Fired US TV anchor Taryn Asher calls boss ‘B****’ in viral newsroom video amid lawsuit
Former Detroit TV anchor Taryn Asher was caught on video using profanity during a heated newsroom exchange with her boss. The incident has emerged as she sues Fox over her firing, while the station says she was removed for alleged unprofessional conduct.
Former Detroit TV anchor Taryn Asher accused her boss of using the expletive "b****" during a heated argument in a recent viral video from the newsroom. Asher, who was fired from WJBK-TV Fox 2 Detroit in November last year, is now suing Fox Television Stations and New World Communications of Detroit for sex discrimination and retaliation.
Fox maintains that Asher was removed due to "unprofessional workplace behavior" and "outbursts." The video, captured by FTVLive and Deadline Detroit, shows Asher discussing issues with scripts and the timing of a public service announcement. Asher and Fox dispute the claims, with Asher's attorney stating that the video does not tell the full story and was addressed internally prior to her termination. The lawsuit is ongoing.
