Grossberg told lawyers it did not make her feel uncomfortable and she did not know how she would react if that type of language was used by Carlson and those around him. She also claims she was encouraged to lie when Dominion’s lawyers presented her with the message in which Carlson called Powell the C-word and a “bitch”. Staffers sat around joking about which female politicians they would rather sleep with, Grossberg alleges. The Los Angeles Times reported that Rupert Murdoch, the 92-year-old patriarch of the owning family, decided to fire Carlson with input from top officials.Ĭarlson faces a separate lawsuit from Abby Grossberg, a former senior booking producer who claims there was a sexist and hostile working environment on his show. The Fox executives Suzanne Scott and Lachlan Murdoch reportedly made the decision on Friday. Dobbs’s show was cancelled in 2021 but Bartiromo and Pirro remain.Ĭarlson was one of Fox’s biggest stars before he was abruptly fired on Monday, reportedly learning of his fate 10 minutes before it was announced. The thrust of Dominion’s defamation claims involved other anchors: Maria Bartiromo, Jeanine Pirro and Lou Dobbs. Rolling Stone reported on Tuesday that the network has a dossier of damaging information about him. More embarrassing information about Carlson may yet come to light. The primetime host’s internal messages were among the most embarrassing for Fox, as he said he “passionately hated” Trump, called for a colleague to be fired for accurately fact-checking claims about voting machines, and bluntly criticized Powell. Other messages in which he called the Donald Trump adviser and attorney Sidney Powell attorney a C-word and a “bitch” were made public as part of the lawsuit. Carlson, however, was still reportedly furious the network was not doing enough to protect him. In a case settled last week for $787.5m, Fox lawyers reportedly convinced the Delaware judge to redact the message from public filings.

Carlson described a senior Fox News executive as a C-word in a text message obtained by lawyers as part of a defamation lawsuit between the network and Dominion Voting Systems, according to the Journal, which like Fox is part of the Murdoch media empire.
