<p>Cathy Areu, a former Fox News guest dubbed the &#8220;liberal sherpa,&#8221; has been arrested for allegedly kidnapping her mother and stealing at least $224,000 from the 88-year-old.</p>
<p>Areu put her mother in a nursing home against her will on two occasions, allegedly dragging the elderly woman from her home on one occasion, authorities in Florida said.</p>
<p>“Every incident of alleged elder exploitation or abuse touches our heart and never fails to shock us,&#8221; said a statement from Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle. &#8220;It seems particularly harder to understand when the alleged perpetrator of the exploitation is a daughter, or a son or another blood relative.&#8221;</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">In one instance, Areu&#8217;s mother allegedly denied signing paperwork that turned over her home to her daughter. Areu also allegedly used a revoked power of attorney to place her elderly mother in a nursing home without her consent on two separate occasions, the Daily Mail <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11522801/Cathy-Areu-Liberal-Sherpa-charged-kidnapping-stealing-mom.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>.</p>
<p>The former commentator is facing a number of felony charges including kidnapping, exploitation of the elderly, and organized scheme to defraud, <a href="https://wsvn.com/news/local/miami-dade/former-fox-news-guest-charged-with-exploiting-her-mom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to 7 News Miami. Areu has been denied bond and is currently being held at Miami-Dade county jail.</p>
<p>Areu has been under investigation since 2019, according to prosecutors. The podcast host was reportedly evading authorities this summer, which included Areu spending time in Mexico.</p>
<p>Areu&#8217;s lawsuit against Fox News and some of the network&#8217;s personalities was <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/fox-news-succeeds-in-dismissing-ex-contributors-lawsuit-against-tucker-carlson-sean-hannity-ed-henry-and-howard-kurtz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dismissed</a> last year.</p>
<p>Areu claimed in the now-dismissed suit that Tucker Carlson propositioned her and then declined to have her on his show after she rebuffed him. However, she was invited on as a guest on &#8220;Tucker Carlson Tonight&#8221; four times in four months after the alleged incident.</p>
<p>Taking aim at Sean Hannity, Areu <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/fox-news-succeeds-in-dismissing-ex-contributors-lawsuit-against-tucker-carlson-sean-hannity-ed-henry-and-howard-kurtz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the host &#8220;threw $100 on the set desk&#8221; &#8220;completely unsolicited&#8221; and then &#8220;began calling out to the men in the room and demanding that someone take Ms. Areu out on a date for drinks at Del Friscos. He repeatedly yelled, ‘who wants to take her on a date?’ ‘Take her on a date to Del Friscos.’” The 51-year-old was &#8220;completely mortified,&#8221; she claimed.</p>
<p>Emails reveal that Areu actually asked a Fox News staffer via email if she could bring a male friend to the show. According to the network, Hannity offered Areu and her friend, &#8220;Alex,&#8221; $100 to get drinks at Del Frisco’s steakhouse nearby following her appearance.</p>
<p>Areu then sent an email thanking Hannity and his staff for including her on the show. In an email sent hours after that, she included a photo of a martini she apparently bought at the steakhouse.</p>
