Former Fox News staffers are clamoring for the same release from non-disclosure agreements that NBCUniversal has granted its staffers regarding sexual harassment settlements.
Coming in the wake of Rachel Maddow’s announcement Friday on her MSNBC show that parent corp. NBCUniversal would allow former staffers to get out of their non-disclosure agreements, at least six former Fox News employees, including Gretchen Carlson, are asking for similar treatment. Carlson was the first woman at Fox to sue Roger Ailes, the former news director at Fox who was forced out by her disclosures. Carlson settled with the company in 2016, and her story is covered in the new film Bombshell.
“All women at Fox News and beyond forced to sign NDAs should be released from them immediately, giving them back the voices they deserve,” Carlson told Vanity Fair. “None of us asked to get into a workplace dispute. We simply had the courage...

Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson has called on the network to release ex-employees from any non-disclosure agreements that were made with the network.
“All women at Fox News and beyond forced to sign NDAs should be released from them immediately, giving them back the voices they deserve,” Carlson told Vanity Fair in a piece published on Monday. “None of us asked to get into a workplace dispute. We simply had the courage to stand up and say something — but in the end it’s our voices no one can hear. Because of our NDAs, we can never say what is factually correct or incorrect about what happened to us at Fox.”
The appeal — Carlson is joined by former contributors and staffers like Julie Roginsky, Tamara Holder and Diana Falzone — also comes shortly after NBCUniversal announced via MSNBC host Rachel Maddow that it would release former employees who wanted to...

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals is not impressed whatsoever with an allegation that Fox News personality Sean Hannity was the real beneficiary of a settlement agreement between 21st Century Fox and Tamara Holder, an on-air contributor at Fox News.
Francisco Cortes, a former vice president at Fox News Latino, alleged being scapegoated when the $2.5 million Holder-Fox settlement leaked to The New York Times. He brought a $48 million suit that asserted he was defamed when Holder came forward to accuse him of assault, but the action was dismissed in January when a federal judge determined that Fox's statements to ...

Tucker Carlson posed for a chummy photograph on Thursday with longtime pal Roger Stone and two members of the Proud Boys, a fraternal organization that has been linked to last summer’s deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va.
In an explanation provided by a Fox News spokesperson, Carlson told TheWrap that the picture had been taken in the green room of the network’s Washington, D.C., bureau just before Stone’s appearance Thursday night on “The Ingraham Angle.”
Carlson declined to condemn the Proud Boys — which have been classified as a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center — and instead offered a statement via email.
“I strongly support and endorse every personal belief of every person I take a picture with on the street, the subway or in the green room, and always have,” he said, adding that his remark should be read as sarcastic.

When Sean Hannity was revealed in court April 16 <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sean-hannity-named-as-trump-lawyer-michael-cohens-mystery-third-client-1103133" target="_blank">as a mystery client of Donald Trump attorney Michael Cohen</a>, there were all sorts of reactions to the bombshell. Perhaps the strangest belongs to a New York attorney named J.A. Sanchez-Dorta, who for the past year has been representing Francisco Cortes, a former vice president at Fox News Latino who alleges being scapegoated on the sexual harassment front.

Political commentator Tamara Holder said News Corp owner Rupert Murdoch was either “a liar or delusional” for statements that were widely construed to dismiss concerns of a culture at Fox News that has allowed for rampant sexual harassment. Holder, who is a former contributor and guest host on Fox News Channel, had received a settlement after speaking out about her own encounter with sexual assault at the network. In an interview on CNN’s “Reliable Sources” on Sunday, she responded to Murdoch’s comments in which he brushed off the impact that multiple harassment claims have had on Fox News and dismissed it.

A segment Thursday on the Fox News Channel had one of its own contributors insulting one of the channel's top talents, as what might have been a mundane economic discussion devolved into a shouting match. It all started with a jar of candy. The segment on Hannity was supposed to be about President Barack Obama's plan to raise the debt ceiling, but host Sean Hannity interrupted himself in the midst of his first question to ask liberal contributor Tamara Holder, "What do you got there?"

For three and a half minutes on Tuesday night, Sean Hannity did his best to bash alt-country rocker Ryan Adams, whose music, according to Hannity, "isn't that popular," after Ryan posted a derogatory tweet about the conservative Fox News host on Monday night. Ryan's tweet was simple: "@SeanHannity Your entire soul is controlled by fear and by hate. Evolve little chicken man. See reality" The tweet has since been taken down. On his show on Tuesday night, Hannity spoke with Miss Oklahoma Anna-Marie Costello and Fox News contributor Tamara Holder in place of Adams, an odd conversation

Hannity Guest Bill Cunningham Erupts At Democrat Tamara Holder: ‘Know Your Role And Shut Your Mouth’
On Sean Hannity's show Thursday night, an argument over whether Eric Holder committed perjury got extremely heated between guest Bill Cunningham and Fox Analyst Tamara Holder. Cunningham, incensed over what he felt was Eric Holder's bold-faced lying, began screaming and jabbing his finger at Holder, who was sitting right next to him. "You are judicially challenged and you're one of the stooges of the left that will always be there to excuse away criminal behavior," he said to her.

On Monday's Hannity, the host had on Grammy-winning pop singer Rebecca St. James (me neither), as well as Fox News contributor Tamara Holder, to discuss their reactions to the international "slut walk" protests that began in Canada, spread to Boston, and will be crossing the pond to England next month. You'll remember that the whole movement was triggered by the sexist comments of a Toronto police officer back in January, who stated that women could avoid sexual assault by not dressing like sluts. The panel was unanimous in agreeing that you should never blame the victim. Holder reinforced the point by saying, "Just because you're dressed provocatively, does not mean that you welcome an abuser." But while St. James (who said she loves the "Modest is Hottest" t-shirt) more or less concurred, she added that there had to be a &[...]...
