Fox News has settled a sexual harassment lawsuit with contributor Britt McHenry. The lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed by McHenry’s legal team Monday and she will leave Fox News.
McHenry’s lawsuit, originally filed in 2019, alleged that her “Un-PC” co-host, George “Tyrus” Murdoch, harassed her. The lawsuit cited inappropriate behavior on Murdoch’s part, including sexually charged text messages that he used to threaten her if she kept “being negative.”
McHenry co-hosted a Fox Nation program with
Tyrus, but in 2019 he was kicked off the show after she filed a sexual harassment complaint against him. The Daily Beast reported at the time McHenry said he “sent her unwanted and unsolicited text messages with lewd, sexual comments.”
A Fox spokesperson told Mediaite in a statement in June 2019 “this situation was independently investigated and we consider the matter resolved.”
In December 2019 McHenry filed suit against Fox News and Tyrus, also alleging gender discrimination and retaliation.
According to two sources familiar with the matter, McHenry has settled with Fox News likely with a nondisclosure agreement and undisclosed cash settlement and will leave the network.
