Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s longtime producer has been accused of sexually assaulting a gay man in 2008 while they were both working for Fox News. On Monday, former Fox News employee Andrew Delancey filed a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Justin Wells, Fox Corporation, and Fox News, alleging that Wells used his position at the conservative media company to sexually harass and later assault him. Wells helped launch Carlson’s Fox News show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, in 2016 and remained the show’s executive producer until both he and Carlson were fired in April. Wells continues to work with Carlson on the host’s show on X, and Delancey’s lawsuit describes him as Carlson’s right-hand man. The lawsuit also notes that Fox News has become notorious for its sexual harassment culture. Wells’s attorney, Harmeet Dhillon, and Carlson are attempting to cast doubt on Delancey’s allegations. Carlson has issued a statement saying, “As a general matter, if you believe you’ve been the victim of a sex crime, you have a moral obligation to alert police, so it doesn’t happen to someone else. If you wait 15 years to cash in with a civil suit, no one should take you seriously. I certainly don’t.” #Queer Up Courts
