The Explosive New Sexual Harassment Allegations Against Bill O’Reilly, Detailed


After complaining, a former Fox News host was banned from his show.

Commencing in February 2016, Bill O’Reilly (“O’Reilly”), whom Tantaros had considered to be a good friend and a person from whom she sought career guidance, started sexually harassing her by, inter alia, (a) asking her to come to stay with him on Long Island where it would be “very private,” and (b) telling her on more than one occasion that he could “see (her] as a wild girl,” and that he believed that she had a “wild side.” Fox News did take one action: plainly because of O’Reilly’s rumored prior sexual harassment issues and in recognition of Tantaros’s complaints, Brandi informed Cane that Tantaros would no longer be appearing on O’Reilly’s Fox News show, The O’Reilly Factor.

One instance of particularly egregious alleged conduct involved former Massachusetts Senator, and current Fox News contributor, Scott Brown:
On or about August 18, 2015, former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown (“Brown”) appeared on Outnumbered. Brown made a number of sexually inappropriate comments to Tantaros on set, including, and in a suggestive manner, that Tantaros “would be fun to go to a nightclub with.” After the show was over, Brown snuck up behind Tantaros while she was purchasing lunch and put his hands on her lower waist. She immediately pulled back, telling Brown to “stop.” Tantaros then immediately met with Shine to complain, asking him to ensure that Brown would never be booked on the show again. Shine said that he would talk to Scott. Thereafter, Shine and Scott ignored Tantaros’s complaint, and continued to book Brown on Outnumbered.

Court Scheduled hearings on these Suckers. Smells like the Lawyers for Murdoch's Septic Tank News,is going to run the clock and file every darn motion known to mankind against all of the victims. Noticed the ramp up of negative stories about any and all of the Ladies who have come forward so far. You can try to keep a lid on these issues just so long and then kaboom.

Because that gang of scumbags like it that way. And their fans don't give on half a shit about it, actually most of them think sexism isn't a thing anymore. Nothing will come of all this, I feel certain.
