Taryn Asher video surfaces amid Fox Detroit lawsuit

Leaked video footage has surfaced showing former WJBK-TV Fox 2 Detroit anchor Taryn Asher in a heated confrontation with a colleague. The incident, which occurred during the filming of a promotional video in 2023, shows Asher arguing over newsroom workflow and script access. During the exchange, Asher is heard using profanity and calling the colleague a “bitch” after being interrupted by the station’s Executive Producer for News, Traci Kryscynski.

The footage has gained renewed attention as it relates to a legal battle between Asher and the network. Asher, who was removed from the air in November 2025, has filed a lawsuit against Fox alleging sex discrimination and retaliation. While the station claims Asher was terminated due to “unprofessional workplace behavior” and “outbursts,” the leaked video provides context for the internal tensions that preceded her departure.
