Fox News host Sean Hannity has been forced to deny he sexually harassed a former guest on his popular cable news program.

Debbie Schlussel said on Friday that the married anchor invited her back to his hotel in Detroit after the pair met up at a book signing, and that after she turned down the father-of-two's advances she was not invited back on his show.

Schlussel also said Hannity, whose show draws an average of more than two million viewers a night, got angry when she turned 'redhead' and claims the veteran broadcaster asked her 'creepy' questions about her pants size.

In an interview with Tulsa, Oklahoma-based radio host Pat Campbell, she said: 'This kind of stuff is all over the place at Fox News and anything that has to do with Sean Hannity.'

Then on Monday, Schlussel gave an interview expressing her disbelief over the coverage of the story, saying that she never accused Hannity of sexual harassment.

'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 in an interview with LawNewz.

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

That about face came just hours after Hannity denied Schlussel's allegations and accused her of seeking attention in a statement to DailyMail.com before threatening legal action.

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

'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.'

He went on to say: '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 & 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.'

Schlussel followed up her interview with tweets urging Fox News to fire Hannity and 'Ailes pimps'

The conservative commentator also said Hannity got angry when she changed her hair

Schlussel previously attacked Hannity in a scathing 2010 blog post in which she claimed that the host's charity of choice, Freedonm Alliance, was running a scam in collecting donations to help fund the college tuition of children of fallen soldiers.

She said that almost none of the money collected at concerts held across the country went to the charity and that Hannity's demands to appear at each event cost over $200,000 with the Fox News personality being flown in to each city on a Gulfstream 5.

He then required a fleet of SUVs take him to a block of suites in 'really expensive hotels' according to Schussel, who saidshe learned this all from an unnamed 'conservative writer.'

Those claims were all revealed to be completely false however by Freedom Alliance in a statement soon after the post was published, with Schlussel having first published without approaching the charity for comment.

The charity said that not only did Hannity pay for his own flights, cars and hotel rooms at every event he attended, but he also was one of their biggest individual donors as he gave his money and his time.

'Sean Hannity has contributed $100,000 to the Wounded Warriors Foundation, over $200,000 to the Freedom Alliance, and over tens of thousands of dollars to other military charities and individuals,' said the charity in a statement.

'We only make this information public because of the outrageous slander against him.'

Schlussel refused to publish the charity's statement, but did update her post after its release to write: 'Just as I expected, the liars and frauds at Freedom Alliance want to keep the gravy train going for them and their cronies. So they’ve issued a “response,” which doesn’t refute a single fact in here and frankly provides no hard evidence of anything . . . because they don’t have any.'

Her comments came just two days after Bill O'Reilly (above) was fired from Fox News over similar allegations

Sclussel's comments came just two days after Bill O'Reilly was fired from Fox News over allegations of harassment, racism and abuse, bringing his twenty years at the network to an end.

Hannity slammed Schlussel's allegations, and insists she is just seeking attention. He has also threatened legal action.

She did not say when the alleged harassment took place.

Schlussel said: '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 on Campbell's show.

Hannity strenuously refuted the allegations, and insisted Schlussel was just seeking attention

'So I met him there and it was very awkward. He had me 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.

'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.'

Hannity allegedly told Schlussel before the show that they would team up against another panelist.

But Schlussel told Campbell that the move was a 'head-fake'.

'Sean came up to me and said we're gonna double-team (which was a weird phrase to use) this Palestinian guy that I was up against on the show.

'And then every time I tried to open my mouth and say something, they yelled at me and said obey your host, you can't say anything or else we're gonna shut off your microphone.'

After the show, Schlussel claims Hannity made his second advance, asking her back to his hotel for the second time.

She told Campbell that her father and brother were in the green room at the time.

'After that, I wasn't booked on his show again. And he called me and yelled at me,' Schlussel said. 'I got a very weird feeling about the whole thing, and I kind of knew I wouldn't be back on his show.'

She added to her interview comments with tweets.

One said: 'Hannity also got mad at me when I briefly became a redhead and wasn't blonde and argued w me saying my pants size was 4, which was creepy.'

She then wrote: 'If Fox News were really serious about dumping harassers, Sean Hannity and Ailes Pimps Bill Shine and Margaret Scott would be gone.'

O'Reilly was seen out shopping near his home in Williston Park, New York, after he was let go from the scandal-hit news station

O'Reilly recently signed a new multi-year contract just weeks ago that guaranteed him over $20 million a year (host's Fox News sign near the entrance to their NYC office building above on Wednesday)

Hannity has been married to his wife, Jill Rhodes, since 1993. He has two children: Merri Kelly and Patrick.

Schlussel and Hannity have clashed in the past and have a history of confrontation.

In 2007, she accused him of 'ripping off' a column she wrote for the New York Post.

And in 2011, Schlussel was slammed for suggesting Lara Logan should have seen her sex attack coming - and for calling the Egyptians who were protesting for democracy 'animals'.

She posted a picture of Miss Logan on her blog, under the headline: 'Islam Fan Lara Logan Gets a Taste of Islam', before adding: 'How fitting that Lara Logan was “liberated” by Muslims in Liberation Square while she was gushing over the other part of the “liberation".'

The former host posted this picture on his website, advertising a new episode of his podcast for this Monday night

O'Reilly was fired from his high-profile role with Fox News last Wednesday after it emerged five secret sexual harassment accusers had been paid $13million.

Despite his uncomfortable exit, the 67-year-old will reportedly pocket $25million - a quarter of the $100million he had been guaranteed in the four-year contract he signed this past January.

He will return with his own podcast on Monday.

The network previously paid disgraced CEO Roger Ailes $40million when he exited last July.

Tucker Carlson will replace O'Reilly at his 8pm slot.

Last month, Hannity issued a stinging response to CBS's Ted Koppel's statement that he is 'bad for America.'

On his talk show, 'Hannity,' the Fox News commentator said: 'I was just used as a prop to advance his narrative, which is why only one minute and 10 seconds out of the 45 to 50 minutes was used.'

He added: 'That is the one minute that fit into their narrative. That is edited fake news.'

Hannity was responding to the fallout from his CBS 'Sunday Morning' interview with Koppel.

On Sunday New York Magazine reported that Fox News bosses forced black employees to hold arm wrestling matches in their offices for entertainment.

Seven black employees are expected to join a racial discrimination lawsuit against the outlet next week.

New York Magazine cites a letter sent to the network on behalf of the former staff which alleges that the arm wrestling matches were orchestrated within the accounting department and aimed at black female employees.

It singles out accounting director Tammy Efinger, claiming she forced one woman to participate because she wanted to 'fight' a black employee.

Fox News has not responded directly to the allegations, telling DailyMail.com on Sunday via a spokesman: 'We can't comment on a lawsuit that we haven't seen yet.'
