Former Fox News producer Jennifer Eckhart dies by suicide at 36, six years after she accused network’s former anchor Ed Henry of raping her

A former Fox News producer has died by suicide at her Florida home, six years after suing one of the network’s former anchors and accusing him of rape.

Jennifer Eckhart, 36, was found at her home in Hobe Sound on Saturday. Law enforcement sources told TMZ she took her own life.

Eckhart previously accused former Fox anchor Ed Henry of raping her in a 2020 lawsuit. 

Henry was fired by the network but denied the allegations and said his relationship with Eckhart was consensual. 

Eckhart settled her lawsuit against Henry in 2024, shortly before it was due to go to trial.
