Andrea Tantaros is dismissed by the Judge

With her lawsuit failing to provide enough proof to assure her claims, the judge dismissed her lawsuit in May.

The respective judge, Judge George B. Daniels wrote:

“Plaintiff’s amended complaint is based primarily on speculation and conjecture. Moreover, she fails to adequately make out the basic elements of her claims.”

Andrea was unable to show that her computer was actually hacked only that Fox News has the power to monitor her computer. Also, she failed to prove that Roger had monitored her while she was changing.

Daniels wrote:

“Plaintiff’s sole allegation with respect to physical surveillance is that she observed black SUVs driving by and parked outside her New York City residence and her vacation home, and that on one occasion she recognized one of the drivers as a member of Ailes’ personal security detail. Plaintiff does not allege that either the individual she recognized from Ailes’ security detail, or any other driver of a black SUV, intercepted a wire, electronic or oral communication of hers, as is required under the Wiretap Act.”
