We could see that happening right away.
Well, it will be interesting to see what career steps she might be taking going forward.

Now that this is over, would you hire her?

If I were running a TV network, I wouldn't take the chance given what she considered to be sexual harassment in her lawsuit. That's not to say she didn't have a case against Roger Ailes but as I remember it she wanted 5 million because Bill O'Reilly asked her out....that's taking the definition of harassment too far.

The "Catch 22" argument in this very sorry and sad episode--one has to wonder, how can Andrea come back from this kind of beating?

Will any employer (media or otherwise) be willing to take a chance on her? And, what kind of damage control will her resume be taking going forward?

Plus her last book flopped after Fox pulled its publicity machine
I would think publishers will be cautious

Sad...so,so, sad.

Hopefully this puts a capstone on all the "sexual harassment" sagas at FNC/FBN.

Ailes is dead and gone, O'Reilly is gone (but not dead, and has another book coming out), Gretchen is gone (but GOT PAID), Megyn is at NBC, God only knows which of the twenty-one names talked to that law firm in one of the initial suits (guess no one ever followed up), and now Andrea lost that duel with the windmills, dropped an Arc Light strike on every bridge she's had in the news/punditry business...

...is she still dating Dave Navarro? What's he doing for himself these days?

Wasn't her ghost writer suing her? What became of that?

Also What's Rebecca Gomez-Diamond doing? Laurie Dhue was with Glenn Beck's channel for a time but now according to her Wikipedia page is doing public speaking.

Gretchen's husband is mega sports agent Casey Close, so I assume Gretchen had more resources at her disposal with which to get the big payout.

I think Andrea must have felt that being a victim on any level in this world made it a slam dunk that she would end up on the plus side of this situation, but I wonder how many of the victims at Fox will end up with little or nothing vs. what Gretchen got.

I'm not blaming Gretchen for anything, but she is able to pay the big lawyers who can get more, and maybe that is giving some of the others unrealistic expectations. These news reports are making it sound like Andrea is living in a studio apartment eating ramen noodles. The sad thing is, I really enjoyed her book, I thought it was quite good. If anything what happened to Andrea is a bigger crime because she was in a lot more vulnerable situation (financially, etc) and they really put the squeeze to her. I assume her settlement offers were pennies on the dollar compared to what Gretchen got so Andrea decided to stand her ground and ended up with nothing but bills.

Andrea was a rising star and now her career on TV/Politics is all but finished.
Gretchen seems like she has gone on a power trip (Miss America contest)
