Hours after the official announcement of Bill O’Reilly‘s departure from Fox News, a former contributor at the network discussed her experiences with the former Factor host.
Appearing on Anderson Cooper 360 Wednesday, USA Today columnist Kirsten Powers recalled a segment on the show in which she appeared with Fox News’ Margaret Hoover. (Who appeared on CNN an hour earlier to share her own O’Reilly stories.)
“At the end of the segment, [O’Reilly] says ‘Thank you for your blonde-ness’ to both of us,” Powers said.
Powers told Cooper that she demanded an apology from O’Reilly. But she says she was told that wasn’t going to happen. And she also claims that former Fox News boss Roger Ailes defended the Factor host.
“And then Roger said ‘You know, Bill. He likes to put up dirty pictures and ask pretty girls to talk about them,'” Powers said.

Wow, he commented on their blondeness. Lock him up!
Hearsay.
You know, I really try to be fair and hold everybody to the same standards regardless of their political views. The level of backstabbing and character assassination against those on the “right,” however, always makes me wonder how much of it is true and how much some lefty pulled out of his ... hat.
Maggie Hoover says nothing ever happened. I guess heresay is the best CNN can come up with http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-margaret-hoover-i-made-sure-never-to-be-alone-with-bill-oreilly/
He was calling them stupid?
I know somebody who says that Kirsten Powers wears men’s underwear.
That was a pretty good assessment of her opinions.
If FOX was going to dump anyone it should have been that fat drunk Bob Beckel.
I want Kirsten to share her experiences dating Carlos Danger, not THAT would be some breaking news...
Powers told Cooper that she demanded an apology from O’Reilly...
Ok....am I missing something? The worst thing Powers could say after appearing on O'Reilly's show hundreds of times for the last 15 years is he once pointed out she was blonde?!? Or was the comment suppose to be a joke he made about blondes being dumb or something? I honestly don't get it, but it certainly doesn't sound very serious to me...
Anyone who watched his segments with Powers and other attractive women could clearly see he was a jerk. The guy must be worth 100 million dollars by now. He’s laughing all the way to the bank.
So it’s just a bunch of thin skinned narcissists who can’t even take a light hearted joke.
And that’s ‘harassment’?
“You know, Bill. He likes to put up dirty pictures and ask pretty girls to talk about them...”
It could be that Bill puts up dirty pictures of himself.
May be that is the only time Powers gets the feel of a man?
What a shocking comment! Kill him!
“Maggie Hoover says nothing ever happened. I guess heresay is the best CNN can come up with http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-margaret-hoover-i-made-sure-never-to-be-alone-with-bill-oreilly/";
That’s not a ringing endorsement of his character, is it?
We are doomed as a nation now, because this type of behavior is not only normal but has been necessary for the moral of men, not at all uncommon for soldiers protecting our country in times past to have pin up girl posters.
Amazing What rubbish the mass media passes for - instead of - news these days.
