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

Roger Ailes is out at Fox News but the troubles for the network might just be getting started.

In a new lawsuit filed in New York State Supreme Court on Monday, former Fox News host Andrea Tantaros alleges she was among a number of women sexually harassed by, yes, former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.

But she also alleges she was sexually harassed by the network’s biggest star, Bill O’Reilly. The suit alleges that O’Reilly attempted to lure her to Long Island where he told her it would be “very private” and that she could show him her “wild side.”

[C]ommencing 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.

This isn’t the first time O’Reilly has been accused of sexual harassment. In 2004, he was sued by Fox producer Andrea Mackris who alleged he “repeatedly subjected her to sexual harassment through dinner and phone conversations variously described as lewd, lascivious, vile and threatening.” The allegations included O’Reilly trying to lure Mackris to his hotel room.

The lawsuit alleges that Tantaros was ultimately removed from the air in retaliation for her complaints to Shine and others. Fox News later offered to continue to pay her through the length of her contract if she provided general legal releases to Ailes, O’Reilly, and others. The release would have also prevented her from discussing her time at Fox News in perpetuity.

    If Roger Ailes got jammed up, it wouldn't surprise me if O'Reilly, Hannity and other dudes get jammed up because they are also following the sexist behavior of Ailes. Those dudes are arrogant as hell so you know they were out in the open with they behavior.

    Taking it to the next level, this is an underlying theme with some in the cuckolding culture. Some racist can view ? as a fetish, like ? , and still be on that ? . They'll have "? sex" with black folks once and again, but bet they won't marry one.

    These fox news ? are hypocrites of the highest order.

    For years they've denied and scoffed at allegations of sexism and racism by women and poc all the while being harassed and discriminated against by the same people they help to push thier mysoginy and racism agendas on the nation.

    When they say they're being harassed I can believe it, but at the same time if a black man say he was discriminated against he's making excuses.

    I hope fox news collapses but at the same time ? these cac hoes

    ‘The Five’ Co-Host Andrea Tantaros Suing “Sex-Fueled” Fox News For $50M

    Roger Ailes may be gone and Fox News Channel may be cleaning house and aiming for new leadership, but the fallout from the claims of sexual harassment under the old CEO’s regime continues. Former The Five co-host Andrea Tantaros is now hitting the cable news network and Ailes with a nearly $50 million lawsuit.

    “Fox News masquerades as defender of traditional family values, but behind the scenes, it operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency, and misogyny,” says Tantaros in her multi-claim sexual harassment complaint (read it here) filed yesterday in New York state court. “Fox News knew of the sexual harassment perpetrated against Plaintiff, or at a minimum should have known about it, based upon the pervasive atmosphere of sexual harassment of female employees that was tolerated and condoned under Ailes’s leadership generally, and the brazenness of Ailes’s conduct with respect to Plaintiff,” she adds.

    “Ailes did not act alone,” Tantaros’ complaint says, noting advances from Bill O’Reilly, John Roberts and others during her tenure at the outlet. “He may have been the primary culprit, but his actions were condoned by his most senior lieutenants, who engaged in a concerted effort to silence Tantaros by threats, humiliation and retaliation.”

    Now benched as an on-air host since this spring supposedly because of not getting proper approvals for her book Tied Up In Knots, Tantaros is, as she points out in the complaint, still being paid. She is suing FNC, Ailes, newly minted co-president Bill Shine, close Ailes aide and FNC media SVP Irena Briganti, FNC legal EVP Diane Brandi, and Programming EVP Suzanne Scott. Tantaros and her lawyer Judd Burstein also make clear in the detailed suit that this is not just about the past and what they see as inadequate procedures at FNC but the future when they say: “Most importantly, the Murdochs have actually rewarded Ailes’s coconspirators by not terminating their employment, and, most egregiously, elevating Shine to the position of Co-President of Fox News.”

    A FNC spokesperson told Deadline the organization does not comment on pending litigation.

    In the five-claim filing made August 22, Tantaros says she “suffered lost income and mental anguish” from being taken off the air at Fox News and the media attention that emerged once her status at the station went public a few weeks ago. Having rejected a settlement proposed by FNC in arbitration earlier this year, she is also seeking more than $25 million in punitive damages.

    To make sure this case doesn’t end up behind the closed doors of arbitration, former co-host of The Five and Outnumbered takes a shot across the legal bow that FNC itself shattered the provisions of its employment agreement with her by going public with the fact the parties were already in arbitration over the consequences of her book, the internal response, and the claims of inappropriate behavior on the part of Ailes or others towards her.

    “Over the ensuing months, as Tantaros was weighing her options, Fox News made it clear that unless she entered into the unfair settlement it had proposed, the drumbeat of attacks on her would increase,” the 37-page complaint alleges.

    “Thus, there was a constant stream of reporters calling for confirmation of wholly baseless and slanderous information leaked by unnamed Fox News sources. Each of these ridiculous leaks — such as that Tantaros was removed from the air because she had been involved in physical altercations with two other women at Fox News — originated, on information and belief, from Briganti.”

    Reports have emerged in recent weeks that Tantaros’ allegations in the media of harassment from Ailes and others were unfounded, according to investigations made by the cable newser.

    Tantaros is represented by Burstein at NYC’s Judd Burstein, P.C.
