Fox News Producer Fired After Accusing Network of Coercive Coaching and Unprofessional Behavior

A Fox News producer has been fired after accusing the network of pressuring her into giving misleading testimony in a defamation case against Dominion. The producer, Jessica Grossberg, alleged in court papers that Fox News had subjected her to “coercive coaching” and “unprofessional behavior” by staff members in preparation for her deposition.

Grossberg’s attorneys argued that her firing was a “pretextual” attempt by Fox News to “mask its continued unlawful conduct.” Fox News has denied all wrongdoing in the case.

Grossberg said she felt she had to do everything possible to avoid becoming the “star witness” for Dominion or else she would be seriously jeopardizing her career at Fox News. She also alleged that she was subjected to retaliation by the network.

In response to Grossberg’s allegations, Fox News issued a statement saying that she had been fired for “improperly disclosing information regarding the Dominion/Fox Lawsuit that the Company purportedly believed was privileged.”

The case is ongoing, and Grossberg’s attorneys are seeking to have her reinstated at Fox News and to receive damages for her alleged mistreatment. It remains to be seen how the case will play out and what the ultimate outcome will be.
