Justin Wells, who was Tucker Carlson’s top producer at Fox News and left the network to work with the host on his X show, was accused of sexual assault over an incident that allegedly occurred more than a decade ago.

Tucker Carlson’s top producer, who left Fox News along with the far-right host to work on his X show, is accused of sexually assaulting a former colleague in an alleged incident that occurred more than a decade ago.

Andrew Delancey, a former Fox News employee, filed a lawsuit against Justin Wells, the former executive producer of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” accusing him of sexual assault and harassment in 2008 when Delancey moved to New York for a job with Fox News’ affiliate video service.

The lawsuit, filed Monday in New York State court before a deadline set under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, also names Fox News and its parent company Fox Corporation as defendants. The law gave survivors a one-year window to bring claims against abusers, setting aside the statute of limitations for civil lawsuits.

      Well, you have to be a fan of not only toxic, but radioactive masculinity in order to believe this MAGA bullshit, so we could just jail all the leaders and figure out their crimes later. I bet wed not have to let anyone go free…
      Or, as a German proverb goes: put them in a bag and hit them with a club, you’ll never hit the wrong one.

    This kind of thing sure seems to have happened quite a bit at Fox. Maybe there seems to be a whole lot of sociopathic predatory behavior among conservatives.
