Fox News host Sean Hannity has been forced to deny he sexually harassed a former guest on his popular cable news program.
Debbie Schlussel said on Friday that the married anchor invited her back to his hotel in Detroit after the pair met up at a book signing, and that after she turned down the father-of-two’s advances she was not invited back on his show.
Schlussel also said Hannity, whose show draws an average of more than two million viewers a night, got angry when she turned ‘redhead’ and claims the veteran broadcaster asked her ‘creepy’ questions about her pants size.
In an interview with Tulsa, Oklahoma-based radio host Pat Campbell, she said: ‘This kind of stuff is all over the place at Fox News and anything that has to do with Sean Hannity.’
Then on Monday, Schlussel gave an interview expressing her disbelief over the coverage of the story, saying that she never accused Hannity of sexual harassment.
‘I would never accuse him of that. Sexual harassment has a special meaning under the law, and I would never accuse him of that,’ Schlussel said in an interview with LawNewz.
‘I never thought I was sexually harassed by Sean Hannity, I thought he was weird and creepy not someone I liked.’
That about face came just hours after Hannity denied Schlussel’s allegations and accused her of seeking attention in a statement to DailyMail.com before threatening legal action.
