Andrea Tantaros, the former Fox News host who has accused network personnel of sexual harassment, has seen her companion lawsuit alleging that she was subjected to illegal surveillance dismissed by a Manhattan federal judge.
U.S. District Judge George B. Daniels of the Southern District of New York said Tantaros failed to state a claim and her suit was “based primarily on speculation and conjecture.”
Tantaros, in the 2017 lawsuit, said Fox “targeted her for electronic and physical surveillance after she lodged complaints of sexual harassment against [Roger] Ailes and other Fox News executives,” Daniels opinion said.
