Courtney Autobiography

Courtney is also a published author, having written an autobiography titled Tonight at 10: Kicking Booze and Breaking News. It really is about her previous drug and alcohol addictions. In August 2020, it was revealed that Zero Gravity had pitched the film rights to turn the memoir into a biopic. For instance, she catches the media's attention when she confesses in her books that President Donald Trump once tried to persuade her to kiss over the phone in 2010 when she indicated an interest in being a judge for the Miss USA beauty contest. 

She wrote that Trump told her that she was the hottest one at Fox News, and even called her up on my office line with a proposition. He would say, You should come up to my office sometime, so we can kiss, She wrote, how she was shocked and responded to him saying, ‘I believe we’re both married.’ and then quickly ended the call. 

In fact, Friel was a skilled newscaster during the day and a party girl at night. To cope with the trauma of covering mass shootings, murders, and car accidents, Friel consumed more alcohol and increased her usage of Adderall, Xanax, and cocaine until she found up in rehab. She describes herself as bashful as a child in the book. 

She was even picked on at school and didn't feel good about herself, so she resorted to booze for solace. In Tonight at 10, Friel tells it all, from bribing off cops in Mexico after a cocaine arrest to sober sexual exploits and, finally, journeys in holistic medicine to attain deep inner peace. Her grim story is laced with crude humor and hard-won optimism despite every setback along the road. 

She also stated that she was sexually harassed by then-Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, "albeit not to the extent that some of my other coworkers were." She said that Ailes "would urge me to twirl for him," which other women at the network stated they were also requested to do. Tonight at 10: Kicking Booze and Breaking News, her book, relates the narrative of her addiction and rehabilitation, but in three pages she recounts an incident from 2010 while working at Fox News.
