Sean Hannity has vowed to sue a former guest of his program with "some of the finest and toughest lawyers in the country" after she accused the Fox News host of sexually propositioning her as allegations of sexual harassment continue to roil the network.



Conservative commentator Debbie Schlussel said in a Friday radio interview that Hannity once invited her back to his hotel room after an event at a Detroit bookstore.



"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 told host Pat Campbell.

"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 described another alleged incident of Hannity propositioning her after one of his programs, which she says she turned down.



“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.”

Hannity issued his own statement strongly denying the claims, calling them "a complete fabrication" by "a serial harasser."
