Fox News Fires John Huddy, Brother of O’Reilly Accuser Juliet Huddy
Mediaite ^ | 10/23/2017 | Casey Hopkins

Fox News has parted ways with Jerusalem-based correspondent John Huddy.

The timing of this news coming out is sure to raise eyebrows as it has nearly immediately followed a shocking interview that his sister Juliet Huddy had with Megyn Kelly today.

Ms. Huddy appeared on the Today show to discuss her settled sexual harassment allegations against former Fox News anchor, Bill O’Reilly, a story that has led to numerous accusations leveled by O’Reilly, Kelly’s husband and Fox News.

Not a pretty story by any stretch.

When asked about Huddy’s departure, a Fox News spokesperson told Mediaite that “Following a thorough investigation into a physical altercation earlier this month, FOX News made the decision to sever ties with Jerusalem-based correspondent John Huddy.

The network’s investigation concluded last week, and due to observation of the Sabbath on Friday, terminated Huddy’s employment this morning.”

I find it curious that bright, capable, well-educated career women would willingly endure such “hellish” conditions for so long
That's exactly what was asked of Anita Hill, re: Clarence Thomas. If it was so damned bad, why did you stick around for so damned long?
It was all BS.

Lis Wiehl is a thief. She loved being harassed. Being a lawyer she was always planning to turn her stint at O’Reilly into a big payday. She is a lawyer so she plotted and bided her time. I’ll bet she kept a detailed diary of her interactions with him.

Seems that Bill O’Reilly works hard only to fork over his earnings to women who bring lawsuits. As far as I can tell, for all his “harassment” he never got as much as a blow job and definitely zero vaginal sex from all these “violated” women who got millions from him via lawsuits.

I can see getting 50 - 100 thousandth for sexual harassment but not millions.

Radaronline reported last January that John Ruddy was becoming an outcast in the news business. Not only is he Juliet’s brother, they are the children of John Ruddy, Sr, a consultant close to Roger Ailes. JR Sr was fired from Fox along with Ailes.

“”Ms. Huddy appeared on the Today show to discuss her settled sexual harassment allegations against former Fox News anchor, Bill O’Reilly, a story that has led to numerous accusations leveled by O’Reilly, Kelly’s husband and Fox News.””

What accusations did O’REILLY level and against who/whom?
And IF Kelly’s husband leveled accusations, same question! Why have we never heard of any of these?

“I never saw one of these golden-spoon ticks pull their own weight.”

I believe PDJT’s kids worked low-level construction jobs with tradesmen when they were younger, and more than pulled their own weight. However, that is the exception and not the rule, I believe.

Imagine what the employees at NBC had to go through working with her-highness Chelsea Clinton. She was paid $600,000 annually for doing nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Mygroin and her $15 million probably makes that seem like the good old days.

When kids turn out to be jerks and assholes, the parents are usually to blame. The reverse is also just as true.

That kind of money can’t be for talking dirty on the phone or trying to steal a kiss. Thirty two million is to induce her not to press charges AND file a massive law suit on what could even include rape.

Whatever it was it was serious and she had him nailed tight.

>> Just like John McCain and his admiral father and admiral grandfather <<

Maybe not the best set of examples? McCain the grandson is indeed a jerk. And Admiral McCain the grandfather was an alcoholic.

But I haven’t come across any bad info on Admiral McCain the father. Was he somehow spoiled by being the son of the grandfather?

>> Lis Wiehl . . . loved being harassed. <<

Yeah, I’ve kinda wondered about that. It seemed to me that she was more-or-less continuously flirting with the Big O when she was on his radio and TV shows — like some sort of game was going on. Even was a bit weird at times.

Rape????? You are dead wrong. I have seen no hint of this in Bill O’Reilly’s sexual harassment activities. From what is out there publicly.

The large multi-million dollar settlements paid out by Fox News and Bill O’ Reilly to women that O’Reilly harassed. These huge sums were paid out to avoid bad publicly over some of the pervey comments by Bill and phone sex in one case. Such publicity can lead to advertiser boycotts and can be a career killer.

In all I have read Bill never had physical contact with these women who made millions off him.

In my book whatever they had to endure from O’Reilly is worth $100,000 tops. Not millions to these lazy no-talent money grubbers.

Lis Wiehl ....she’s cute and I liked her personalty and interaction with Bill O’Reilly on TV. She had good commentary, was on his show for years as she suffered such dreadful sexual harassment that she got a multi million dollar payout via lawsuit.

Cha-CHING! Bill was not working for FoxNews. He actually waslaboring like a beaten mule for the women that sued him and got millions from him and FoxNews.

O’Reilly is not parting with 32 million of his own money for something trivial.

I believe Lis mentioned ‘non-consensual sex’ in the papers that were released. She had proof in order to get $32 million. Maybe she recorded O’Reilly, the way he assistant did.

The, ‘non-consensual sex’ was in the complaint. That is a way to imply something serious without describing what exactly happened. The 32 Million out of O’Reilly’s pocket makes the ‘serious’ a certainty.
