A former Fox Business associate producer who accused ex-Fox News anchor Ed Henry of sexual assault was arrested on suspicion of battery in Florida.
Jennifer Eckhart, 34, pouted in her mugshot after she was detained in Palm Beach County at 1pm on Wednesday afternoon. She was released on her own recognizance without bail.
According to her arrest affidavit obtained by Daily Mail, Eckhart allegedly attacked her boyfriend, named in the papers as Thomas Beasley, after he told her he was ending their relationship.
Beasley told cops that after he dumped her Eckhart, ‘began knocking items over in his office, struck him, screamed, and became combative.’
He showed video of the alleged attack to officers, which the documents said showed her, ‘yelling, striking Beasley, grabbing his shirt and ripping it, and demanding he delete the video.’
The arrest comes a month after Eckhart settled a rape lawsuit against Henry, five years after she accused him of sexually assaulting her when they worked at Fox News.
Henry, who denied Eckhart’s allegations and said they were in a ‘kinky’ relationship, was fired weeks before she filed her lawsuit in 2020.
