In a discrimination lawsuit, a former Fox News producer said she was forced to spy against host Maria Bartiromo, who one producer allegedly called 'crazy,' 'menopausal,' and said she often became 'hysterical,' while another called her a 'crazy b****.'
Grossberg said Fox executives called Bartiromo names behind the scenes. One producer, the suit says, called Bartiromo"crazy,""menopausal," and said she often became"hysterical," while another described her as a"diva."Ralph Giordano, vice president of news coverage at Fox Business Network,"used his position of power to coerce Ms. Grossberg into spying on Ms. Bartiromo," according to Grossberg's complaint.
Specifically, after the producer was chastised for failing to run a disclaimer about Dominion's denial that its voting system had changed votes in the 2020 election before a segment railing against the company, Giordano told Grossberg he would give her a chance at"a clean start" as long as she reported back to him regarding Bartiromo's activities.
Giordano wasn't the only executive to pit the female staff against each other, Grossberg's lawyers argue in the filing. Jerry Andrews, vice president of weekend news at Fox News Media, is also said to have also requested Grossberg spy on the host. "On January 25, 2022, Mr. Andrews called Ms. Grossberg and requested that she spy on and document Ms. Bartiromo's actions and report back to him," so that Fox News Media President Lauren Petterson could"get out in front of it," the complaint reads."In February 2022, Mr. Andrews reiterated his directive to Ms. Grossberg to 'keep an eye' on Ms. Bartiromo and report back anything 'crazy' that she said.
