A senior producer for primetime star Tucker Carlson sued Fox News on Monday, alleging the network was setting her and other female colleagues up as scapegoats in a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit.
Dominion Voting Systems, a voting technology company, is seeking to hold Fox News responsible for lies it broadcast following the 2020 presidential elections. A trial is scheduled for next month. The producer, Abby Grossberg, is a key witness.
Fox News initially had sought a restraining order against Grossberg to prevent her from publicly disclosing information linked to the Dominion suit. It dropped its case against her on Tuesday.

..."Fox News has spent years trying to shed the legacy of its late chairman, Roger Ailes, who was ousted after numerous women came forward with allegations of sexual harassment and assault. (He denied each one before his death in 2017.) Fox paid tens of millions of dollars to settle many of those allegations; its ultimate cost, which included buying out Ailes, exceeded an estimated $200 million.
Fox News says its chief executive, Suzanne Scott, has dedicated herself to transforming the network into a model place to work. Grossberg's characterizations fundamentally challenge that transformation."
