away from the Fox Corporation.” In her complaint, Abby Grossberg also accused Fox News of sexism and chauvinism. She claimed that senior male officials often made disparaging comments about the network’s presenters.
Grossberg allegedly joined Fox News in March 2019 as an editor and booker. He previously served as senior scheduling editor for Maria Bartiromo before becoming Tucker Carlson’s booking director. According to reports, Fox News reportedly forced Grossberg to quit the network following his complaints against the network.
An investigation into the Abby Grossberg case against Fox News.
Abby Grossberg, a Fox news reporter, recently made headlines after launching a complaint against the network, accusing her legal team of coercing and bullying her into giving false evidence before her interview in the Dominion Voting System defamation case against Fox last September. Dominion launched a $1.6 billion complaint against Fox Corporation and Fox News, alleging that the network “recklessly ignored the truth” during the 2020 US presidential election and promoted several pro-Trump conspiracy theories about election theft.
Dominion claims in its complaint that Fox News defamed it by giving airtime to pro-Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell. The business claimed that the attorney promoted a false conspiracy theory and claimed that the Dominion Voting System shifted Donald Trump’s vote to Joe Biden, but the Fox News anchor did not dispute the claim.
“The lies are good for Fox’s business,” Dominion insisted. However, the network vehemently denied the allegations and stated that it was truthfully reporting Trump’s allegations. The station also claimed that the Dominion case violated free speech. Dominion attorneys questioned Abby Grossberg during her interview in the case about emails Powell sent to Maria Bartiromo. Lawyers also revealed phone texts about the 2020 election between Grossberg and Baritromo, in which the former reportedly wrote:
“Honestly, our audience is not interested in hearing about a peaceful transition.”
When the attorney asked Grossberg if he believed it was important to clear someone who made a false statement, he said “no.” Abby Grossberg now claims that Fox’s legal team supported her “misleading and evasive answers” during the deposition rather than suggesting that she said what she really felt because doing so would allow Grossberg to “unwittingly” shift responsibility from the network’s higher-ups to herself. own
The producer also claims that, unlike her male colleagues, she was not allowed to review and correct the recording of her interview, and that she was only mentioned once in Dominion’s court papers. According to CNN, Fox Corporation, the parent company of Fox News, recently asked to be dismissed as a participant in the Dominion Voting System case, claiming it had no influence over the channel’s coverage.
Abby Grossberg accused Fox News’ legal team of misconduct while preparing her for pre-trial interviews in the Dominion defamation case in her own complaint against the network. He also accused the network and some of its upper management of sexism and chauvinism. Grossberg claims in her complaint that she was passed over for a top job on Marie Bartiromo’s Sunday Morning Futures program because the network allegedly favored male applicants.
The publisher alleged that Fox News executives often made statements that allegedly disparaged female employees such as anchors Maria Bartiromo and Jeanine Pirro. He claimed that some people referred to Bartiromo as a “lunatic” who was “menopausal.” Abby Grossberg went on to say that when she started working on The Tucker Carlson Show, she was surprised by the atmosphere. He claimed that his office was decorated with a large photo of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “in a plunging bathing suit” on his first day.
According to a complaint received by CNN:
“Grossberg was embarrassed by what he witnessed and began to feel a sinking feeling in his stomach when it became clear how rampant adultery and the desire to shame and objectify women was among the male staff of Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
Grossberg’s complaint, filed in New York, repeats accusations of sexism and claims that there is a culture of making anti-Semitic remarks. Carlson and his team of employees were named in the woman’s complaint. Parisis G. Filippatos, Abby Grossberg’s lawyer, stated that the former has “sufficient documentary evidence in all forms to support most” of the claims he made in the case.
Grossberg told CNN that he filed for Fox News with the expectation that it would force the network to reform. He went on to say that he felt it was “the only step” he could take to reclaim his dignity and save his job. The director also expressed his desire to “expose the lies and deception” he had “witnessed for years” on two of Fox News’ most popular programs.
What is Fox News’ reaction to Abby Grossberg’s lawsuit?
The same day Abby Grossberg attacked Fox News, the network sued her to prevent her from challenging the station. According to the business, the director vowed to sue Fox for prejudice and retaliation. Insiders are informed by network representatives:
“Because Ms. Grossberg has threatened to disclose privileged information of FOX News Media’s attorney-clients, we have filed a temporary restraining order to protect our rights.”
The representative also defended the network against claims made by Abby Grossberg, claiming that some of the producer’s concerns were expressed following negative performance reviews:
“Fox News Media has retained independent outside counsel to conduct an immediate investigation into Ms. Grossberg’s concerns, which were raised following a critical performance review.” This charge will be vigorously defended.”
According to reports, the network is also pursuing a protective order against Abby Grossberg to prevent her from disclosing confidential information in her case, which would cause the network “immediate irreparable harm.” Grossberg and his attorney claim that Fox News’ claim that his complaint arrived only after a critical performance evaluation is false. Filippatos stated to CNN:
“It’s another example of Fox News not only avoiding, but also trying to bury, the truth.”
Meanwhile, Grossberg stated:
“Fox doesn’t care at all. It describes everything perfectly. They don’t worry about their employees… or about their fans.”
Fox News withdrew its case against Abby Grossberg on Tuesday.
