Who is Bill O’Reilly? The Man Who Allegedly Paid US$32 Million (RM140 M) in A Sexual Harassment Case
In 2017, critics questioned his denial of wrongdoing, citing the settlement’s magnitude. Legal experts suggest the payment baffled them. Wiehl’s claims also highlighted possible unwelcome sexual relationships in workplace harassment laws. He reportedly said he settled to spare his children from bad publicity.
O’Reilly, who maintains innocence, faced multiple harassment claims from 2002 to 2017. Analysts warn that such agreements hinder evidence in similar cases. The $32 million payout is considered among the highest individual sexual harassment settlements, sparking outrage and calls for accountability. – Sources: The Wrap – The Guardian – CNBC YouTube
