Scott Brown accused in Fox sex harassment lawsuit

Source: The Boston Globe


WASHINGTON — Former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros claims in a new lawsuit that former US senator Scott Brown made sexually inappropriate comments to her while on set and put his hands on her lower waist.

Tantaros, who complained to superiors about Brown’s conduct, outlines her complaint in a lawsuit filed Monday in the New York Supreme Court. The complaint, which includes accusations of harassment by former network head Roger Ailes and host Bill O’Reilly, portrays a corporate culture that tolerated sexual misconduct.

(...)

Tantaros says halfway through the suit that Brown, while appearing on her show “Outnumbered” in August 2015, “made a number of sexually inappropriate comments to Tantaros on set.”

(...)

“After the show was over, Brown snuck up behind Tantaros while she was purchasing lunch and put his hands on her lower waist,” the lawsuit says. “She immediately pulled back, telling Brown to ‘stop.’”

I'm not a fan of Tantaros by any means, but Brown is just another misogynistic ahole. He'll deny it YOHABLO Aug 2016 #2

there's no reason for her to falsely name him. He's not even a Senator anymore, what does he even do? There's nothing "there" to "take down." He did it.

I glanced at the headline and first thought was giving or receiving. The best Maddow segment ever was when she mocked him mercilessly RE: his comments that he communicated daily with kings and queens. He started the germ of Pocahantus, also.

Is it me or are there more than the usual amount of Republican scandals filling the news this year? The roosters have come home to roost. What a freakin' train wreck of a political party!

I can't stand her on most issues but I'm glad she is speaking out on these things.

Were there any rumors of him behaving like that while he was in the MA legislature or the Senate?

In the BG picture, he looks so much older than he was just a couple of years ago. http://bos.gl/6qlILS0
