As more information comes out about the sexual harassment charges former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros has leveled against Fox News, she is being judged harshly by some of her former colleagues.
Among those who doubt Tantaro’s claims is Fox News host Geraldo Rivera who took to social media to defend his employer and take on CNN anchor Brian Stelter. Rivera is a longtime friend of former Fox founder, chairman and CEO Roger Ailes.
That some allegations vs #FoxNews personnel obviously false is 1 thing-That @brianstelter & other competitors embrace crap shows true intent

When and how have I “embraced crap?” https://t.co/zKybJbrnGH

@brianstelter Lawsuit you reference is not sincere legal document. It is a vindictive screed designed to damage reputations & hurt feelings

Even Stelter acknowledged holes in Tantaros’ lawsuit.
In my story today, I pointed out “glaring inaccuracies” in the Tantaros lawsuit. https://t.co/fbFBmUKigK

Tantaros on Monday filed a $5 million sexual harassment lawsuit against the network and Ailes offers salacious details of “harassment” from top-rated host Bill O’Reilly.
According to the court lawsuit, the former Fox News beauty said that, on more than one occasion, O’Reilly said he could “see [her] as a wild girl’ with a ‘wild side.'”
She claimed he also invited her to his home in Long Island with the promise that it was “very private.”
Tantaros said when she complained to the network’s executives she was taken off the “The O’Reilly Factor.”
This is the second time O’Reilly has been named in a sexual harassment case.
In 2004, he settled a lawsuit filed by Andrea Mackris, a former producer on his show, who claimed the host had phone sex conversations with her and told her he fantasized about her in the shower.
Tantaros didn’t claim O’Reilly did anything that risqué, but did say in her filing that “Fox News masquerades as a defender of traditional family values, but behind the scenes, it operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency and misogyny.”
O’Reilly is not named as a defendant in Tantaros’Â lawsuit.
Rivera wasn’t the only person on social media that isn’t waiting around for the courts to decide.
So, Tantaros leaves FOX many months ago, had time to create story and jumps on bandwagon? SHE’S FULL OF CRAP! https://t.co/7R2u6c7Jw9

I believe @GretchenCarlson 100% – @AndreaTantaros is a known liar and a fraud. She is not to be believed or trusted. #Tantaros is sleazy.

@Cabbiejoe1 seems they’re trying to take down Fox News during this election cycle.
