Fox employee says Bill OReilly appeared to be masturbating when talking on the phone with her

In the past year, multiple Fox News anchors have reported extreme, ongoing sexual harassment by former network CEO Roger Ailes, leading to his ouster from the network. But Ailes doesnt appear to be the only perpetrator of abuse at Fox.
The New York Times [link:https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/10/business/media/bill-oreilly-sexual-harassment-fox-news-juliet-huddy.html?mtrrefundefined&gwh3A70760BCDA6CAFDC3C193618124CDFB&gwtpay&_r0reports] that a letter by lawyers for former Fox employee Juliet Huddy alleges Bill OReilly and co-President of Fox Jack Abernathy sexually harassed her, then tried to sabotage her career when she refused their advances. After the bad press generated by sexual harassment claims made against Ailes, executives agreed to a quiet settlement with Huddy to prevent a lawsuit, the Times reports.
OReilly was not exactly a paragon of professionalism, according to the letter, which claimed he once greeted Huddy in a hotel room in his boxer shorts and occasionally sounded as if he was masturbating when he called her on the phone. A Fox News spokesperson told the Times the letter contained falsehoods, but did not appear to dispute that there was a settlement.
OReilly has been accused of sexually harassing female employees before, including the famed falafel incident, in which Fear Factor associate producer Andrea Mackris claimed OReilly shared steamy fantasies [link:http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/oreilly-suit-turns-10?page15about] the falafel thing.

(22 posts)Considering O'Reilly's penchant for the obscure, this isn't surprising. If the allegations are true he should be sacked.

(4,229 posts)Anybody who complains about racism, sexist comments or actions, or even just uncivil behavior is a target. That it's personalities are like that is not a suprise.
What is surprising is that anybody who is not willing to agree with those things seeks employment there.
