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 on-air personality who had come forward with similar accusations about the network’s top host, Bill O’Reilly.

The employee, Juliet Huddy, had said that Mr. O’Reilly 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. O’Reilly had called Ms. Huddy repeatedly and that it sometimes sounded like 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 and 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Fox News. The company and Mr. O’Reilly’s lawyer said her allegations were false.

1. Not the first time O'Reilly has called subordinates as he was playing w/his "little billy."

Andrea Mackris and the smoking gun is a fun read.

Bill would call Ms. Mackris with a buzz toy up his backside and would be playing
w/himself and would try to get Andrea to use a dildo he sent to her apartment.

for every guy that sexually harassed me...I'd never have to worry about money again.

3. It's sadly and disgustingly apparent...

that a significant portion of Americans don't care about sexism and sexual harassment.

I'd hope those who care would be in some kind of majority - but we're not.
