Jennifer Eckhart: 5 Things To Know About Former Fox News Employee Accusing Ed Henry Of Rape
Journalist Jennifer Eckhart is not letting “fear of retaliation, victim shaming and further attacks” stop her from speaking out. This is what the former Fox Nation personality wrote on Twitter on July 20, the day she filed a lawsuit with co-plaintiff Cathy Areu (another journalist) against the Fox News Network and some of the biggest names to appear on the conservative news outlet: Ed Henry, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Howard Kurtz. In the complaint’s preliminary statement, Eckhart and Areu accuse Fox News of continuing to “protect and reward perpetrators of sexual harassment” and “putting such persons in positions of power from which they can subject women to sexual misconduct, sexual assault and, in the case of Ms. Eckhart, rape.”
