Bill O'Reilly is leaving the Fox News Channel, the network's parent company announced today. The star host has been dogged by misconduct
claims – some sexual in nature – since an April 1 story in The New York Times detailed
alleged settlements made between the host and five women who accused him of harassment and sexual misconduct.
ABC News has not been able to independently verify claims made in the Times story.After the Times investigation, O’Reilly wrote on his website that "like other prominent and controversial people," he is "vulnerable to lawsuits from individuals who want me to pay them to avoid negative publicity.”
O'Reilly also wrote that the time that he was "a father who cares deeply for my children and who would do anything to avoid hurting them in any way" and therefore he had to "put to rest any controversies to spare my children.”

One pundit piped in "This is why you should never even look at 3dpd".
Another retorted that "They'd allege you did it with them anyway.", referring to the story about a woman claiming that President Trump groped her on a plane... when it was found that he wasn't even on the same flight she took.
