Britt McHenry settles Fox News sexual harassment lawsuit, will exit the network

The Daily Beast

McHenry sued Fox News in 2019, accusing the cable news network of punishing her when she accused her Fox Nation co-host Tyrus of sexual harassment. As part of the settlement, McHenry will leave Fox News and Fox Nation, though she'll still serve as an on-air analyst for Fox affiliate Fox 5 in Washington, D.C. “I am very proud to have to stood up for my rights and hope that I have empowered other women to do the same,” McHenry told The Daily Beast in a statement. “Although I fully stand by the truth of my allegations, I am pleased to put this matter behind me and move forward with my career.” Fox News said in its own statement: “While Fox News is confident it would have prevailed in the lawsuit, we are pleased that we have been able to resolve this matter without further litigation."
