Fox News Producer Jennifer Grossberg Files Two Lawsuits Against Company, Accusing Fox News Lawyers of Pressure and Misogyny in $1.6 Billion Defamation Suit Against Dominion Voting Systems

Fox News producer Jennifer Grossberg has filed two lawsuits against the company on Monday, accusing Fox News lawyers of pressuring her to give misleading testimony in the ongoing $1.6 billion defamation suit by Dominion Voting Systems. The Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis will hear arguments from both sides on Tuesday.

Grossberg alleges that Fox News lawyers pressured her to avoid mentioning prominent male executives and on-air talent to protect them in the Dominion lawsuit. She also claims that the lawyers planned to see her and Maria Bartiromo take the blame for any conspiracy theories that aired on Fox News about Dominion, citing a culture of misogyny at the network.

The lawsuits come after Fox News Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch was asked whether Fox News “endorsed” the idea that the 2020 election was stolen. Murdoch responded by name-checking Lou Dobbs, Maria Bartiromo, and Sean Hannity, saying “Some of our commentators were endorsing it.”

The defamation lawsuit between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems has been ongoing since February 2021. Fox News has denied the allegations made by Grossberg, and has stated that they are “committed to providing a safe and respectful workplace for all employees.”

The outcome of the defamation lawsuit between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems could have far-reaching implications for the media industry. The Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis will hear arguments from both sides on Tuesday, and a decision is expected soon.
