A former Fox News anchor fired over alleged sexual misconduct is suing the network and one of its
top executives for defamationFormer Fox News anchor Ed Henry, who was fired in 2020 over sexual misconduct claims, filed a lawsuit against the network and one of its top executives accusing them of defaming him.
Henry was fired from his job as co-presenter of "America's Newsroom" last year. It came after the network found evidence of "willful sexual misconduct" involving a former colleague, Jennifer Eckhart, in an internal investigation.
In a federal lawsuit Eckhart has alleged that Henry raped her in 2017, and harassed two other women. Henry has denied the allegations.
In his lawsuit, Henry claims that Fox executive Suzanne Scott "publicly smeared" him in her statement which outlined the misconduct claims and announced his termination.
