Sean Hannity vows legal action after sexual harassment accusation
By Joe Concha - 04/24/17 09:22 AM EDT
Sean Hannity has vowed to sue a former network contributor with "some of the finest and toughest lawyers in the country" after she accused the Fox News host of sexual harassment, as other allegations of sexual harassment continue to roil the network.
Conservative commentator Debbie Schlussel said in a Friday radio interview that Hannity once invited her back to his hotel room after an event at a Detroit bookstore.

I'm having to go with Hannity on this. I remember Debbie from FR and in my opinion, she was a loon. Always writing JR threatening to sue any time anyone was critical of her (her harassment go so bad he banned her). Her attacks on the Freedom Network proved to be bogus and completely made up. I saw some crazy behavior from her on FB too.

Scammity taking advice from DT. Now that is funny.

I always wondered why FNC would put her on the air. I'm not a Hannity fan, but . . . :blank:

Despite Reports, Fmr Fox Guest Now Claims She Was Never Sexually Harassed by Sean Hannity
by Rachel Stockman | 8:59 am, April 24th, 2017
Debbie Schlussel, a former Fox News guest, appeared on a local radio show on Friday and recounted an incident where Sean Hannity purportedly asked her to a hotel, and when she rebuffed his advances, she claims, she was ostracized by the network star. The story has since gone viral garnering headlines like “Sean Hannity Accused of Sexually Harassing Fox News Guest” in publications like The Daily Beast and The Huffington Post. Now, in an interview with LawNewz.com on Monday morning, Schlussel is denying that she was ever sexually harassed by Sean Hannity. While Schlussel stands by her description of the incident, Schlussel told us that she doesn’t believe what happened between the two amounted to sexual harassment by any legal definition.

I guess Debbie changed her mind after being threatened with legal action...those who made fun of Pence's philosophy about never being alone with another woman other that your wife take note.

Despite Reports, Fmr Fox Guest Now Claims She Was Never Sexually Harassed by Sean Hannity
Law Newz, Apr 24, 2017, Rachel Stockman
Debbie Schlussel, a former Fox News guest, appeared on a local radio show on Friday and recounted an incident where Sean Hannity purportedly asked her to a hotel, and when she rebuffed his advances, she claims, she was ostracized by the network star. The story has since gone viral garnering headlines like “Sean Hannity Accused of Sexually Harassing Fox News Guest” in publications like The Daily Beast and The Huffington Post. Now, in an interview with LawNewz.com on Monday morning, Schlussel is denying that she was ever sexually harassed by Sean Hannity. While Schlussel stands by her description of the incident, Schlussel told us that she doesn’t believe what happened between the two amounted to sexual harassment by any legal definition.
“I would never accuse him of that. Sexual harassment has a special meaning under the law, and I would never accuse him of that,” Schlussel, an attorney herself, said. Schlussel said the interaction happened in the early 2000’s when Hannity was in Detroit taping a show.
“He tried to get me to go back to the hotel after the show after he and his executive producer Bill Shine treated me horribly,” she said on the radio program. Schlussel later clarified that it wasn’t his hotel room, but rather his hotel. She told LawNewz.com that she did go on the show following the incident, but after that was “banned from Fox News.”
“I never thought I was sexually harassed by Sean Hannity, I thought he was weird and creepy not someone I liked,” Schlussel said.
Following the radio interview on Friday, Hannity issued a strongly worded statement denying Schlussel’s claims saying he plans to take legal action against Schlussel for possible libel.
“LET ME BE CLEAR THE COMMENTS ABOUT ME ON A RADIO SHOW THIS WEEK by this individual ARE 100% false and a complete fabrication,” Hannity said in a statement obtained by LawNewz.com. “This individual is a serial harasser who has been lying about me for well over a decade...

So she's basically saying that while Hannity sexually harassed her, as she recounted it, she personally wouldn't describe it as harassment.
How do slander laws view these kinds of weasel words?

Billy Graham lived by that rule more than a half century ago. (I'll bet that's where Pence got the idea).
It solves two problems. Temptation and false accusations.

Remember when Vice President Pence said he never meets or dines with women alone? This is why.

Hannity's statement:
“LET ME BE CLEAR – THE COMMENTS ABOUT ME ON A RADIO SHOW THIS WEEK by this individual are 100% false and a complete fabrication.
This individual is a serial harasser who has been lying about me for well over a decade. The individual has a history of making provably false statements against me in an effort to slander, smear and besmirch my reputation.
The individual has not just slandered me over the years but many people who this individual disagrees with.
This individual desperately seeks attention by any means necessary, including making unfounded personal attacks and using indefensible and outrageous political rhetoric.
My patience with this individual is over. I have retained a team of some of the finest and toughest lawyers in the country who are now in the process of laying out the legal course of action we will be taking against this individual.
In this fiercely divided & vindictive political climate, I will no longer allow slander and lies about me to go unchallenged, as I see a coordinated effort afoot to now silence those with conservative views. I will fight every single lie about me by all legal means available to me as an American.”

Sean Hannity Raped My Dog!
Well, he didn't actually rape my dog. But he did pet her. Twice.
Ok. So she created a "sexual harassment" headline, and now she says she was lying. This woman is in some serious legal hot water. And her flailing attempts to 'fix it' are just making the situation worse.

He would look better if he let it grow out some and just brush it back without using all the flattening agent that plasters down his hair.

Not that I believe Hannity did this, but it ain't about the looks if he did.

I'm not a Hannity fan, but this is complete garbage. She's subsequently admitted that even as alleged, it wasn't "sexual harassment", and clarified that he didn't invite her back to his hotel room, but rather to the hotel. That could just have been drinks at b.s.'ing about politics at the bar.

I remember that. Grant at the time could have had any beautiful woman he asked. Seen numerous men over the years with attractive wives or GF have a ding ding with the most unattractive women in the world. I don't get it.
If I ever cheated she better be darn well better looking than my wife.

Some of the ladies on TBR, explained that sexual harassment is not as much about sex as it is about power. Making a woman do something that she would not ordinarily do, is a turn on for some guys. And if she is married, there is the additional thrill of picking your neighbor's fruit. So, it has little to do with looks, or love. Like monkey tribes in Africa, it is more about a needy, insecure man, trying to prove that he is the dominant male in his world. Hannity doesn't seem the type to need this kind of self validation. However, Bill O'Reilly does act like that type.

Hannity was full on crazy for Trump, too. There's a lot of crazy going on.

In my experience women are just as bad if not worse then men in this regard. Some women will use any edge to get ahead.

Of course. And after they sleep with you, they have you by the balls, so to speak. Especially if you're married. I don't get it. To me, it's just adults pretending that they're still in high school.

Because she is below the 4 on crazy scale and is a 9 or above. Since all women are crazy that means this she is a he.

Hannity did just the right thing in response to such an accusation -- go back after the accuser.
It's what Bill O'Reilly -should have- done. Fight back with all guns blazing. If he had done that, he'd probably still be there.

I'm guessing that the legal eagles at Fox News are the ones responsible for Fox paying settlements vs. fighting the accusations. You know most attorneys are about as liberal as they come. It has become much easier to pay up than fight these BS allegations and the corporations call the tune. O'Reilly probably could have just resigned, of course, if he had not agreed to settle. But that would have been his only option (again, my guess here).
Giving in to the left's intimidation, accusations and BS is always a bad idea, IMO.
