Judith Slater, a former Fox News executive at the center of several lawsuits alleging rampant sexual and ethnic harassment at the top-rated cable news network, said allegedly racist comments attributed to her were taken out of context as part of “a reprehensible money grab.”

“Plaintiffs Tichaona Brown and Monica Douglas regularly introduced racial and ethnic topics in conversations … and joked about themselves and their cultural heritage,” Slater said in a motion filed Monday in New York State Supreme Court for Bronx County by attorney Catherine M. Foti of Morvillo Abramowitz Grand Iason & Anello.
