Fox News Channel reached a settlement last year with former on-air host Juliet Huddy, who complained of sexual harassment against the network’s biggest star, Bill O’Reilly, and co-president Jack Abernethy, TheWrap has learned.
The legal website LawNewz reported Monday that it obtained “a draft of the intent to sue letter which was sent or handed to Fox News” that named both men and accused them of sexual harassment.
Citing sources, LawNewz reported that “the amount paid out was in the high six figures” and O’Reilly and Abernethy will not pay anything out of their own pockets. The settlement was agreed upon several weeks ago but only unearthed by LawNewz on Monday.
