Fox News Fires Longtime Contributor Andrew Napolitano After Lawsuit Alleges Same-Sex Sexual Harassment

The Hill reports:

Andrew Napolitano is out as a contributor at Fox News as he faces allegations of sexual harassment contained in a lawsuit against the network filed Monday.

Napolitano, formerly a top legal analyst at the network, “sexually harassed numerous young male employees during his tenure at Fox News,” according a lawsuit filed by Fox Business production assistant John Fawcett.

Fawcett, 27, alleges that during a 2019 interaction in an elevator at Fox News headquarters, Napolitano stood “awkwardly close” to him and began stroking his arm. Napolitano told Fawcett he could come visit him on his horse farm in New Jersey and “suggestively” said his hands “get really dirty,” according to the lawsuit.

Read the full article. Earlier today I noted that Napolitano, who has never come out, was sued for sexual assault last year by two men, one of whom claims he was promised a lenient sentence in return for performing oral sex.
