The lawsuit was filed on Wednesday in the US District Court in New Jersey, which has named NPR journalist David Folkenflik and CNN hosts Brian Stelter and Alisyn Camerota. The lawsuit comes a year after Henry was accused of “violently” raping former Fox Business producer Jennifer Eckhart and sending inappropriate messages to another woman.

According to the lawsuit, Jennifer Eckhart “had a consensual relationship” with Henry until early 2017 and accused him of rape during the summer of 2020.

The suit claimed that Eckhart “has not mustered any corroborating evidence to support the allegation,” “deliberately concealed and misrepresented evidence,” and that “all of the evidence shows that her allegations are false.”

NPR writer Folkenflik allegedly published an article making false accusations against Henry, claiming that Fox executives were warned in 2017 about bringing Henry on as a host, promoting the article on social media. The lawsuit alleged that Folkenflik has a “longstanding grudge against Fox News,” citing his book about the network as an example.

CNN host Stelter made an appearance on Camerota’s CNN show on July 21 discussing the allegations against Henry, the lawsuit claimed that he “recklessly republished Mr. Folkenflik’s allegation without confirming its authenticity.” The lawsuit alleges that Stelter adopted the lawsuit as truth, with Camerota asking a series of rhetorical questions that were “were intended as statements of fact.”

Henry has filed two other lawsuits, including one against several people on social media who spread the sexual assault allegations against him and one against Fox News and the network’s CEO Suzanne Scott.

In the suit, Henry accuses Scott and the network of turning against him and abruptly firing him while “publicly humiliating him in the process.” The suit also noted that when the network released its statement announcing Henry’s termination, Scott insinuated that Henry was guilty of sexual misconduct.

“Regrettably, Ms. Scott sandbagged Plaintiff with her statement, lending credence to the false allegations because she was trying to save her own career and burnish her image as a tough, no nonsense female executive who cleaned up Fox News,” the suit says.

“In reality, however, Ms. Scott had long been an instrument to cover up the existence of sexual misconduct at Fox News,” it continues, accusing Scott of attempting to cover up an alleged affair between a subordinate and the network’s president, Jay Wallace.

“Thus, Ms. Scott used Plaintiff as a scapegoat to divert attention away from her own sordid history at Fox News.”

The suit further claims that Scott “had no reason” to believe Eckhart’s accusations against Henry as he had voluntarily provided text messages, photographs, and emails that disputed her claims.

“My client, Ed Henry, is a journalist’s journalist who won the top award for excellence in White House coverage twice, so he reluctantly brings this action. But there is no excuse for sloppy, reckless journalism that smears him or anyone else,” Henry’s lawyer, Ty Clevenger, said in a statement. “CNN and NPR will be held accountable for what they’ve done to Ed, and given their animosity toward Fox News, I suspect they will be serving a lot of interesting subpoenas on Fox.”

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
