Andrea Tantaros has Fox News in the crosshairs once again. And THESE accusations are brand new…
It seems like the problems over at Fox News keep surfacing.
There seems to always be something going on over there.
First Roger Ailes, then O’Reilly, and accusations were made then quickly retracted about Sean Hannity.
Her new claims are that Fox News spied on her, hacked her personal electronic devices and targeted her online through fake accounts. The social media harassment allegedly ocurred after she filed the lawsuit against Roger Ailes.
From the new lawsuit filed on Monday:
As demonstrated below with accompanying exhibits, the Defendants in this case subjected Ms. Tantaros to illegal electronic surveillance and computer hacking, and used that information (including, on information and belief, privileged attorney-client communications) to intimidate, terroize, and crush her career through an endless stream of lewd, offensive, and career-damaging social media posts, blog entries and commentary and high-profile “fake” media sites which Fox News (or its social influence contractors) owned or controlled.
Tantaros claims she was trolled and harassed by her former employer, Fox News.
It’s pretty unbelievable.
Former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros sued the network and president Bill Shine in a Manhattan federal court on Monday for allegedly spying on her, hacking her personal electronic devices, and harassing her online via proxy social media accounts…
…Other defendants include former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, and public relations executive Irena Briganti…
…Tantaros sued in 2016 claiming Ailes sexually harassed her. Attorneys denied the allegation, which was filed in a New York state court. They said she couldn’t even sue under the terms of her contract. Instead, she was supposed to handle everything through a private arbitration agreement.
“Tantaros is not a victim; she is an opportunist,” they wrote.

The outside counsel for Fox News, Dechert LLP, released a statement:
Fox News and its executives flatly deny that they conducted any electronic surveillance of Ms. Tantaros. They have no knowledge of the anonymous or pseudonymous tweets described in her complaint. This lawsuit is a flimsy pretext to keep Ms. Tantaros and her sexual harassment claims in the public eye after the State Supreme Court directed her to bring them in arbitration.

What do YOU think?
Is Tantaros a victim or an opportunist?
Is Tantaros telling the truth or just trying out what the left is doing with President Trump?
Will it soon be collusion with the Russians?
