The former Tucker Carlson producer who sued Fox News last week alleging she was pressured into giving misleading testimony about the networks coverage of supposed election fraud has filed new allegations about coercive coaching by Fox lawyers, bias and unprofessional behavior by staff members, and retaliation by the network.
In papers filed Monday morning, Abby Grossberg seeks to correct the Sept. 14 deposition she gave about the networks coverage of Dominion Voting Systems, which she says was tainted by pressure from Fox lawyers. Grossberg alleges she was not able to see a transcript of her testimony before it was made part of the record, even though she requested a chance to see it six times, while male colleagues were allowed to see their transcripts. She says she was able to review and correct it only more than five months later, after she retained her own attorneys.

(8,870 posts)It will also be interesting to learn what it was she was told to lie about.
I suppose the ethical response to this pressure would have been to inform the court immediately they she was being pressured to perjure herself. I'm not an attorney, but I believe witness tampering is a crime for which people can be prosecuted.
Let's see what the courts and prosecutors do with this, if anything.

(22,686 posts)I can't be the only one noticing that these powerful men are routinely duping unsuspecting women into taking the legal risks they themselves are determined to dodge.
tfg did it with several "lawyers" and so of course, Rupert Murdoch followed suit.
Women are trying to break glass ceilings in male -dominated industries to their own detriment. I don't know if it's actually said out loud that the women have to prove their loyalty by taking these risks, or if they just understand that anything less won't give them the boost over the fence they need to break in.
Either way, women are being framed for male wrong-doing.
