https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-nation-star-tyrus-accused-of-sexual-harassment-by-co-host-britt-mchenryFormer pro-wrestler Tyrus was booted off his Fox Nation show after his co-host Britt McHenry filed a sexual harassment complaint against him with Fox News management.
Last week, The Daily Beast reported that Tyrus was kicked off of Un-PC after an unspecified personal dispute with McHenry. Since then, multiple sources have confirmed to The Daily Beast that the dispute centered around McHenrys contention that Tyrus had, on multiple occasions, sent her unwanted and unsolicited text messages with lewd, sexual comments.
Fox News brass was aware of the harassment complaint against one of its streaming services most high-profile hosts, these sources confirmed, but ultimately decided to move Tyrus, born George Murdoch, off Un-PC and onto his own new show called NUFFSAID.
McHenrys complaint to management about the eccentric Fox personality wasnt all that surprising to some of his colleagues. Two sources who have worked at Fox News told The Daily Beast that Tyrus has long had a reputation for regularly making off-color or politically incorrect remarks or jokes. Hes got a wild sense of humor, if were being generous, one current female Fox employee said.

... the talking head that berated a tow company clerk a few years back. She made fun of the womans job, intelligence and weight, and said something like Im on TV and youre stuck in a fucking garage, lose some weight honey.
That doesnt justify being sexually harassed by that Neanderthal, and believe me Im no fan of tow companies. But she oozes entitlement and arrogance. Im outraged at him. But Im not particularly sympathetic to her. Maybe thats cold, but I suspect she would have had little empathy for any victim of harassment until it was her.
