Executives at Fox News reportedly fear what is to come after it was announced on Wednesday that host Bill O'Reilly would not return to the network in the wake of sexual harassment allegations.
"There's more to come," a Fox News insider told Vanity Fair.
The comments appear to suggest there may be more women who have not yet come forward publicly with stories of harassment.
CNN “New Day” host Alisyn Camerota also said early Thursday that there is “more to come” at Fox News, where she worked for 16 years.
“I know a lot about the culture, and my friends there, there is a feeling that … there is actually more to come, that this isn’t the end.”
21st Century Fox announced Wednesday that O'Reilly would not be returning to the network "after a thorough and careful review of the allegations."

O'Reilly's show lost about 90 advertisers after The New York Times reported earlier this month that five women were paid $13 million to settle sexual harassment suits. A lawyer for O'Reilly said Monday the host bad been subject to a "smear campaign" by far-left groups.
In a statement Wednesday, O'Reilly called it "tremendously disheartening" to be parting ways with the network over "completely unfounded claims."
"But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today," he said in the statement.
Vanity Fair reported the newsroom reactions to O'Reilly's departure were mixed.
Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch sent an internal memo Wednesday emphasizing the company's commitment to "fostering a work environment built on the values of trust and respect."

Shepherd Smith 24/7.
With good reason.
Fox News wants to go far left..they want the network to have a bunch of Shepard Smith’s they actually think that is good for the network..just wait, some woman will come forward and say that Sean Hannity touched her boob you know its coming
They never hesitated to have Bill Clinton or Ted Kennedy on camera.
That means that there is a tape that exists that is not at the current moment controlled by either Fox News or Bill O’Reilly.
That makes the tape somewhat valuable to Fox News and very valuable to O’Reilly.
That means that O’Reilly will have to write a very big check to obtain control of that tape.
The Left is just getting started. Hannity is next.
All they have to do now is bribe some young female to make the claim. No proof necessary. The accusation is all that’s needed.....................
If Murdoch’s sons want to make FOX News into another MSLSD, I’ll simply watch Law and Order SVU re-runs over breakfast instead.
I will bet anything, they have a gay show on and Shep will host it but it will be one of those later in the evening shows.
Seems that FAUX is like the play: “Best little whorehouse in Texas” ???
This entire discussion is based on somebody's feelings.
Maybe BOR, Hannity, Rush and others can bail out Beck and buy out/buy rights to (but rename) his Blaze channel. Then buy OANN for some sort of a sister station.
“All they have to do now is bribe some young female to make the claim. No proof necessary. “
If there was not ‘proof,’ O’Reilly would still be working at Fox News.
Fox would not have fired him and paid him out if there were only allegations.
His ex-wife was the Fox News Washington, DC bureau chief until she left because of marital squabbling.
Then there rumors that Hume was having an affair with Megyn Kelly, and since then he and his wife have divorced.

“Then there rumors that Hume was having an affair with Megan Kelly...”
That’s Humiliating!
They should just fire all the bimbos and hire no one but plain, middle-aged women to read the teleprompters. That might solve the problem.
I’d volunteer, but no one would watch.
Remind me to set my DVR.
Glenn Beck doesn’t need to be bailed out, and I don’t think he wants to sell his network.
