Former Tucker producer withdraws lawsuit against Fox News, but signals it’s not over
4–5 minutes
Fired Fox News producer Abby Grossberg withdrew one of her lawsuits against her former employer Friday, but her attorney foretold more legal action “in the coming weeks.”
As the cable news network was dealing with its $1.6 billion defamation suit from Dominion Voting Systems, the producer who had worked for both Tucker Carlson and Maria Bartiromo had filed her own suits, one of which was directly tied. In March, Grossberg’s suit which preceded her termination by four days, had asserted she had been manipulated and coerced by Fox News attorneys on how to answer questions during testimony.
Now, The New York Times has reported that Grossberg had withdrawn that from Delaware Superior Court and that she may be intending to refile in a new jurisdiction.
“Fox would be mistaken in viewing our client’s voluntary dismissal of her civil conspiracy claims as a retreat from those claims,” her attorney Parisis G. Filippatos told the Times.
“We have often stated in public,” he added, “that we believe Abby Grossberg’s claims surrounding her coerced testimony in the Dominion case form the essential connective tissue between Fox’s misconduct in that case and the case being adjudicated by Smartmatic in New York, where it is seeking $2.7 billion in damages for very similar misconduct by Fox.”
