News anchor calls station boss a 'b*tch' with cameras rolling

A disgruntled TV news anchor has been caught on camera calling her boss a “bitch" in the newsroom.

The New York Post reports that Taryn Asher was recording a segment for Fox 2 Detroit, when she was pulled off the air in November.

The video has re-emerged as Asher is currently suing the station for sex discrimination and retaliation, as she's since been fired.

The clip, first published Deadline Detroit, shows Asher seemingly answering someone off-camera via an earpiece.

“I am. I’m in Amy’s script, the Amy’s Angels one,” Asher says.

“There was—the second thing didn’t make sense, so I was just trying to fix that part and…”

“I know, but I didn’t have time because we have to do this, so I was still reading it,” she defensively continues.

“See, I mean, I can’t wait for you to go through them all and then I go through them, because then I’m already getting ready by then…But this time we had to do the PSAs, so…”

Then the workplace exchange then escalates.

“I don’t think you are. You’re walking out really angry,” Asher tells her boss.

As she ends communication, she mutters “Bitch.”

“Can I please finish what I’m going to say?'" she says to herself.

“What the f–k. Grow up.”

Asher then vents about her boss to the newsroom: “I’m so done with her antics, telling on me every five seconds. I’m done.”

Fox told the NYP that Asher was pulled from the air because of her general inappropriate conduct toward colleagues.

In its August 14 response, Fox claimed multiple employees reported Asher's conduct in the week before she was placed on paid leave on November 5.

The station further claims that Asher shouted at employees over guest-interview assignments, repeatedly used profanity targeted at staff, and had “confrontational and disrespectful interactions” in the workplace.
