Producer Sues Fox News Saying She was Coerced into Providing Misleading Testimony in Dominion Voting Defamation Case *

More bad news for Fox News….

A senior booking producer for Fox News, Abby Grossberg, has filed two lawsuits against the right-wing talk channel. Grossberg accuses Fox's legal team of pressuring her into providing false testimony in Dominion Voting Systems' defamation case against the network. According to Grossberg's lawsuit, Fox's legal team manipulated her into providing incomplete answers during a sworn deposition. These answers shifted culpability away from senior Fox News executives and Fox Corporation.

Dominion Voting Systems alleges in its lawsuit against Fox Corporation and Fox News that the network recklessly disregarded the truth during the 2020 election and pushed various pro-Trump conspiracy theories about the election technology company. Grossberg's lawsuits allege that Fox News prioritizes ratings over facts and that the network has a culture of rampant sexism.

In response to Grossberg's lawsuits, a Fox News spokesperson said that the network engaged independent outside counsel to investigate Grossberg's concerns. The network plans to defend itself against Grossberg's claims vigorously. Fox News also filed a lawsuit against Grossberg, seeking a restraining order to prevent her from divulging privileged information.

Grossberg hopes that her lawsuits will spur change at Fox News and expose the lies and deceit that she has witnessed during her time at the network. She believes that ratings are crucial to the network, hosts, and shows, and that they drive coverage. Grossberg's allegations suggest that Fox News prioritizes ratings over the truth and that it fosters a culture of misogyny and sexism. It remains to be seen how these lawsuits will affect Fox News and its reputation.
