How exactly do you define a "slight" proposition?

Keeping her on the set until he could ask her to go to his hotel room alone?

Quote:B. Tucker Carlson 129. In 2017 and 2018, Ms. Areu appeared on a very frequent basis on Tucker Carlson Tonight (17 times, at least, in 2018 alone). 


130. Ms. Areu’s final 2018 appearance on the show was in December 2018. That particular show was filmed live in New York City and Mr. Carlson was in New York City at the studio.


 131. After Ms. Areu’s segment was completed, one of Mr. Carlson’s producers or writers whispered in Ms. Areu’s ear, while she was on set trying to get out of the chair, and told her that Mr. Carlson wanted her to stay until the very end of the show to chat with him. Ms. Areu had no choice but to comply with Mr. Carlson’s request due to the fact that she was on live television while tied to her chair with a microphone on her that was attached to the chair. Ms. Areu was also wearing an earpiece that the tech crew refused to take off. 


132. Mr. Carlson’s tech crew refused to undo Ms. Areu’s equipment on set therefore she could not leave the chair or studio. Case 1:20-cv-05593 Document 1 Filed 07/20/20 Page 27 of 39 28 


133. Following the show, Mr. Carlson changed on set into his leather jacket for the annual Christmas party that he told Ms. Areu he would only be attending for approximately 10 minutes to, “make a quick appearance.” 


134. Following the show, Mr. Carlson, hardly making any effort to hide his intentions, began telling Ms. Areu that he would be alone in New York City that night, and specifically said that he would be staying alone in his hotel room without any wife or kids. 


135. Without question, Mr. Carlson was probing to see whether Ms. Areu was interested in a sexual relationship. 


136. Ms. Areu awkwardly sidestepped Mr. Carlson’s advances and declined to spend the night at his hotel. 


137. Mr. Carlson promptly retaliated against Ms. Areu, who was featured on his show only three times in 2019 and has not appeared once in 2020. 


138. According to Mr. Carlson’s producer, it is Mr. Carlson himself who consistently rejects proposals to have Ms. Areu on his show, notwithstanding the fact that her segments were, or were among, his most popular. 

Not the first time the culture at FOX has been brought into a lawsuit.
