Newly obtained text messages by Rolling Stone reveal that Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host, frequently communicated with Abby Grossberg, a senior producer on his show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, despite denying any knowledge of her. Grossberg filed a legal complaint against Carlson, Fox News, and other employees, alleging a hostile and misogynistic work environment.
The text messages demonstrate a working relationship between Grossberg and Carlson, with Carlson giving directives on guests to book and setting the tone for the day’s programming. In one example, Carlson and Grossberg communicated about an attempt to bring then-aspiring House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (D-Calif.) onto the show. Grossberg informed Carlson that they had a “really good talk” with McCarthy’s team, to which Carlson responded, “I heard. Hope it works.”
