Former Fox News Producer Accuses Ex-Host Ed Henry of Rape

HeadlineJul 21, 2020

In media news, a former Fox Business producer has filed a lawsuit accusing recently fired Fox News anchor Ed Henry of raping her. Jennifer Eckhart says Henry sexually assaulted her in an office at the Fox News office building in New York in 2015 and raped her in a New York hotel room in 2017. She says Henry handcuffed her and took naked photographs of her. Eckhart alleges she was terminated in June after she complained to human resources about a “toxic work environment” at Fox. A co-plaintiff in the lawsuit, the journalist Cathy Areu, accuses Ed Henry of sending her sexual images, messages and videos. The lawsuit also alleges Fox hosts Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Howard Kurtz and Gianno Caldwell continuously engaged in inappropriate and suggestive behavior.
