Fox News Fires analyst Andrew Napolitano after Larry Kudlow producer accused him of stroking his arm and making sexually suggestive comments in an elevator
An associate producer has filed a
lawsuit against Fox News Network, saying he was discriminated against because of his gender and subjected to unwelcome attention from on-air personality Andrew Napolitano, who was dramatically fired from the network on Monday evening.
John Fawcett, who works on the Kudlow show hosted by Larry Kudlow on Fox Business Network, claims in his lawsuit filed in state Supreme Court in Manhattan that 'sexual harassment, sex discrimination, and racial discrimination are still tolerated at Fox.'
He said executives 'will bend over backwards to protect such behavior so long as it is perpetrated by senior management or prominent on-air personalities.'
John Fawcett, 27, who was hired in March 2019, said he was in an elevator with Fox personality Andrew Napolitano later that year when Napolitano stroked his arm and made suggestive comments
In a statement, Fox News Media said it had investigated and addressed Fawcett's claim against the personality, and that his additional claims were 'baseless and nothing more than a desperate attempt at a payday.'
