Accuser suing O'Reilly, Fox News for defamation

Source: The Hill

Rachel Witlieb Bernstein, who previously settled a harassment claim with Fox News’s Bill O’Reilly, is suing the former cable news host and the network for breach of contract and defamation, The New York Times reported on Monday.

Bernstein's suit says that O'Reilly has been untruthful in saying publicly that the harassment allegations against him are meritless.
“In fact, Mr. O’Reilly is the liar,” the lawsuit reportedly says.

“He mistreated Ms. Bernstein. She was forced out of her job at Fox News and paid a settlement because of his mistreatment,” the suit states.

O’Reilly left the network in April after the Times, in an investigation, revealed that either Fox News or the television host paid approximately $13 million to five women to settle harassment allegations.

Another one who denies his own actions. This is the same strategy as Trump.
