Bill O'Reilly Reportedly Called A Black Woman 'Hot Chocolate' And It Might Get Him FIRED!
The hits just keep on coming.
Even more allegations have been brought against Fox News host Bill O’Reilly; this time, a black woman is claiming that the TV anchor would refer to her as “hot chocolate.”
According to the woman’s lawyer, "He would never talk to her, not even hello, except to grunt at her like a wild boar. He would leer at her. He would always do this when no one else was around and she was scared.”
"She’s not asking for any money," added the attorney. "She just wants them to know her story."
O’Reilly’s lawyer released a predictable statement that called this new accusation “outrageous,” pointing out that this alleged abuse occurred almost a decade ago and wondering why the woman wouldn’t have reported it at the time.
This claim is the latest in a seemingly never ending tide of workplace abuse stories about O’Reilly. It all started when high-profile host Megyn Kelly left the network amidst scandal, which prompted the firing of longtime boss Roger Ailes. Since then, several other women have shared their experiences with O’Reilly, which range from workplace arguments all the way to late night phone sex.
The gag is, O’Reilly is by far Fox News’ highest earning star. For a long time, none of this slander was doing anything to hurt his ratings, so there was little pressure (beside public opinion) to fire him. But as more and more stories have emerged, O’Reilly’s continued employment has caused advertisers to boycott and even spawned protests outside company headquarters.
As such, the Murdoch family–they own Fox, plus half the world– is reportedly considering axing O’Reilly. The host is currently on vacation, scheduled to return to air on April 24th.
But if the Murdochs turn on him, he may never return to his show. Should he be allowed to?
