Taryn Asher

[SteveS]

Did anyone catch the ridiculous “live home invasion” thing hosted by Karen Drew? What a waste of time and resources. Is she dating the new general manager now too?

What day did that air?

I think it was on Thursday. I watched it live and was surprised a critical thread didn't start up here. Weird sweeps stunt.

They are more desperate than they let on I think. Thanks I’ll take a look, I couldn’t find it easily on their site.

It was really really bad.

I showed it to my girlfriend… she could see what they were going for but we noticed anyone who wanted to rob them, harm them or their kids has all the info needed. License plates, names… no regard for their personal information at all. Not to mention on air they cut out a third of it for commercials and told people to watch most of it online via QR code.

Any guesses as to when and where Taryn will show up next?

[Robert Faygo]

Maybe back on Fox 2? I mean she's still on the web site as the first person listed?

Taryn Asher
Anchor/Reporter
Taryn Asher is the evening anchor of FOX 2 News at 5, 6, 10, and the Edge.

Something still doesn't add up.

She was never removed

[tivoking]

She will go to CBS and end her Detroit career in obscurity. I never hear anyone mention their news show. I mean, Sandra Ali could show up naked on TV and it might not make social media. My father liked the main weather guy, but he even forgot about it.

I'll probably get ragged on for this, but I actually like watching the local CBS news. Not saying it's better, but I just got sick of the other three.

I liked UPN 50's news over the other three.

Ew. No one wants to see that old leathery head of botox naked. Gross.

[deadend]

Sandra Ali is atrocious. She was an attractive woman. Why did she do that to herself? She looks awful. Her and amy andrews. Yikes.

[Newsman123]

Yes, she looks like a leather shoe with fake lips. She used to look healthy, normal and down to earth. Now a Real Housewives of Birmingham wannabe.

Fired Fox 2 Anchor Taryn Asher Files Sex Discrimination Lawsuit Against Station; Criticizes Management and Roop Raj

https://deadlinedetroit.com/articles/34 ... d_roop_raj

The suit alleges Fox 2:

- Refused to provide Asher with the same schedule accommodations that it provided to her counterpart Roop Raj.
- Assigned Asher fewer guest interviews than Raj.
- Excluded Asher from communications related to guest-segment interviews and the November 2025 election coverage.
- Failed and refused to ensure that she received equal treatment.
- Summarily dismissed and refused to meaningfully investigate Asher's complaints of disparate treatment and discrimination based on sex.
- Permitted Asher's co-anchor Raj to circumvent and undermine Asher's employment responsibilities.
- Terminated Asher's employment based on clearly erroneous allegations of conduct that, even if true, are substantially less severe than conduct of male workers, including in management.

I downloaded the court filing. Maybe she will finally be removed from the website soon ("June 2026") although Rob Wolcheck is still listed as well a couple of months after his retirement. They also mentioned Roop's DUI and the new GM's DWI in the filing.

"FOX has since informed ASHER that her employment with FOX will end in June 2026 and that FOX will not renew ASHER’s employment agreement with FOX."

English translation... FOX 2 is exactly the dumpster fire we thought it was.
