What is Andrea Tantaros’s Net Worth?

Andrea Tantaros is an American political commentator and analyst who has a net worth of $3.5 million. Before bringing a sexual harassment lawsuit against several Fox News staffers in 2016, Andrea Tantaros worked as a host for the network.

Childhood

Tantaros was born on December 30, 1978, in Allentown, Pennsylvania. She was born to an Italian mother and a Greek immigrant father. Along with working at the Pied Piper Diner, which her family owned, she was a student at Parkland High School.

She went to Lehigh University after graduating from high school to study journalism and French. She served as an intern at CNN’s “Crossfire” show after earning her degree.

She was covering the Republican National Convention at this time. Prior to moving back to Washington, D.C. in 2003, she completed a master’s degree at the Sorbonne in Paris, France.

Career

When she first started her career, Tantaros worked as a spokesman for Thomas Reynolds, the former head of the National Republican Congressional Committee, former congressman Pat Toomey, and former Massachusetts governor William Weld.

She moved to New York City from Washington, D.C., in 2005, when she established Andrea Tantaros Media, a firm that provided consulting services for a media strategy to Fortune 500 companies as well as services for political campaigns.

Tantaros started working as a political journalist for Fox News in 2010. She was appointed co-host of “The Five,” a brand-new show for the network, the following year, in 2011. After only a few months of airing, the show was regularly outperforming rival programming on MSNBC and CNN.

It was the second-most watched cable news program in 2013. Tantaros was transferred from “The Five” in 2014 so that he could start co-hosting the program “Outnumbered.”

She made some controversial remarks regarding the CIA’s use of torture while appearing on the show following the publication of the Senate Intelligence Committee reports, which detailed some of the tactics used by the American military and intelligence agencies at Guantanamo Bay.

She asserted that in order to “make the US appear bad” and because they “didn’t like this country,” the Obama administration attempted to draw attention to the specifics of the nation’s torture program.

Suit and allegations of sexual harassment against Fox

Tantaros claims that the network’s decision to transfer her from “The Five” to “Outnumbered” was made in revenge for a complaint she had made about the way some of her male coworkers had treated her.

Tantaros claimed in an August 2016 lawsuit that she had informed Fox News officials in 2015 that longtime Fox executive Roger Ailes was harassing her sexually.

She also alleged that Scott Brown and Dean Cain touched her without her permission, in addition to Bill O’Reilly and Dean Cain making inappropriate comments to her. Each of the three guys has refuted her accusations.

She claimed that she had been fired as retaliation, while Fox stated that she had been transferred because of a contract disagreement. Around this time, Tantaros published a book called “Tied Up in Knots: How Getting What We Wanted to be Made Women Miserable,” but she did not obtain network approval as needed by her contract.

Given the existence of an arbitration clause in the contract, a judge determined in 2017 that these claims should be submitted to arbitration. Michael Malice also filed a lawsuit against Tantaros for the book, claiming that he was the ghostwriter and had not received the full amount due for his work. Malice was unsuccessful in this endeavor.

She revised a portion of her complaint in 2018 to add more information in an effort to support her allegations of sexual harassment. She alleged that the network supported a harassment-friendly environment that allowed for staff snooping.

The female employees were occasionally compelled to disrobe in an open room in order to try on new wardrobe samples for their on-air time, according to the speaker, who also said that her computer had once been attacked with spyware. A judge also rejected this lawsuit.

Tantaros, on the other hand, has persisted in her battle against Fox News despite her difficulties in securing legal counsel. In addition to Tantaros’ lawsuits, Fox News was embroiled in many scandals in 2016 over claimed workplace racial and gender discrimination.

With 18 former workers, they secured a $10 million settlement in 2018. Other female employees, like Gretchen Carlson, filed sexual harassment lawsuits against them as well. Despite Tantaros’ failure, Roger Ailes and host Bill O’Reilly did depart the network.
