According to Areu, Carlson began “probing” to see whether she would participate in a sexual relationship and then “promptly retaliated” after she declined.
Similarly, Cathy Areu claims that an incident of harassment by Tucker Carlson of Tucker Carlson Tonight resulted in her being reduced from regular appearances in 2018 to only a few in 2019 and none in 2020.
She states in the lawsuit that she “had no choice but to comply” with Carlson’s request that she stay until the end of a broadcast, made on live TV while she was attached to her chair by her microphone.
