Mulitple media outlets reported that the conservative commentator, Debbie Schlussel, claimed she was sexually harassed by Hannity. But in an interview with Newsweek on Monday morning, Schlussel says: “I never used the word ‘sexual harassment’ in the radio interview.”

“The host asked me a compound question where he said, ‘Were you ever sexually harassed or made to feel uncomfortable by Bill O’Reilly or any other Fox News host,'" she says. "My response was in response to the ‘made to feel uncomfortable’ part.”

Schlussel said during the radio interview with Pat Campbell that Hannity asked her to come back to his hotel with him after a book signing in Detroit in the early 2000s. Schlussel said she refused, as she wanted to prepare for her appearance on Hannity's Fox News show later in the day. After that show, Schlussel said Friday, he made another advance, attempting “to get me to go back with him to the hotel.” She again said no, and claims she hasn't since been booked on Hannity’s show.

“I felt very uncomfortable and creeped out by Sean Hannity on several occasions, but it’s not accurate to say that I was sexually harassed,” says Schlussel. “I don’t view it that way. I’m a practicing attorney, and I’ve done employment law and I think sexual harassment has a very specific definition.”

Schlussel also mentioned two incidents she says occured between 2002 and 2004. In one, Schlussel was in New York City to appear on Hannity's show as a guest. She had dyed her blonde hair red and claims Hannity “got all mad at me that I was not blonde.” In the other, Schlussel claims Hannity "was arguing with me about what size pants I was wearing at the time, whether they were a two or a four."

"These kind of things are odd and strange, not appropriate," she says. "He’s just a creepy sleazy guy.”
