Fired Fox News Producer Breaks Silence on NBC News: ‘I Was Bullied, Intimidated and Coerced’
Former Fox News producer Abby Grossberg described how, she says, the network’s lawyers coerced her testimony — in what was her first time publicly speaking about her lawsuits against Fox.
Grossberg gave an interview to NBC News’ Cynthia McFadden after mounting bombshell claims against her former employer. Grossberg’s lawsuits include accusations of sexual harassment, anti-Semitism, and misogyny amongst her ex-colleagues. She also claims that Fox’s lawyers instructed her to give misleading testimony while the network is being sued for defamation by Dominion Voting Systems.
In a statement provided to NBC News, Fox News Media said their attorneys provide legal advice as necessary to employees, and that Grossberg was “free to file whatever legal claims she wished” but she had “ignored” their communications that advised her that she was in possession of “privileged information [she] was not authorized to discourse it publicly.” They also noted that they “will continue to vigorously defend Fox against Ms. Grossberg’s unmeritorious legal claims, which are riddled with false allegations against Fox and our employees.”
NBC News previewed a portion of the interview where Grossberg elaborated on her claim that Fox set her up to take the blame for the 2020 election conspiracy theories they gave air to.
“I realized that the answers that they wanted me to say were putting me in a very vulnerable position to be the company scapegoat,” she said. “I knew I was bullied, intimidated and coerced into saying that just to keep my job and stay at the company. And the question a lot of people would have is, ‘why would you do that?’”
Answering her own question, Grossberg explained “I made the decision to keep my job so that I can keep paying my bills. It seemed like the safer decision for me at the time.”
McFadden proceeded to follow up with that very question. You can see Grossberg’s answer above. (The interview will air in full on Thursday’s NBC Nightly News.)
