NEW REVELATIONS INVOLVING BILL O'REILLY AND THE GREAT NUMBER
OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWSUITS AGAINST HIM THAT WERE SETTLED.
FOXNEWS PAID THEM OUT, A STRONG INDICATION THAT HE IN FACT DID
DO IT.
FOX IS NOT A WILTING FLOUR, THEY DON'T SHY AWAY FROM A FIGHT
ESPECIALLY IF THEY THINK THEY ARE RIGHT AND OFTEN TIMES WHEN
THEY ARE VERY WRONG.
LET'S GO TO THE NEW YORK TIMES TO GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS.
LET ME
GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.
THERE IS A VERY FAMOUS INCIDENT OF THAT, THE TAPES WERE
RELEASED AT ONE POINT.
WE KNOW WHAT O'REILLY SAID.
AND YES I WILL QUOTE THAT LATER IN THE STORY.
LET'S GO OVER THE NUMBER OF LAWSUITS SETTLED AT FOX NEWS,
FIRST AGAINST O'REILLY.
FIVE DIFFERENT ONES SETTLED.
TO BE FAIR, ONE OF THOSE WAS NOT SEXUAL HARASSMENT, JUST VERBAL.
IT DOESN'T MAKE IT BETTER, BUT I AM KEEPING IT REAL.
THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT WERE SETTLED, THERE ARE MORE
ALLEGATIONS, BUT THEY HAVE ADMITTED TO FIVE OF THEM IN
ESSENCE BY SETTLING.
ON A CASE LIKE ANDREA, THAT IS NOT ON THIS CASE.
THEY ARE NOT SETTLING AND THEY ARE FIGHTING HER VIGOROUSLY.
SHE HAS AN INTERESTING CASE TO MAKE BUT THEY THINK SHE CAN'T
PROVE IT SO THEY ARE FIGHTING HER TOOTH AND NAIL IN THE
MIDST OF THIS CONTROVERSY.
USING THE ONES THAT THEY SETTLED THEY DON'T KNOW THAT THEY
ACTUALLY DID IT?
OF COURSE.
THAT IS JUST O'REILLY.
ROGER AILES ON THE ACCOUNT HAS SETTLED SIX HARASSMENT LAWSUITS.
THERE ARE DOZENS OF CHARGES BUT THEY HAVE SETTLED SIX.
GIVING US A GRAND TOTAL OF 11 CASES OF HARASSMENT THAT FOX
NEWS HAS SETTLED ON JUST BILL O'REILLY, THEIR LEADING HOST
AND ROGER AILES WHO USED TO BE THE HEAD OF FOX NEWS.
HE HAS OF COURSE STEPPED DOWN SINCE ALL THESE ALLEGATIONS
CAME FORWARD AND WERE CORROBORATED.
DO KNOW WHAT HE GOT AS AN EXIT PACKAGE?
HE HAD A $40 MILLION EXIT PACKAGE.
THEY GAVE AILES $40 MILLION ON TOP AS HE WAS LEAVING.
IT SEEMS LIKE NEWS CORP.
IS REALLY TOUGH ON THESE SEXUAL HARASSERS.
IN FACT BILL O'REILLY JUST GOT A CONTRACT EXTENSION.
MORE DETAILS.
I WILL GIVE YOU DETAILS ON THAT AS WELL BECAUSE THE DETAILS
ARE GROSS.
THE WAY HE USES POWER IS ABUSIVE AND DISCUSSING.
ANOTHER THING THAT IS GROSS IS WHAT HIS EXCUSE IS.
HE DOESN'T DENY THESE THINGS HAPPENED, BUT INSTEAD HE HIDES
BEHIND HIS CHILDREN.
HERE IS WHAT HE SAID.
