Abby Grossberg, a former producer for Tucker Carlson's Fox News show, settled a pair of lawsuits against the network and Carlson for $12 million, her attorney said Friday.

Grossberg sued the network, Carlson, its parent company and a number of executives this year alleging that she was harassed, retaliated against and set up to take the fall for Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation suit against Fox News. She said she was later fired for going public with her claims. At the time, Fox News denied her allegations.

In her lawsuits, the former producer, who also worked for Maria Bartiromo’s show, described Fox News as a toxic, misogynistic environment.

Dominion accused both Fox News programs of defamation, and Grossberg was intimately involved in the production of some of the challenged broadcasts, according to documents released in the case. Fox News settled Dominion’s suit for $787.5 million in April, moments before opening arguments were set to be heard in court.
