As if the Dominion Voting Systems defamation case weren’t already a serious problem for Fox News, a producer named Abby Grossberg added a new wrinkle to the network’s troubles last week by filing a lawsuit of her own.
The former Tucker Carlson producer who sued Fox News last week alleging she was pressured into giving misleading testimony about the network’s coverage of supposed election fraud has filed new allegations about coercive coaching by Fox lawyers, bias and unprofessional behavior by staff members, and retaliation by the network.
“Based on what I understood and took away from the deposition preparation sessions I had with Fox’s legal team which were coercive and intimidating,” Grossberg said in an unredacted errata sheet filed in Delaware, “I felt that I had to do everything possible to avoid becoming the ‘star witness’ for Dominion or else I would be seriously jeopardizing my career at Fox News and would be subjected to worse terms and conditions of employment than male employees as I understood it.
The amended complaint also alleges that Fox attorneys would repeatedly say to Grossberg, “‘who really can/does recall anything?’” thereby “fraudulently inducing her to deny facts she knew to exist.”
