Fox News host Sean Hannity lost it after accusations he tried to pressure frequent show guest Debbie Schlussel into coming to his hotel room.

***

“LET ME BE CLEAR THE COMMENTS ABOUT ME ON A RADIO SHOW THIS WEEK by this individual ARE 100 percent false and a complete fabrication,” Hannity explained. “This individual is a serial harasser who has been lying about me for well over a decade. The individual has a history of making provably false statements against me in an effort to slander, smear and besmirch my reputation.”

He claimed Schlussel has slandered him over the years as a desperate need for attention, “including making unfounded personal attacks and using indefensible and outrageous political rhetoric.”

“My patience with this individual is over,” Hannity continued. “I have retained a team of some of the finest and toughest lawyers in the country who are now in the process of laying out the legal course of action we will be taking against this individual.”

1. If he wasn't such a prick,

I might feel just a little bit of concern for him. But he is. So I don't.

2. Squirm you worm.

3. Where there's smoke

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. People, I know this will be a popular thread

PLEASE look at this


I did a thread on it, WHY was O'Reilly fired and WHY did he pay damages?

The passage of Title VII in 1964 prohibited sex discrimination in the workplace - Civil Rights Act


Quiz time:

Which political party and group of people would absolutely do everything in their power to not just do away with sexual harassment laws but do away with the Civil Rights Act period?

Class? Class?

5. Insanity Hannity could just say it ain't so and be done with this mess,,,,

But NO, he acts guilty and hires the best lawyers to fight little girl....????????

[exboyfil]

8. Actually if I valued my reptuation and marriage

I would fight any accusation like this. I don't know if the accusation is true, but his response is what I would do if I had the means.

Neither one seems to have much credibility. I would not characterize his accuser as a "little girl" either.

[pbmus]

20. Looking at the big picture, not your politically correct idioms,

I am simply saying he is a public figure taking an elephant gun to shoot a single female.

Size matters only to guilty men.

[cwydro]

23. Um...little girl?

Have I missed something?

[pbmus]

25. Yep, I am a misoginistic racist anti female mf ...

looking for a fight...

I was trying to portray one single female against the gigantic public figure insanity hannity. However the entire thought was lost to political correctness...and calling a female a little girl to show the disparity in public views about insanity hannity and his accuser.

I am understanding why Bill Maher gets so angry at the left.

[cwydro]

26. Wow.

Well, alrighty then.

[Volaris]

6. LOL at 'this individual is a serial harasser...'

Get Sean to an IMAX theatre like, right fucking now.

[monmouth4]

7. Methinks he doth protest too much..LOL..n/t

[dmr]

9. I was going to post the same thing. But if he has to have

a team of lawyers to go after this "individual" (that cracks me up for some reason), well then, there must be truth behind her words.

[greytdemocrat]

29. Not really

He could just be sick and tired of her and
means to make an example. If this was me I'd
do the same. If stories like this are indeed untrue
then at some point you slap the person down.

[adigal]

33. I honestly think Hannity is deep in the closet, along with Mike Pence

The more people focus on others' sexuality, the more it seems they are not comfortable with their own. People comfortable with their own sexuality don't really pay much attention to that.

[boston bean]

10. Oh my. And Debbie Schlussell, oh my!!

[MichMary]

11. Did she recant?

I read that today, but am not sure about the source, so just wanted some verification.

[Miles Archer]

12. Somewhat.

Hannity tweeted this:

Link to tweet

[MichMary]

13. That was the source I saw

Is it reliable?

[Miles Archer]

17. No idea, but HuffPo picked it up and ran with it:

Sean Hannity Accuser Walks Back ‘Sexual Harassment’ Claim

UPDATE: April 24 ―

In an interview with LawNewz.com on Monday, Debbie Schlussel said she doesn’t think that what happened with Sean Hannity amounts to sexual harassment. Still, she stands by her description of events, saying, “He tried to get me to go back to the hotel after the show after he and his executive producer Bill Shine treated me horribly.”

She clarified that Hannity allegedly asked her to come to his hotel, not his hotel room.

[wishstar]

14. She didn't change her story, just disputes label of 'sexual harassment' for his weird behavior

She still says he was weird and she didn't like him, says he ignored her after she declined to go to his hotel. But supposedly he didn't say anything explicit or ask her to go to his room, but he did ask her to go back to his hotel. She said his behavior would not meet legal definition of sexual harassment.

[MichMary]

15. The source I read

said she was invited back on his show, but only once.

Seems to me this changes things.

And--I'd find him weird and creepy, no matter what he did.

[gratuitous]

16. Apparently for Schlussel

If I'm reading Schlussel right, the only thing more reprehensible than Hannity's behavior is calling it sexual harassment.

[RhodeIslandOne]

18. Debbie Schlussell is an Islamaphobe con-artist

She basically can't get on TV anymore because she's nuts and annoying.

I don't know who to root for here.

[Laxman]

19. She Seems Like A Perfectly Lovely Woman.....

They deserve each other. I don't care what your politics are, you've got to be a loathsome person to post something like that.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

21. Schlussel has zero credibility, based on her track record. That said, ....

I'm not shedding any tears for Sean and I treat these accusations the same way he did the claims of that Weekly World News reporter whose "Clinton fixer/hitman" story from the Enquirer was hyped all week on Hannity's show last year - with complete seriousness and hanging on her every word.

[RT Atlanta]

22. Truth is an absolute defense, you 'public figure'

Two points:

i) truth is always an absolute defense;

ii) he's a public figure and there is a much higher threshold to prove false & defamatory comments if you're in the public.

[Bengus81]

24. Any time people boast about having a slew of lawyers...they really have NONE

If she's been trashing talking Hannity for a DECADE as he claims then why wait until now??

[LenaBaby61]

27. BOTH of these crazy people...

Deserve each other.

[samnsara]

28. and Tuckers next!

[lpbk2713]

30. O the irony. Hannity has built his entire career on lying.

That's all he lives for.

[Shandris]

31. Wow, look at that wordage choice!

Guilty as sin.

For reference to what I mean, check out TED"s talk about detecting liars. It shows how the obnoxious verbiage and pacing of the comments belie the intent of their construction -- to obfuscate.

[Initech]

32. Good luck with that!
