I've never been a fan of Andrea's opinions, but I commend her heartily for standing up to Ailes with his disgusting demands for twirls and hugs and the rest of it and then coming forward to make it public. Fox is likely full of crap about the "not vetting the book" reason for her suspension.
The thing about the book that I don't understand is that Harper Collins published the book and they are owned by Fox, so it's not as if they were trying to get info. about a book from an independent 3rd party. But then again, her suspension did align with the release of her book so who knows.
Here's another article from Buzzfeed which alleges that there are 4 other individuals at Fox who harassed Tantaros in one way or another -
https://www.buzzfeed.com/kyleblaine/mon ... .nhVKdzR0p"The four-page letter was made available to be reviewed by BuzzFeed News, and read in its entirety, on the condition that it not be published. In the March 16 letter, Tantaros through her lawyer accused by name four Fox News male personalities — two on-air contributors, a correspondent, and a host — of inappropriate behavior.
Tantaros also alleged that she was receiving threatening tweets that she believed were from a Fox news colleague. In the letter, Tantaros’ lawyer claims Fox News was not taking those threats seriously and were putting her life in danger by allowing unauthorized access to the studio."Apparently all of the legal wrangling started before she was "suspended." For the sake of clarity, the report of being harassed by 4 male colleagues came a month or two before she was suspended for her book. The stuff with Ailes supposedly took place well before that.
Andrea's contract with Fox ends a year from now so they will have to figure out how all that gets settled.
