| Aussie Member since: May 10, 2016 Threads: 2 Posts: 458 | What ever happened with the Bill O'Reilly sexual harassment incident with the producer (??)? I know it was probably 10+ years ago now but did it ever come out about how much he settled for? The recordings of him telling her how he wanted to take a shower with her and lather her up with soap were as disturbing as they were hilarious. |

Ah yes, the famous "falafel" incident. It never came out how much he settled for. Somewhere between $2-10 million. If I remember correctly, didn't she buy an expensive place in NYC afterwards? “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Couldn't have happened to a better guy Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

I can't remember all the details. I'd forgotten about the falafel comment! LOL How does a guy like O'Reilly sit there and moralise after something like that? Has to pay out millions for trying to cheat on his wife with a woman who wanted no part of it and he still gets paid a fortune to sit there and pretend to be the moral compass for society. I don't get it. We've got a similar media guy here in Australia actually - Alan Jones. Very similar background actually - school teacher, allegedly came from nowhere. Was arrested after an "incident" in a public toilet in London 30 years ago but still gets to tell the country what they should and shouldn't be doing. Mind boggling stuff. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18739 | Knowing that he's potentially got a lot of power I wouldn't do this unless I had some powerful evidence to use first. I would come in prepared. I wouldn't want to be in a position where they are going to run the disgruntled employee response into the ground on me. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Just because her boss is a "man's man", as she would have spun the story while still at Fox.

Good riddance to her, I always hit mute when she came on anyway. She won't win, it's a ridiculous lawsuit. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

She won't win - because it will be settled out of court. Just watch. Creepy Roger Ailes doesn't want his dirty laundry out there for all to see. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
