Miami, Florida – Cathy Areu, the self-proclaimed ‘Liberal Sherpa’ was arrested for kidnapping her 88-year-old mother twice and scamming her out of $224,000.

Areu, 51, is a former contributing editor for the Washington Post and used to be a regular guest on Fox News.

According to Florida authorities, Cathy Areu falsified documents to take control of her mother’s home, opened credit cards in her mother’s name and physically dragged her to a nursing home against her will.

According to the Daily Mail, Cathy Areu told her mother she was taking her to ice cream with her grandchildren and instead took her to a nursing home against her will.

Cathy Areu is being held without bond in Miami-Dade jail.

The Daily Mail reported:

The self-proclaimed ‘Liberal Sherpa’ who once was a regular guest on Fox News stole at least $224,000 from her 88-year-old mother and physically dragged the elderly woman to a nursing home against her will, Florida authorities said on Friday.

Cathy Areu, 51, faces numerous felony charges including kidnapping, exploitation of the elderly and organized scheme to defraud. She is being held without bond in Miami-Dade county jail.

Areu previously appeared as an unpaid guest on a number of Fox News shows until 2020, when she filed a sexual harassment lawsuit naming hosts Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson — a claim that was later dismissed by a judge.

Miami-Dade County prosecutors say she falsified documents to take control of her mother’s home, siphoned money from her mother’s reverse mortgage and savings account, and took out credit cards in her mother’s name and then used them for her own benefit.

Details of Areu’s arrest were not released, but prosecutors said she had been evading authorities since June, including spending time in Mexico. She was being held without bond Friday at the county jail.

Court and jail records do not show if she has an attorney to speak on her behalf.

According to prosecutors, the investigation began in 2019 when state officials received reports that Areu was exploiting her mother.

Paperwork had been filed turning over the mother’s house to Areu, but the mother denied the signature was hers.

Recall, Cathy Areu in 2020 accused Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity of sexual assault.

Of course the lawsuit was eventually dismissed by a judge.

Tucker Carlson invited Africa Today reporter Simon Atebe on his show on Friday night.  Atebe is a reporter in the White House press room representing Africa.  And for some reason WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre holds a visceral hatred of this guy.

Jean Pierre frequently shuts down his direct questioning that goes against Biden regime narrative.  Jean Pierre recently walked out of the press briefing when Atebe asked her an uncomfortable question.

Tonight on Tucker Carlson, Simon Atebe did not hold back.

Simon Atebe: It’s been a disaster, a total catastrophe, a real nightmare covering the Biden White House.  Right now I’m the voice of Africa in the US.  But I can confirm the level of discrimination against me and against African journalists in the White House is outstanding, is disgraceful.  You know it’s been three months that we don’t have questions at the White House even as Biden is about to have 50 African heads of state in DC for the US-African Summit.

Poor Simon. What a gutsy reporter.
