On the eve of a key hearing in a defamation lawsuit against Fox News, the network has taken the unusual step of requesting a restraining order against producer Abby Grossberg, who plans to sue for discrimination and was deposed in the $1.6 billion case.
Lawyers for Fox filed a motion Monday in New York State Supreme Court requesting that producer Abby Grossberg be prevented from disclosing discussions she had with company lawyers before her testimony.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Grossberg’s attorney, Parisis G. Filippatos called Fox’s restraining order an “attempt to chill her,” adding that “her suit will reveal the truth, not the selected version of sanitized events that Fox is famous for.”Grossberg, an off-air staffer at Fox News for the past four years, has emerged as a key player in one of the programming decisions at the center of Dominion Voting Systems’ suit against Fox News.Dominion has sued Fox for $1.
Grossberg defended the decision to air claims like those Powell was promoting, according to segments of her deposition made public this month. “We bring on people and they give their opinions,” she said. “We are not an investigative program. The news was happening very quickly at this time. Often it was unfolding as we were on air. … Maria asked questions. The guests responded and gave their points of view, and it was up to the audience to decide.
