Abby Grossberg, the Fox News producer who was fired last week after filing suit against the network, added new details to her allegations that she was coerced by Fox News’ legal team into giving misleading deposition testimony as the network defended itself in Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit.
In an amended complaint, Grossberg’s attorneys also raised the prospect that she could testify in the upcoming trial on behalf of Dominion while rejecting the possibility that she would appear on behalf of Fox News.
The network dismissed Grossberg on Friday, alleging that she had failed to protect privileged company information in a lawsuit she filed against the network earlier in the week. The network also contended that her lawsuit was “riddled with false allegations.”
In Grossberg’s revised complaint (read it here), filed in New York federal court and Delaware Superior Court on Monday, Grossberg’s attorneys alleged that the network, in firing her, “hammered the final nail into the coffin of Ms. Grossberg’s once-promising career in television journalism by publicly terminating her employment for allegedly being insubordinate for publicly disclosing the woefully inadequate and likely malicious ‘legal advice’ given to her by Fox News Attorneys prior to and during her deposition in the Dominion/Fox Lawsuit.”
The latest filing also included an errata sheet, or areas of her Dominion deposition that she is seeking to revise.
Her attorneys, Parisis Filippatos and Tanvir Rahman, also wrote that Grossberg may waive “her jointly held attorney-client privilege” and “submit whatever evidence she wishes of the Fox News attorneys’ wrongdoing.” Her attorneys also indicted that they would “pierce the shattered shield”
