Ed Henry was fired from Fox News after sexual misconduct allegations, and Karyn Turk was sentenced for social security fraud.
Ed Henry, a former co-anchor of “America’s Newsroom” on Fox News, faced a significant career setback when the network terminated his employment in July 2020. The firing came after the network received a complaint from a former employee’s attorney about Henry’s willful sexual misconduct in the workplace years prior. Following an internal investigation, Fox News decided to sever ties with Henry, emphasizing their strict intolerance for any form of sexual misconduct.
Karyn Turk, a former Mrs. Florida 2016, encountered legal troubles when she was sentenced in January 2020 for stealing her mother’s Social Security checks. Turk pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of social security fraud. According to court documents, she failed to give her mother’s nursing home the Social Security benefits that were owed, instead using the money for her personal expenses. Turk was ordered to spend a month in jail, complete 100 hours of community service, and pay restitution. Her case highlighted the issue of financial elder abuse, a problem that is increasingly gaining attention from law enforcement and advocacy groups.
