Abby Grossberg, a former Fox News producer, has accused Tucker Carlson of creating a hostile work environment during her time at the network.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Grossberg described her experience working with Carlson as a “nightmare,” saying he frequently made misogynistic and racist comments.
What allegations does Abby Grossberg make?
Fox News terminated Grossberg after complaining about Carlson’s behaviour to the network’s human resources department.
She says that Carlson routinely belittled and criticised her, making derogatory comments about her appearance and accusing her of being “stupid” and “incompetent.” Grossberg also claims that Carlson frequently made racist and sexist remarks about others on the network.
In her interview with The Daily Beast, Grossberg says that she felt “helpless and trapped” while working with Carlson and ultimately decided to file a complaint with human resources after he began screaming at her in front of other staff members.

Fox News denied Grossberg’s allegations, saying she was fired for “performance issues.” In a statement to The Daily Beast, the network said it “takes all allegations of inappropriate conduct seriously” and thoroughly investigated Grossberg’s complaint.
