Update: In statements made Monday, Fox News guest and blogger Debbie Schlussel said she does not classify the incident involving host Sean Hannity as sexual harassment.

Schlussel, an attorney, told LawNewz.com while the event occurred as she described, she would not classify it as sexual harassment in a legal sense.

"I would never accuse him of that. Sexual harassment has a special meaning under the law, and I would never accuse him of that," Schlussel said. She also clarified that Hannity didn't invite her to his hotel room but to the hotel where he was staying.

"I never thought I was sexually harassed by Sean Hannity, I thought he was weird and creepy not someone I liked," Schlussel said.

Schlussel told LawNewz.com she did go on Hannity's show following the incident but was later "banned from Fox News."

She also provided a time frame - early 2000s - for the event.

LawNewz is a website operated by Dan Abrams, chief legal affairs anchor for ABC News.

Hannity responded to the latest reports via Twitter:

Earlier: Sean Hannity is the latest Fox News host accused of sexually harassing a woman appearing on one of the network's programs.

In an interview this weekend, former Fox News guest Debbie Schlussel said Hannity once invited her back to his hotel room while they were at an event in Detroit.

"He had some event at a bookstore where he signed his book for people standing in line. He asked me to come meet him at this book signing," Schlussel said, according to a report in the New York Daily News. "So I met him there and it was very awkward. He had me stand up there with him while he signed books and I felt very weird. These people don't know me and they didn't come for me to sign their books. So then I left to get ready for the show and he said, 'Why don't you come back with me to my hotel?' and I said no, I have to get ready for the show."

Schlussel did not provide a date for the alleged encounter.

In another incident, Schlussel said she was berated while appearing on Hannity's show. Then, she said, the host once again propositioned her. She declined and was never invited to appear on the show again.

Hannity issued a statement denying the accusations:

"LET ME BE CLEAR THE COMMENTS ABOUT ME ON A RADIO SHOW THIS WEEK by this individual ARE 100% false and a complete fabrication.



This individual is a serial harasser who has been lying about me for well over a decade. The individual has a history of making provably false statements against me in an effort to slander, smear and besmirch my reputation.



The individual has not just slandered me over the years but many people who this individual disagrees with.



This individual desperately seeks attention by any means necessary, including making unfounded personal attacks and using indefensible and outrageous political rhetoric.



My patience with this individual is over. I have retained a team of some of the finest and toughest lawyers in the country who are now in the process of laying out the legal course of action we will be taking against this individual.



In this fiercely divided and vindictive political climate I will no longer allow slander and lies about me to go unchallenged, as I see a coordinated effort afoot to now silence those with conservative views. I will fight every single lie about me by all legal means available to me as an American."

The sexual harassment allegations come after two major figures at Fox - Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly - were forced to leave the network following similar accusations. Ailes resigned last year and subsequent investigations led to O'Reilly's exit last week.
