Fox 2 counters Asher discrimination suit with 'unprofessional behavior' defense
Fox 2 Detroit and its parent company have filed a federal court response to former anchor Taryn Asher’s gender discrimination lawsuit, asserting that her termination was justified by 'unprofessional workplace behavior' and 'outbursts' rather than bias. Asher’s legal team rejects this characterization, arguing the station is reframing protected complaints about unequal treatment as misconduct. The dispute centers on conflicting timelines for her dismissal, a contested non-compete clause, and a dispute over a company laptop containing privileged legal materials.
