The lawsuit claims that Bill Shine, co-president of Fox News, and Irena Briganti, Fox News executive, retaliated against her allegations through “illegal electronic surveillance,” by hacking her personal computer and with the use of so-called “sock puppet” stalking social media accounts.
Tantaros claims to have forensic evidence that her computer was not hacked remotely but manually broken into by a “Fox News operative”.
‘Her lawsuit claims to have “overwhelming evidence” of the involvement of Fox News operatives in the surveillance of her email and phone calls and then the use of “sock puppet” social media accounts to “cryptically let her know she was under surveillance.”’
In a new lawsuit filed in New York, former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros, who is suing the network for alleged sexual harassment by Bill O’Reilly and Roger Ailes, has claimed that it used “digital weapons” to spy, monitor and intimidate her.