THAT IS HIS WAY OF SAYING OF COURSE I WAS INNOCENT BUT WE
PAID $13 MILLION IN LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT ANYWAY BECAUSE MY
CHILDREN ñ IN DIVORCE HEARINGS, I AM ONLY SAYING THIS BECAUSE
HE BROUGHT IT UP, ONE OF HIS KIDS SAID THAT IN 11
YEARS THEY HAD ALMOST NEVER SEEN HIM.
THE WORD NEVER WAS EMPHASIZED.
THOSE CHILDREN HE CARED SO MUCH ABOUT HE APPARENTLY DIDN'T
BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PARENT.
SO SAD.
IF YOU ARE THAT KID THAT NEVER EVEN SAW O'REILLY WHEN HE WAS
YOUR DAD AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN HE IS HIDING BEHIND YOU?
HERE IS ANOTHER ONE.
THERE IS NO ACTUAL DENIAL IN
THOSE STATEMENTS.
STOP HIDING BEHIND YOUR KIDS, YOU ARE SUCH A COWARD.
THERE IS OF COURSE ONE THAT WE ALREADY KNEW ABOUT IN PUBLIC.
THERE WAS ONE THAT WAS A VERBAL HARASSMENT, THERE IS ONE WE
WILL TELL YOU ABOUT, BUT THERE IS OF COURSE ANDREA WHO IS
SOMEONE WE FOUND OUT ABOUT A LONG TIME AGO.
I WILL GIVE YOU SOME OF THOSE IN A SECOND.
LET ME REMIND YOU WHAT HAPPENED THERE.
THERE IS A LOT OF THREATS FROM O'REILLY WHICH I WILL READ TO
YOU IN A SECOND.
IF YOU WERE FALSELY ACCUSED OF SOMETHING AND YOU ARE UPSET,
OKAY, BUT WE HAVE THE TAPES AND WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID
WITH HER.
LET ME REDO TRANSCRIPTS FROM THE TAPES ñ
I WILL REDO THE TRANSCRIPTS IN A SECOND.
I WANT TO GO TO MEGAN KELLY.
SHE EXPLAINED THAT THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY.
IT WASN'T JUST O'REILLY.
O'REILLY KNEW THAT ROGER AILES HAS HIS BACK.
NOW A NEW LAWSUIT SAYS BILL SHINE ALSO HAD THEIR BACK AND
WOULD COVER UP AT ALL COSTS.
NOW THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION BEING DONE BY PROSECUTORS IN
NEW YORK.
LET ME READ YOU ALL THE THREATS FROM O'REILLY, THEN I WILL
REDO THE TRANSCRIPT OF WHAT HE ACTUALLY SAID.
O'REILLY SAID ABOUT THIS LAWSUIT FROM ANDREA AT THE TIME.
AND I DON'T MEAN HIS SEXUAL PROCLIVITIES ñ
NEW YORK TIMES REPORTS.
DO YOU SEE HOW SICK THESE GUYS ARE?
THEY KNOW SHE IS RIGHT BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME TRANSCRIPTS
I HAVE, BUT THEY GO AFTER HER ANYWAY AND MAKE IT SEEM LIKE
SHE IS THE PROMISCUOUS ONE.
NOW BECAUSE OF THAT I WILL ACTUALLY REDO TRANSCRIPTS OF
BILL O'REILLY TRYING TO HAVE PHONE SEX WITH MACKRIS.
THE ENTIRE TIME SHE IS NOT PARTICIPATING, IT TURNS OUT
SHE WAS RECORDING HIM AFTER HE CONSTANTLY CALLED HER OVER
AGAIN MASTURBATING ON THE PHONE.
THIS TIME AGAIN HE IS MASTURBATING, AND SHE IS NOT
SAYING ANYTHING.
YOU HEAR IT ON
THE TAPES.
THIS IS AWFULLY SPECIFIC.
AGAIN HE IS SAYING THIS TO A
WOMAN WHO IS NOT SAYING
ANYTHING BACK.
THIS IS NOT A TWO-WAY PHONE CONVERSATION.
