A FORMER Fox News host who sued the network for sexual harassment is fighting claims she didn’t write an anti-feminist book published under her name.

Now for the plot twist: A man says he authored the book.

Andrea Tantaros is being sued by ghostwrite­r Michael Malice, who claims she failed to pay him for writing her 2016 book “Tied Up in Knots,” according to court documents unsealed Thursday in Manhattan Federal Court.

“It’s a false claim,” Tantaros’ lawyer, Judd Burstein, told the Daily News. He said the suit is retaliatio­n from Fox after Tantaros joined several women bringing sexual harassment cases against the company.

“We have good reason to believe Fox News is behind this case,” he said.
