Early life and education

Areu obtained her Bachelor of Arts in English literature from Florida State University in 1992, and a master's degree in English education from Nova Southeastern University, also in Florida.[2][3] She became a tenured teacher in Florida and gained certification as a teacher in New Jersey.[4]

Career

Overview

From 2001 to 2012, Areu conducted interviews for The Washington Post's "First Person Singular" column, including with Laura Bush, Al Franken, Alberto Gonzales, Nancy Pelosi and Al Sharpton.[5][6] She contributed to Latina Style in 2001; she also contributed to People magazine and USA Weekend. In 2001 she founded Catalina, a magazine aimed at Hispanic women.[7][6] Her book, Latino Wisdom, a collection of stories about America's best-known Hispanic figures, was published by Barricade Books in 2006.[8]

Areu appeared on Fox News's Tucker Carlson Tonight in a recurring 2018 segment as the "Liberal Sherpa",[9] as well as on The O'Reilly Factor, and The Sean Hannity Show. She has also appeared on HLN's Prime News and Showbiz Tonight; on CNN's AC360 and Campbell Brown; and on MSNBC's The Daily Rundown.[10]

Lawsuit

In July 2020, Areu and another woman filed a lawsuit against Fox News and some of its prominent contributors. The suit states that Areu was sexually harassed at Fox News, including by Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, and Howard Kurtz.[11] The organization Times Up said in September 2020 that it was "providing PR support" to Areu.[12] On November 15, 2021, the case was dismissed. The court provided an opportunity to file an amended suit, but Areu never did. The case was dismissed in November 2021 with prejudice.[13][14]

Arrest

Areu was arrested in December 2022 and charged with kidnapping, exploitation of the elderly and scheming to defraud her elderly mother. Prosecutors in Miami-Dade County allege Areu stole at least $224,000 in the matter.[15]

Personal life

Areu has two daughters, born circa 2009 and 2011.[16]
