Britt McHenry files sexual harassment lawsuit against Fox News

Britt McHenry filed a sexual harassment lawsuit Tuesday against Fox News and her former Fox Nation co-host George “Tyrus” Murdoch.

In the suit, McHenry accuses Murdoch of sending her sexually explicit text messages and behaving in a “volatile and unpredictable” way. She alleges that Murdoch sent her a text message on one occasion, which read: “I love pony tails and braids you look amazing and it's a real turn on not that you care but I love it.” On another occasion, McHenry claims that she received a text saying, “the picture looks so good I would knock up the picture . . . crazy sexy love your legs.”

McHenry’s lawsuit also alleges that after she filed a complaint in October with the New York State Division of Human Rights, Fox News retaliated against her by giving her “far fewer professional opportunities,” including a reduced number of on-air appearances.
