Conservative TV Commentator/Host Bill O’Reilly is out at the Fox News Channel O’Reilly’s dismissal comes at the heels after the Network settled 13 million dollars in Sexual Harassement claims levied at the Host.
O’Reilly was the host of the most highly rated show on the network, “The O’Reily Factor” for many years.
Known for being combative and temperamental when provoked, He had cultivated a large and loyal audience. Along with having a successful show on the network, he was also a successful Author writing several best selling books.
Even wilth all of that success, rumors began about his engaging in behavior that would fall into the category of Sexual Harassement with his female co-workers. Just like his former boss and head of Fox Programming, Roger Ailes, who resigned in July of 2016 under what many believe, pressure by Fox News amid similar claims of Sexual harassment
The New York Times published a long, extensive article detailing the O’Reilly allegations and the culture at Fox that flourished to allow this activity.
Proclaiming his innocence throughout O’Reilly claimed the charges were baseless asserting that powerful people like himself were always targets and the claims were without merit.
However, with more accusers ready to come forward, and advertisers withdrawing their add dollars or forbidding their adds to be run on his show, Fox had to take notice.
So where does O’Reilly go or do from here?? We’ll have to wait and see???
