Fox News parent Twenty-First Century Fox Inc said on Sunday it will investigate a sexual harassment claim against TV anchor Bill O'Reilly, who has seen several companies pull their ads from his top-rated news show in the past week.

The investigation comes after a complaint was phoned in to the network's corporate hotline last week by Wendy Walsh, a former regular guest on Fox's "The O'Reilly Factor" TV show, and her lawyer, Lisa Bloom, which the two posted to YouTube.

"21st Century Fox investigates all complaints and we have asked the law firm Paul Weiss to continue assisting the company in these serious matters," the company said in a statement.

Wendy Walsh was a former regular on the show? I honestly can't remember ever seeing her before.

Has anyone said what O’Reilly did, exactly? Maybe a compliment on one of the skin tight, cleavage busting dresses they wear?

Another HE SAID, SHE SAID celebrity lawsuit.

“Walsh, a psychologist and radio host, said O’Reilly reneged on an offer to secure her a lucrative job on the network after she declined his invitation to join him in his hotel suite after a dinner in early 2013.”

“complaint was phoned in” -— “Funny” way to deal with serious legal matter.

Exactly - totally in reaction to his statement of fact that nobody brought anything to HR. Now someone who was passed over for a job wants their 2 million.

Her lawyer is Gloria Allred’s daughter. I’m sure she dialed the number for Wendy.

For a period of time (maybe early to mid 2013 from what I remember)...she’d come on about every two or three weeks for a segment. My understanding was that she thought that he was making a promise to help her procure a steady...weekly or nightly appearance. When that didn’t come, she went to the harassment suggestion.

At this point, I’d say that she’s pretty toxic and can forget about any network or program picking her up for any interview.

For whoever replaces O’Reilly, I’d suggest that you insulate yourself completely and hire some team of female producers to run all matters around who appears on the show and never have any contact with anyone.

Bill seems to be hitting on a lot of women but never seems to get a date.

Here she is chumming it up with CNN’s dirt bag Don Lemon. This lady is a real piece of work, IMO.

Me either. Good looking, curvy, I would remember her. She couldn’t have been on very often.

That’s the almost unbelievable aspect, really. What effing bureaucrat will actually take a call and do up some official paperwork? Most of them just tell you blah, blah, blah “you gotta show up on whatever...”

I met O’Reilly at a book signing once. All the warmth and charm of an amoeba. Nothing like on TV.

4 years ago? Discounting I believe BOR is a letch, there is a statute of limitations on these suits. I think one of the interesting comments in the article is she is a democrat operative. Putting both together, outside the statute and being a democrat operative, I would not put much merit in this ..

When something works like sexual harassment the Left will use it over and over again

Indeed. While I don’t think much of BOR at all, really, this is really about “how can the liberal media strike back in a time of unprecedented turmoil within their ranks?”

The truth of it is that these prog-destructors were shown for what they truly were on November 8, 2016 and they absolutely don’t like it, for sure. So they strike where they think any landed punch will hurt. Amusing, because I could really give a crap about BOR - don’t watch him because his personality sucks but what the hey? THEIR mistake is their lashes land on dead skin because they can’t land any substantive punches on their real problem. A REAL President, unlike the Ubama, who is wholly energized by a base that sees through all this pathetic bullsh!t.

They are piling on O’Reilly like they piled on Trump.

You see how that worked out.
