Fox News has built a basic cable ratings empire on its reputation as a bastion of conservative American values, but the channel’s supposedly wholesome image has been besmirched in recent months by numerous allegations of sexual harassment against ex-ceo Roger Ailes. Much of the focus in the Ailes story has been on the lawsuit filed in July by on-air personality Gretchen Carlson. But the scandal appears to extend well beyond Carlson and may, in fact, involve dozens of women employed at Fox News during Ailes’ reign. One such dissatisfied ex-employee is Andrea Tantaros, familiar to Fox viewers from her appearances on panel shows like The Five and Outnumbered. Once considered, in Sean Hannity’s words, a “rising bright young smart conservative star” at the network, Tantaros found herself suspended indefinitely by Fox. The alleged reason was her failure to obtain the proper “approvals” for a book she’d written...

Andrea Tantaros, co-host of Fox News’ “Outnumbered,” mysteriously disappeared from the network in April. A Fox statement said “issues have arisen” with her contract, and that she was going to “take some time off.” Three months later, when Gretchen Carlson and other women accused former Fox chief Roger Ailes of sexual harassment, it seemed like the mystery of what really happened to Tantaros might be solved — especially after New York Magazine reported Monday that she had repeatedly complained to executives in 2015 “about Ailes’s inappropriate sexual behavior.” The magazine reported she was demoted and silenced. But Tuesday brought another twist.

Stacey Dash's latest round of comments have made quite a few people angry—including one of her former employers.

Understandably, Bet wasn't happy. They were quick to remind Dash, too, that she was on The Game, a Bet original show, from 2009 to 2011. The Bet Twitter and Instagram accounts both shared a photo from the show, quipping, "Soooooo @realstaceyldash, can we get our check back... or nah? #Remember...

Fox News host Stacey Dash has some advice for women in Hollywood making less than their male counterparts: “Know your value.” On Tuesday’s episode of “Outnumbered,” featuring co-host Dash and guest host Dean Cain, the show’s panel tackled the growing outcry among actresses about the pay disparity between men and women in the entertainment industry. Dash, who starred in the movie “Clueless” and its television follow-up of the same name, offered her advice for women making an average of 40 cents on the dollar. “Be a better negotiator,” she said. “Know your value.” Also read: Fox News Launches Annual 'War on Christmas' Crusade.
