A former Tucker Carlson producer is now accusing Fox News of retaliation after the network fired her on FridayAbby Grossberg, once a senior booking producer for Fox host Maria Bariromo before becoming Carlson’s head of booking, filed amended complaints on Monday alleging the network’s attorneys coerced her into giving inaccurate testimony in her deposition to. Dominion is currently suing Fox for defamation, seeking $1.6 billion over its coverage of the 2020 election.
Claiming that male colleagues were able to see their transcripts and make corrections, Grossberg asserts that she was only able to review and correct her own testimony only after retaining her own legal team. She also accuses Fox News lawyers of pressuring her to downplay the role that TV ratings had in the network’s decision-making at the time it was pushing election-fraud lies, while also providing cover for male executives.
Grossberg dove deeper into her claims that Fox’s legal team coached her before and during the deposition, claiming they would repeatedly say “who really can/does recall anything” and therefore “fraudulently inducing her to deny facts she knew to exist.” Furthermore, she said she was influenced to not reveal how short staffing on Bartiromo’s show may have led to the program disregarding emailed warnings about pushing falsehoods regarding Dominion’s voting systems.
