Former Fox 2 Detroit anchor Taryn Asher is facing legal action after a video surfaced showing her heated exchange with a colleague in which she called her "bitch." The footage emerged as Asher filed a lawsuit against Fox Television Stations and New World Communications of Detroit for alleged sex discrimination and retaliation. Fox denies the allegations, stating that Asher was fired due to repeated workplace conduct issues.
In the video, Asher is heard discussing scripts and the pressure of preparing for a public service announcement, but the conversation quickly turns contentious. Asher can be heard telling her colleague, "Bitch," before adding, "Can I please finish what I'm going to say?" She then vents about the workplace dispute, saying, "I'm so done with her antics, telling on me every five seconds.
I'm done." Fox cites Asher's repeated outbursts in the newsroom and multiple instances of unprofessional conduct as reasons for her removal from the air. Asher's lawsuit, however, argues that she was fired because of gender discrimination and retaliation after raising concerns about favoritism toward male colleagues. Her attorney stated that they disagree with Fox's characterization of Asher's behavior and emphasized that the video does not provide the full context of the dispute.
