Andrea Tantaros accused former senator Scott Brown of sexually harassing her while she worked at Fox News.

The 37-year-old Tantaros filed a harassment lawsuit against the conservative network and its former chief, Roger Ailes, who she accused of retaliation when she refused his sexual advances.

The lawsuit, which was obtained by Think Progress, claims Brown, a former Republican senator from Massachusetts, appeared Aug. 18, 2015, on the Fox News program “Outnumbered,” which Tantaros co-hosted.

“Brown made a number of sexually inappropriate comments to Tantaros on set, including, and in a suggestive manner, that Tantaros ‘would be fun to go to a nightclub with,’” the lawsuit alleged. “After the show was over, Brown snuck up behind Tantaros while she was purchasing lunch and put his hands on her lower waist. She immediately pulled back, telling Brown to ‘stop.'”

Tantaros reported Brown, a Fox News contributor, to network executive Bill Shine, who was tapped as one of two replacements for Ailes — who resigned under pressure after former anchor Gretchen Carlson filed her own bombshell harassment suit.

1. One more woman; same sexual harassment. Some reason that so many men thought it was okay.

Either it was so apparent that they were doing it, so other men followed that lead, or they talked about it and then did it too. Likely it was both situations. Sickening.

4. Did Trump cause all this (the pressure), or was it going to happen anyway ?

5. Well, what can I say - when you have views like this---

and this is one of the milder things she has said at Fox. I always considered her part of the eye-candy in the Fox stables who set the standard for beauty over brains.

6. A Republican sexual deviant? Stop the presses!

7. I have heretofore termed Republicans as "GOPers." I was wrong. The proper term is "GROPers."

8. Hostile work environment from the top down

Ailes created a culture of sexual harassment that filtered through the whole organization. Brown is a fucking pig.

9. Scott Brown, the guy that offered up his daughter? Say it ain't so!
