Fox News has agreed to pay $12 million to former Tucker Carlson producer Abby Grossberg to settle two lawsuits claiming the network was a hostile and discriminatory environment.
“I am hopeful, based on our discussions with Fox News today, that this resolution represents a positive step by the Network regarding its treatment of women and minorities in the workplace,” Grossberg said in a statement released by her attorney.
Grossberg’s attorney said that the settlement resolves all of her claims against Fox, former show host Tucker Carlson, and several other people named in the suit.
From The Daily Caller:
Grossberg, 42, said that she still stands by her original claims against the network, but she is “heartened that Fox News has taken me and my legal claims seriously.” Fox previously disputed the former producer’s allegations. The network confirmed Friday that Grossberg’s complaint has been resolved.
