Eckhart said her interactions began in 2014 when she was working at Fox News as a production assistant. “As a 24-year-old girl, when the chief White House correspondent follows you on Twitter, you, you know, you get stars in your eyes,” she said.
But later, Eckhart said she saw a different side of Henry. In her lawsuit, she accuses Henry of “violently” raping her while she was “helpless and restrained in metal handcuffs.” Eckhart also alleged that Henry performed “sadistic acts on her…that left her injured, bruised and battered with bloody wrists.”
Asked how she would characterize her relationship with Henry, Eckhart told Duncan that it was abusive “without question.”
“I felt that he had the power to derail me, to destroy me, to ruin my career. And, I just, I didn’t have a voice until now,” said Eckhart, who also alleged in her lawsuit that Henry asked her to be his “sex slave.”
