Powers: Ailes Claims O’Reilly ‘Likes to Put Up Dirty Pictures’ & ‘Ask Pretty Girls About Them’

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.

Bill may have put up dirt pictures but Power’s ex-boyfriend staged, posed and texted them out.

It seems that the left has learned how to take out their opposition using sexism innuendo.

I find it odd that a website that BOR designated as a “hate site” is so upset that a fake Conservative narcissistic blowhard like BOR got canned for being a pin head.

Ailes, Hannity, O’Reilly & some others should abandon James Murdoch (who rigged all this, with the aid of the NYTimes) & FNC and do an internet startup.

I’d dump my cable, go 100% digital and subscribe.

"Thank you for your blonde-ness’ to both of us."

Exhibit A in the indictment of an estrogen fueled society where the slightest casual remark, or flippant joke, is now a Capital Offense against women, punishable by career death. Absolutely absurd. I can only hope that the pendulum begins to swing back to sanity and rationality.

I'm totally okay with women in the workforce, but I have witnessed far too many employment inquisitions at the hands of feeble females who are all too eager to ingratiate themselves to senior managers by, in many cases, falsely accusing others whom they coincidentally wouldn't mind having their position in their absence should the victim happen to then be subject to discipline.

[[Wow, he commented on their blondeness. Lock him up!]]

I’m surprised she didn’t get pregnant after that comment

i find it very peculiar that liberal women accuse a man of ‘sexual harassment’ for saying ‘very blond of you’ or some such nonsense, or that ‘they leered at me’, but then these same liberal, or even ‘conservative’ women turn around and embrace islam which thinks it’s their right to rape women and children

Exactly

I wish judge Jeannine would tone it down a bit too. Really no need for the cocktail dresses.
