Fox News Settled Sexual Harassment Allegations Against Bill OReilly, Documents Show
In the weeks after Roger Ailes was ousted as the chairman of Fox News in July amid a sexual harassment scandal, company executives secretly struck an agreement with a longtime broadcast personality who had come forward with similar accusations about the networks top host, Bill OReilly.
The employee, Juliet Huddy, had said that Mr. OReilly pursued a sexual relationship with her in 2011, at a time he exerted significant influence over her career. When she rebuffed his advances, he tried to derail her career, according to a draft of a letter from her lawyers to Fox News that was obtained by The New York Times.
The letter includes allegations that Mr. OReilly had called Ms. Huddy repeatedly and that it sometimes sounded as if he was masturbating. He invited her to his house on Long Island, tried to kiss her, took her to dinner and the theater, and after asking her to return a key to his hotel room, appeared at the door in his boxer shorts, according to the letter.
In exchange for her silence and agreement not to sue, she was paid a sum in the high six figures, according to people briefed on the agreement. The agreement was between Ms. Huddy, 47, and 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Fox News. The company and Mr. OReillys lawyer said her allegations were false.

oreilly etc.
Just like there is nothing wrong with anything trump does to anyone in the eyes of his supporters.
We thought all of us were the same when it came to sexual abuse like this, or thieving from others and so on, but we are not.
A good 30-35% of this country believes this behavior, given the actors, is appropriate.
