Ed Henry omits mention of Jennifer Eckhart’s death on Newsmax return
Former Fox News anchor Ed Henry did not mention Jennifer Eckhart’s death during his first Newsmax programme after reports that she had died by suicide. Eckhart, a former Fox News producer, had accused Henry of rape in a 2020 civil lawsuit, allegations he denied by saying their interactions were consensual.
Eckhart, 36, was found dead at her home in Hobe Sound, Florida, on Saturday, according to the article, with her death reportedly ruled a suicide. The lawsuit was settled in June 2025, while a later attempt to pursue claims against Fox News was rejected by a federal appeals court. Eckhart subsequently presented the REINVENTED podcast, whose final recorded episode was uploaded in March.
