Mercedes reportedly pulls ads following allegations of sexual harassment against Bill O'Reilly

Mercedes has reportedly pulled its ads from The O'Reilly Factor following allegations of sexual harassment against Fox News' ratings king.

"We had advertising running on The O'Reilly Factor (we run on most major cable news shows) and it has been reassigned in the midst of this controversy," a Mercedes spokesperson told CNN's Tom Kludt.

Mercedes did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The New York Times reported on Saturday that Fox News and O'Reilly paid out $13 million to women who accused him of harassment, ranging from "verbal abuse, lewd comments, unwanted advances, and phone calls 'in which it sounded as if Mr. O’Reilly was masturbating, according to documents and interviews.'"

should be enough to end his career. He is a horrendous hypocritical creep who rants about "defamation" yet continues to call and harass his female employees because he is a loser.
