U.S. District Judge George Daniels in Manhattan, N.Y., dismissed a harassment lawsuit filed by former FOX News Channel (US) anchor Andrea Tantaros against the 21st Century Fox Inc. unit, Broadcasting & Cable reported May 18.
The judge ruled that Tantaros' complaint was based mainly on "speculation and conjecture" and that she failed "to adequately make out the basic elements of her claims."
In 2016, Tantaros rejected a settlement proposed by FOX News. A lawyer representing Tantaros said FOX News had proposed an offer of "seven figures" to settle a sexual harassment suit that named the network and several of its senior executives as defendants.
