A fired US news anchor has been caught on video seemingly calling her co-worker a \u2018b****\u2019 during a heated newsroom confrontation.<\/p>\n
Taryn Asher, 51, who was taken off the air in November last year, was recording a public service announcement for Fox 2 Detroit when the tense exchange unfolded.<\/p>\n
The anchor can be seen responding to somebody off-camera while discussing scripts and how she is having to wait for them to be reviewed while she is preparing to go on camera.<\/p>\n
In the newly-released video from 2023, which was first revealed by FTVLive\u00a0and\u00a0Deadline Detroit, Asher then tells her colleague: \u2018See, I mean, I can\u2019t wait for you to go through them all and then I go through them, because then I\u2019m already getting ready by then.<\/p>\n
\u2018I don\u2019t think you are. You\u2019re walking out really angry.\u2019<\/p>\n
As the exchange starts to turn nasty, Asher appears to call the co-worker a \u2018b****\u2019 before saying: \u2018Can I please finish what I\u2019m going to say?<\/p>\n
\u2018What the f\u2013k. Grow up\u2026 I\u2019m so done with her antics, telling on me every five seconds. I\u2019m done.\u2019<\/p>\n
This comes as Asher, who worked at Fox 2 Detroit from 2007 until her departure, is now suing Fox Television Stations for sex discrimination and retaliation.<\/p>\n
Fox has denied the claims and say Asher\u2019s removal followed \u2018unprofessional workplace behavior\u2019 and \u2018outbursts\u2019.<\/p>\n
In its August 14 response to her lawsuit, Fox said several employees had complained about Asher\u2019s behaviour in the week before she was placed on paid leave on November 5.<\/p>\n
The station alleged that she had shouted at her fellow staff members over guest interview assignments, repeatedly used profanity and had \u2018confrontational and disrespectful interactions\u2019 with colleagues.<\/p>\n
Fox also claimed that Asher confronted an employee she believed had complained about her to management.<\/p>\n
The broadcaster cited one dispute on October 30 involving her male co-anchor, Roop Raj.<\/p>\n
According to Fox, Asher mistakenly believed Raj had been given an interview she had booked and alleged that she raised her voice and at times shouted at two colleagues over the mix-up.<\/p>\n
