Eckhart previously worked as an associate producer at Fox Business.

In 2020, she accused journalist Ed Henry of sexual assault. Henry was fired by Fox News that year following an investigation into a complaint involving alleged sexual misconduct.

Eckhart was arrested in Palm Beach County, Fla., in July of last year on suspicion of battery after allegedly attacking her boyfriend when he tried to end their relationship, according to an arrest affidavit cited by the Daily Mail.

The affidavit said video of the alleged altercation showed Eckhart yelling at Thomas Beasley, striking him, grabbing and ripping his shirt and demanding that he delete the recording.
