A Career in Broadcasting<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Miami native, Eckhart graduated from the University of Florida\u2019s College of Journalism and Communications. Her early broadcasting experience included work as an entertainment anchor for WUFT-TV in Gainesville and as a correspondent for ESPN Radio.<\/p>\n

She joined Fox in 2013 and worked as an associate producer at Fox Business, helping create television segments and interviews before leaving the network in 2020. Her career brought her into contact with figures across business, entertainment and public life. Stuart, FL<\/a><\/p>\n

A New Direction Through Podcasting<\/strong><\/p>\n

After leaving network television, Eckhart created REINVENTED with Jen Eckhart<\/strong>, a podcast exploring how people rebuild their lives and careers after difficult experiences.<\/p>\n

The series featured conversations with guests from sports, entertainment and business. Among those interviewed were basketball player Dwight Howard and former Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg.<\/p>\n

Eckhart also founded The Reinvented Project<\/strong>, a nonprofit supporting trauma survivors through animal-assisted healing. The initiative reflected her longstanding affection for animals and her interest in helping others navigate adversity. AOL<\/a><\/p>\n

Lawsuit Against Ed Henry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eckhart became widely known in 2020 when she filed a lawsuit accusing former Fox News anchor Ed Henry of rape and other sexual misconduct. Henry denied the allegations.<\/p>\n

Fox News, which fired Henry in 2020, was subsequently dismissed from the lawsuit. Eckhart settled her remaining claims against Henry in 2025. Following the settlement, she spoke publicly about her renewed commitment to supporting other trauma survivors. people.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Remembered by Her Family<\/strong><\/p>\n

In her obituary, Eckhart\u2019s family remembered her enthusiasm for music, performing, storytelling and animals, as well as her close relationships with those around her.<\/p>\n

Her childhood included involvement in choir, drama, athletics and student leadership at Westminster Christian School. Away from work, she enjoyed family travel and fishing in the Florida Keys.<\/p>\n

She is survived by her parents, Jim and Cindy Eckhart, and her brother, Jimmy. Her family requested donations to an animal charity in her memory, reflecting a cause that remained important throughout her life. Stuart, FL<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
