NEW YORK — A judge has tossed out a lawsuit against Fox News by former host Andrea Tantaros, citing her “vague, speculative and conclusory allegations.”

The lawsuit U.S. District Judge George Daniels dismissed Friday had alleged Fox tried to torment Tantaros after she complained about harassment.

In August 2016, Tantaros sued the network, its ousted chairman and other top executives in a separate lawsuit, saying they retaliated after she detailed unwanted sexual advances made by her onetime boss Roger Ailes. A state judge ruled those claims were subject to closed-door arbitration.
