The former Fox News anchor's lawsuit also accuses Scott of defaming him “as a sex criminal" after his firing last year over a sexual misconduct allegation from "years ago." According to Mediaite, Henry’s lawsuit alleges that Scott “sandbagged” him with her statement and “lending credence to the false allegations because she was trying to save her own career and burnish her image as a tough, no nonsense female executive who cleaned up Fox News.” Fox News denied Henry's allegations in three statements released Wednesday evening.
