Bill O'Reilly released a statement on Wednesday clarifying his departure from Fox News, saying that "completely unfounded claims" were the cause.
The departure came in the wake of multiple sexual harassment allegations against the cable news star, but his statement remained positive toward his former employer, Mediaite reported.
"Over the past 20 years at Fox News, I have been extremely proud to launch and lead one of the most successful news programs in history, which has consistently informed and entertained millions of Americans and significantly contributed to building Fox into the dominant news network in television," O'Reilly stated.
"It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims. But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today," he continued, alluding to the sexual harassment allegations.
"I will always look back on my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers. I wish only the best for Fox News Channel," he concluded.
O'Reilly had worked for Fox News for over 20 years before he was released on Wednesday.

I told myself last night that if Tucker has that squeaky voiced Jessica Tarlov on one more time I’m finished.
Where in hell did they find her?
.
I would guess ALL of could have claimed harrassment at our jobs in life.
One liberal female boss asked out loud my position after 9/11 and when I told the room two guys left and the BOSS told me that was disgusting.
Then she begged forgiveness when she was told the obvious.
Another asian female boss used to call me @@@hole and stupid...this from a woman who did form letters in EXCEL to send out. That was back in the 90s
Great boss, guy named Bob used to tell me how his irish father used to call his italian mother a mountain guinea because of where she came form in Italy. No biggie, but if that was taped by me? A biggie. Ironic thing was the CEO had MY italian last name :)
Then there was the gal who said if I lost 50 pounds her and the other women in the office would dress really slutty and take me out for a night i won’t forget. I’ll leave this one at that :) It was harassment, but I didn’t mind :)
But if a GUY said to a gal, lose 50 pounds and i’ll give you a night you’ll never forget”!!!! lol!! done. :)
What a CRAZY world.
BTW, looking back when I was manager in graphics dept, i committed HUGE YUGE harassment. Told the Puerto African guys they had to drink from the separate but equal fountain lol!!!!
I once told the whole department (about 40 people there) that since it was quiet that day, be procreative!!!! oops!!
I am glad he is gone. It was strictly a business decision previously when FOX paid out big bucks to save the old lecher's career. He just made it to the point where the balance between expected future profits and the current payout amount didn't work in his favor.
As far as his remarks about those of us on FR:

O’Reilly has always been an obnoxious jerk who pretends to be neutral, but has always had that sort of snarky media left wing bias just lurking under the surface.
He did not protect himself from sexual harassment charges...
Well, just how does one do THAT if the charges are trumped up?
“O’Reilly is gone because he was a cad who got caught on tape...”
And you know this HOW?
I don’t know what happened. But, in general phone stalking by anyone is creepy.
.... Taking down the most successful Conservative talk show hosts has always been an industrial sized wet dream of the Left and the Hate America crowd. They have their tactics to achieve their goal and they stick with it until they accomplish their objective. They know what they are doing and they are just getting started. The question now is .... Who’s Next?
Wow, he said that?
You know what is ‘priceless’??? Someone saying what they think for a change instead of going with the flow...
That is what ‘priceless’ is...hope you have a plate of it!!!

Jim Rob calls O’Reilly an elite gasbag!
Sadly they don’t need proof. Gives some women a tremendous amount of power if they are good actors and drama queens. Remember the airplane accusations against Trump. No proof. One month before election. Very convenient.
The DemonRats learned a hard lesson from this last presidential election: GET FOX NEWS AND SHUT DOWN THE TRUTH!
P.S. I don’t like BOR, but this isn’t about him. It’s about shutting down Fox News.
Don’t put yourself in the same room as a woman w/o witnesses. Don’t call one without witnesses unless you want a lawsuit. He was either stupid or hitting on them.
Agreed. So many women have decided to climb into the ring with the guys to compete with them. IMO, generally women don’t belong in the workplace competing with men, so if they do then they should take the consequences.
Women know what they’re up to. They usually can avoid a compromising situation if they want to. I think often they allow themselves to get into a potentially compromising situation and then later cry “Wolf” if it suits them.
I think since women generally know when they choose to enter a potentially compromising situation, they can be prepared to prove legitimate “harassment” although they could also use the same device to entrap the guy.
IMO, there’s a lot of b/s surrounding the sexual “harassment” thing.
How much slutty flirting lead up to those tapes? O’Reilly would have been destroyed long ago if he made a practice of talking dirty early to women around work.
Sometimes I think you women spot these things better than men. I think you know what goes on in the mind of a woman better than most guys.
