After being a fixture on the right-wing news conglomerate for roughly two decades, Bill O'Reilly was let go amid sexual misconduct allegations. O'Reilly has since claimed innocence and vehemently denied all allegations. On Wednesday during a few press appearances, O'Reilly took the opportunity to reiterate his denial of the sexual assault allegations as well as let everyone know of his effective mentorship of female colleagues. O'Reilly's claim was reinforced by radio host and a new addition to the FOX News primetime lineup Laura Ingraham who told O'Reilly:
“I learned a lot from you on television, what works and when I didn’t do such a great job [...] You were a really good mentor to me, Bill, and I’ll forever be grateful for you, you know that."
O'Reilly responded by stating, “I think that 95 percent of the women at FOX News would tell you the same thing." However, the allegations against O'Reilly from a number of women would seem to undermine his claim. O'Reilly was let go from the FOX News network after numerous women cited him for sexual misconduct. The right-wing pundit is just one of many male FOX News employees to be let go after sexual harassment/misconduct allegations came to light.
