Fox News Fires Bill OReilly Amid Sexual Harassment Storm
In a shocking reversal of fortune for one of the most prominent voices in TV news, Bill OReilly has been ousted from Fox News Channel amid the firestorm over sexual harassment allegations leveled against the host in recent years.
After a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the Company and Bill OReilly have agreed that Bill OReilly will not be returning to the Fox News Channel, Fox News parent company 21st Century Fox said in a statement Wednesday.
In a memo to staffers signed by Rupert Murdoch, chairman of Fox News; James Murdoch, 21st Century Fox CEO; and Lachlan Murdoch, exec chairman of 21st Century Fox, the Murdochs said the decision to part ways with OReilly was made after working with outside attorneys. Fox News had been investigating the most recent harassment allegations that surfaced in the past two weeks. The Murdochs said they sought to underscore our consistent commitment to fostering a work environment built on the values of trust and respect.

What is more likely is that, after a period of time, and only if revenues drop, FOX will re-hire him in some capacity.