THIS IS JUST HIM TELLING HER ALL THESE THINGS AS HE APPEARS TO
BE MASTURBATING.
HERE COMES THE BEST PART.
LOOK, THE FALAFEL THING
CONFUSING THE LOOFAH FOR THE
FALAFEL, YES FUNNY.
BUT IF YOU ARE IN THE SITUATION WHERE THIS PERVERT KEEPS
CALLING YOU AND WITHOUT YOU SAYING YOU ARE INTERESTED ñ
AND HE IS YOUR BOSS.
YOUR BOSS IS CALLING YOU TO TELL YOU HOW HE WOULD RUB FALAFEL'S
ALL OVER YOUR BREASTS.
AND IF YOU PLAY ALONG HE KEEPS TELLING YOU YOU MIGHT GET
SOMETHING, IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL GET FIRED.
THIS IS THE GROSS GAME BEING PLAYED AT FOX NEWS FOR YEARS.
AND THEY KEPT RENEWING HIS CONTRACT, THEY DIDN'T CARE.
LET'S GET SOME MORE OF THE MOST RECENT CASES.
IN 2011, REBECCA GOMEZ DIAMOND ñ SAME EXACT THING, EVEN THOUGH HE
GOT BUSTED ON THE MACKRIS' CASE ALONE HE HAD TO PAY $9 MILLION.
HE GOES AND DOES IT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER ANCHOR FROM FOX NEWS
BUSINESS.
HE JUST GOT SUED FOR THE
SAME THING.
AGAIN BUSTED AND AGAIN HAS TO PAY.
NOW WE GO TO ANOTHER PERSON, JULIET HUDDY WHO WAS ANOTHER
ANCHOR.
HE IS
SUCH A BAD GUY MAN.
I KNOW IT IS A TINY DETAIL BUT HE GOES AND FOR THE KIDS, SHE
STUMBLES AND HE JUST LOOKS AT HER.
ON THE CASE OF JULIET HUDDY WHEN SHE REBUFFED HIM HE TRIED TO
BLUNT HER CAREER PROSPECTS.
IS NOT JUST THAT HE IS TRYING TO HAVE SEX WITH THEM, IT IS THAT
HE HAS NO INDICATION FROM THEM.
ON TOP OF THAT HE IS BASICALLY THREATENING THEIR CAREERS.
THAT TO ME THIS IS THE WORST PART.
NOT ONLY DO THEY DO THESE TERRIBLE THINGS BUT THEY SET
OUT TO DESTROY YOU EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW YOU ARE RIGHT.
NOW WE GO TO WENDY WALSH.
CLASSIC O'REILLY, MEAN, ANGRY, AND THEN HE INSULTS EVERYTHING
ABOUT HER.
YOU KNOW THAT CONTRIBUTOR ROLE PAYS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS.
O'REILLY BASICALLY SAID IF YOU PLAY BALL AND YOU SLEEP WITH
ME YOU WILL GET HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, IF NOT
YOU'LL GET FIRED.
AND HE MADE THAT CLEAR ENOUGH AND IT WAS PROVABLE ENOUGH THAT
THEY SETTLED AND SAID YOU ARE RIGHT AND PAID OFF THESE WOMEN.
THAT IS WHO THIS IS, BILL O'REILLY IS.
SO WHEN YOU WATCH FOX NEWS UNDERSTAND WHO USED TO RUN IT
AND WHO IS THEIR NUMBER ONE STAR NOW.
THIS GUY WHO GOES AT HOME AND HARASSES HIS PRODUCERS AND
COHOSTS AND PROMISES OF JOBS IF THEY SLEEP WITH HIM.
IF THEY DON'T HE THREATENS TO RUIN THEIR REPUTATION EVEN
THOUGH HE KNOWS THEY ARE RIGHT.
THAT IS BILL O'REILLY.
THAT IS FOX NEWS.
