Grossberg V. Fox Corporation Et Al
A lawsuit has been filed against Fox Corporation, Fox News Network, and several individuals, including Tucker Carlson, by Abby Grossberg, the Head of Booking on the Tucker Carlson Tonight program. Grossberg alleges violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, gender/sex, religion, and disability discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. She claims that she faced a hostile work environment that subjugates women based on sexist stereotypes, typecasts religious minorities, and belittles their traditions. Grossberg also alleges that Fox News retaliated against her after she complained about the unlawful harassment she faced based on her gender and Jewish religion. The lawsuit seeks vindication for Fox News's violations of Grossberg's rights under the Equal Pay Act, the New York State Human Rights Law, the New York City Human Rights Law, and the New York Equal Pay Act. The lawsuit also highlights the history of sexual harassment and discrimination at Fox News, including settlements paid out to former employees who made claims against Bill O'Reilly and former CEO Roger Ailes.
