Matthew Turner and Tad Roumayah Represent Former Fox 2 News Anchor Taryn Asher in Gender Discrimination Matter
Attorneys Matt Turner and Tad Roumayah represent former Detroit television news anchor Taryn Asher in a gender discrimination matter following her termination from WJBK-TV (Fox 2 Detroit).
Asher has filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), alleging she was treated less favorably than similarly situated male colleagues and that her employment was terminated after she raised concerns internally.
Asher joined Fox 2 Detroit in 2007 and was named lead anchor in 2022. She had anchored several of the station’s evening broadcasts before being removed from the air in late 2025.
The case has begun to attract attention in local and national media outlets.
