The FOX News lawsuit continues to expand, and now it's implicating politicians. The first one to get caught up in this mess is former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown.

Former FOX host Andrea Tantaros, who recently filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against former FOX News CEO Roger Ailes, is now claiming that Scott Brown made inappropriate advances toward her on set.

In her complaint, she describes a "Playboy Mansion-like cult" at FOX, according to the Boston Globe, which pervaded the company. When Brown allegedly harassed her, she claimed that she told the higher-ups at FOX, and nobody did anything.

The lawsuit further claims that "...after the show was over, Brown snuck up behind Tantaros while she was purchasing lunch and put his hands on her lower waist...She immediately pulled back, telling Brown to 'stop.'"

Brown, of course, says Tantaros' accusations are not true.

He said this to the Boston Globe: "Her statement about our limited on air, green room interactions are false...There were never any circumstances of any kind whatsoever in which I had any interaction with her or any other employee at Fox, outside the studio."

On Twitter, Brown said:

It's interesting to see these promoters of so-called "family values" allegedly getting more and more involved in this.
