Former Fox News Analyst Tamara Holder Shares Explicit Details of Sexual Assault
Former Fox News analyst Tamara Holder publicly revealed the details of her workplace sexual assault to CNN, because she believes Rupert Murdoch violated the terms of her settlement agreement in an interview where he described sexual misconduct allegations at Fox News as "nonsense."
“Fox News ruined people’s lives,” Holder said. “He [Murdoch] ruined my life. I don’t have a job in TV anymore because the place that he has secured down like Fort Knox allowed abusive predators to work."
She excoriated Murdoch for trying to downplay the pervasive culture of sexual predation at Fox News and dismiss some accounts as being "flirting."
“Let me be clear. I had a man pull out his penis in his office and shove my head on it. That was not flirting, that was criminal. That was not sexual harassment," Holder explained.
She said she expects to be sued for speaking out about the culture of sexual misconduct at Fox News, but believes she hasn't violated the terms of her settlement.
"What Mr. Murdoch said, in my opinion as a lawyer, not as a victim or a survivor, as a lawyer, is that this gives me a legal right to respond," she said. "And I'm responding not for myself, but on behalf of every woman in America who has been abused."
