Detroit anchor Taryn Asher has found herself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. For those who don’t know, a video of Taryn in a heated confrontation with a colleague has surfaced. It was captured while she was filming a public service announcement at WJBK-TV Fox 2 Detroit.
She was reportedly taken off the air in November 2025 and later fired after the incident. Now, as her clip brings renewed focus on her firing, here’s a look at what actually happened behind the scenes, according to Taryn.
What was the real reason Taryn Asher was fired from Fox 2?
When Taryn Asher was fired from Fox 2, they told her that it was because of her “behavior in the newsroom.” However, her lawyer, Matthew Turner, called the explanation “ridiculous” and insisted that the real reason behind Taryn’s firing was gender discrimination. He said that Taryn was pushed out after she raised concerns about unequal treatment compared to her male colleagues.
