Tucker Carlson Being Sued Among Other Things, For Anti-Semitic Joking In Workplace by Abby Grossberg

 Nadene Goldfoot                                         

      Abby Grossberg  Suing Tucker Carlson---New York Times/Desiree Rios:  Male Producers of Tucker told anti-Semitic Jokes.  From what I've read, Abby is a cool person, great personality, smart in appearance, likeable.  

Abby Grossberg was head of Tucker Carlson booking, a journalist and also one of the producers of Fox News.  Abby Grossberg was a producer for Fox News who worked with hosts Maria Bartiromo and Tucker Carlson. Before I switched to having a Smart TV, I used to like to watch  Bartiromo on Fox.   Abby didn't appreciate his male producers telling anti-Semitic jokes as she is Jewish.  "Mr. Carlson’s staff joked about Jews and freely deployed a vulgar term for women, according to the complaint."

 Fox has strongly denied the claims, and insists Grossberg was sacked for ignoring instructions not to disclose privileged information about the Dominion case.  Dominion Voting Systems is seeking $1.6 billion in damages from Fox News, after guests on the network falsely 

claimed its polling machines were part of a conspiracy to steal 

the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump.

Abby's life before Fox-below:

Abby Grossberg  is an award-winning journalist with over a

decade of experience writing and producing for top-rated net-

work broadcasts. She is currently a producer at "ABC World

 News Tonight with David Muir," where she covers breaking 

news, politics, and finance for the number one evening news-

cast. Previously, Abby launched two network shows, including 

"CBS This Morning," where she booked, wrote and produced 

interviews with high-profile guests including Michael Bloomberg

, Howard Schultz, Serena Williams, Tom Hanks and the late 

Sen. John McCain. She has also served as a media advisor to

 C-level executives, entertainers, influencers and other on-air 

experts. 

There's not much known about Abby other than she's 5'8" and weighs about 110 lbs.  She could easily be a model.  She's married, so Grossberg could be a married surname.  Since one comment I read said that "Abby’s nationality is American, and she is a follower of Christianity," tells me that Grossberg might just be her married surname.  However, Grossberg’s family has not been publicly identified, but she has said she is Jewish and experienced anti-Semitism at Fox.  She does know how to deflect questions about her religion, evidently.  Some producers are throwing us a bone towards not being Jewish-thus the anti-Semitism.  She's just not your basic standard Jewish stereotype, evidently.  

Grossberg is suing Fox News for discrimination based on gender, religion and disability and for coercing her into giving misleading testimony in the defamation case filed by Dominion Voting Systems against the network.  The network fired Abby Grossberg on March 27, 2023, after she filed lawsuits accusing Fox News of pressuring her to give false and misleading testimony in a defamation case filed by Dominion Voting Systems.  She has also said that she received death threats after her lawsuits became public.

Grossberg claims in her law suits submitted in Delaware and New York that “Fox News Attorneys acted as agents and at the behest of Fox News to misleadingly coach, manipulate, and coerce her to give misleading testimony to protect on-air talent, executives and Fox Corporation.”  

"Abby Grossberg is a veteran journalist who has worked in this field for many years. She has won several awards for her work, including a Gracie."  This must also mean that she's been married as long as she's been a Grossberg and a journalist; or that she's been using her maiden name all along.   

In the 2020 United States presidential election, equipment manufactured by Dominion was used to process votes in twenty-eight states, including the swing states of Wisconsin and Georgia.

The company was subjected to extensive attention following the 2020 election, in which then-president Donald Trump was defeated by Joe Biden, with Trump and various surrogates promoting conspiracy theories, which falsely alleged that Dominion was part of an international cabal that stole the election from Trump, and that it used its voting machines to transfer millions of votes that had been cast for Trump instead to Biden. There was no evidence supporting these claims, which have been debunked by various groups including election technology experts, government and voting industry officials, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

Dominion Voting Systems Corporation is a company that produces and sells electronic voting hardware and software, including voting machines and tabulators, in Canada and the United States. The company's headquarters are in TorontoOntario, where it was founded, and Denver, Colorado.

Coersion comes into play.  How much is allowed for a person to be coerced.  What were the threats?  Firing her would be one which they did.  One does need to take a stand against lies, no matter if being fired is threatened.  These were big lies.  Good girl.  Joan Peters, another journalist who wrote "From Time Immemorial," had standards as well.
