Bill O’Reilly settled allegations of sexual harassment for millions
In his two decades at Fox News, Bill O’Reilly stood out as a leading figure. As the host of “The O’Reilly Factor,” he garnered an immense audience. By 2015, his program attracted over 3 million viewers, eclipsing the combined ratings of competitors MSNBC and CNN during the same timeslot.
However, once the truth about O’Reilly’s questionable conduct came to light, his career came crashing down. In April 2017, 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Fox News, publicly announced that O’Reilly was let go.
