Andrea Tantaros: Roger Ailes Spied On Female Hosts Changing Clothes

Andrea Tantaros, the former Fox News host suing her ex-employer for sexual harassment, has filed new court papers alleging that then-Fox CEO Roger Ailes installed cameras that allowed him to spy on female hosts changing clothes at work.

BuzzFeed has the details:

Tantaros, who is now representing herself in the legal matter, said Ailes had a CCTV system that allowed him to see inside Fox News offices: "Fox offices are where most Fox female talent, including Ms. Tantaros, disrobed daily from their regular clothing into their on-air attire, sometimes multiple times a day... Upon information and belief Ailes was surreptitiously recording, both through audio and with hidden cameras, Tantaros (and others)."

She also alleged Ailes was recording a biannual trunk show organized by the wardrobe department in which all the female hosts "[disrobed] down to their undergarments to try on new on-air dresses for the next season, without even the benefit of a curtain."

Tantaros also claims that Ailes installed spyware on her laptop and was able to monitor employees’ Blackberry activity.

Tantaros’ original complaint, filed in 2016, contained some jaw-dropping allegations, including claims that on-air talent were not allowed to defend then-host Megyn Kelly from attacks by presidential candidate Donald Trump; that Ailes liked to gossip about employees’ sex lives; and that he referred to African American contributor Stacey Dash as “the black girl.”

According to BuzzFeed, Fox issued a statement saying, “Her outlandish claims lack any factual basis.”

I was just reading an update on this that says she’s now representing herself. Talk about a fool for a client…

Agree. She is horrible. She can’t even retain lawyers. But her lawsuit is interesting and has contained lots of juicy tidbits, including this one.

Ms Tantaros certainly did not deserve the harassment she received at Fox. At the same time, I recall her as being one of the snarkiest, most unpleasant people employed by Fox, and that is “high praise” indeed for that network. I am glad she is not in the airwaves any longer.
