Deborah B. Surette is an American woman primarily known for filing a lawsuit against Fox News host Sean Hannity in 2017, alleging sexual harassment. According to her claims, the incident occurred in the early 1990s when Surette was working as a sales representative for a company selling dishwashers (described in some sources as a former dishwasher saleswoman). She alleged that during a sales interaction at Hannity's home, he made unwanted sexual advances toward her, including suggestive comments and physical contact. The lawsuit, filed in Alabama where Surette resided, sought damages for emotional distress and other harms. Hannity denied the allegations, calling them false and politically motivated, and the case did not result in a trial; it was reportedly dropped or settled out of court with limited public details available. Media reports described her as a 52-year-old resident of Alabama at the time of the lawsuit (suggesting a birth year around 1965), though this is unverified. The allegation emerged amid broader scrutiny of sexual misconduct in media during the #MeToo movement, but Surette has maintained a low public profile with little documented about her personal or professional background beyond this case.
