O’Reilly’s Behavior Said to Have Helped Drive Megyn Kelly Out at Fox

Last fall, in the weeks after 21st Century Fox struck settlements with two women who said that Bill O’Reilly had sexually harassed them, the Fox News host went on morning television and offered a harsh assessment of women who had come forward with complaints about the network.

“Look, it’s open season,” he said, visibly irritated, when asked about a recently published book by Megyn Kelly, his colleague at the time. In the book, Ms. Kelly provided an account of being sexually harassed by Roger Ailes, the network’s former chairman. Later Mr. O’Reilly added, “Let’s whack the Fox News Channel. I’ve had enough of it. It’s a good place to work. All right?”

The comments set off a media firestorm and frustrated Ms. Kelly, who sent an email to Fox News executives complaining about his behavior and the chilling effect it could have on women at the company and beyond, according to four people with knowledge of the email who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.

Despite Ms. Kelly’s complaint, and a plea from a producer that Mr. O’Reilly not be allowed to make similar remarks on his prime-time show, Mr. O’Reilly delivered a second public scolding on the program that night.

'There’s no question it should be addressed,” he started to say, before implying that workplace predators aren't the problem — it is the women who aren't "strong" enough to resist their advances.

“Ivanka is a strong, powerful woman, she would not allow herself to be subjected to it,” Eric Trump said. For women who are subjected to abuse at work, he simply advised that they "take it up with Human Resources."

When asked by USA Today columnist Kirsten Powers how he would feel if Ivanka were harassed at work, he said he would expect her to simply find another job.


“I would like to think she (Ivanka) would find another career or find another company if that was the case,” Trump said.
