You Can Now Read the Email Megyn Kelly Sent Fox News Execs About O'Reilly

by Josh Feldman | 3:56 pm, October 23rd, 2017

The Today Show website has published the email Megyn Kelly sent Fox News execs about Bill O’Reilly that she disclosed on-air earlier today.

Kelly sent the email, as she explained today, in response to Bill O’Reilly‘s comments about her book last November. And now the email she sent to Bill Shine and Jack Abernethy at the time is up on the Today Show website.

Kelly said that perhaps O’Reilly “didn’t realize the kind of message his criticism sends to young women across the country about how men continue to view the issue of speaking out about sexual harassment.”

She invoked “his own history of harassment of women” and even said, “Whatever the reason, you’ve got a hell of a guy hosting that 8pm hour.”

Bill O’Reilly Responds to Megyn Kelly: Her Allegations Are ‘Incomprehensible’

by Joe DePaolo | 12:15 pm, October 23rd, 2017

Following a powerful Today monologue Monday in which Megyn Kelly blasted former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, the ex-Factor host responded — saying that he is perplexed as to why Kelly is speaking out against him.

Appearing on The Glenn Beck Program Monday, O’Reilly told host Glenn Beck that Kelly never made a formal harassment allegation against him.

“She didn’t file a complaint,” O’Reilly said. “Not that I know of.” O’Reilly then had Beck read a pair of thank you notes from Kelly on the air (included below via CNN Money’s Tom Kludt).




O’Reilly closed by expressing his bewilderment at Kelly’s comments. “I never had any problem with Megyn Kelly,” O’Reilly said. He added. “I don’t know why Megyn Kelly is doing what she’s doing. I don’t know why…It is incomprehensible.”
