As previously reported here on eWN, between November 2018 and January 2019, the former WWE Superstar allegedly sent inappropriate messages and unsolicited pictures to McHenry. The suit claims that the network is a “sanctuary of sexual harassers.”
Fox News has issued the following statement:
“Ms. McHenry’s lawsuit recycles the same allegations she filed with the New York State Division of Human Rights in October, to which we filed a response on Friday. As we have previously stated, Ms. McHenry’s allegations have been fully investigated and we are confident our actions will be deemed entirely appropriate in litigation. We expect all of her claims to be dismissed.” – FOX News
