[Peace-discuss] Is this justice? Bill O'Reilly's punishment

[Karen Aram]

Millions of dollars reward for sexually harassing, not one, but at least five women.


Bill O'Reilly will be paid tens of millions of dollars<http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/20/media/bill-oreilly-millions-payout/index.html> after his career at Fox News ended this week amid a cloud of harassment allegations.

"It is a staggering amount," said a source personally involved in the exit maneuverings.

21st Century Fox and O'Reilly's representatives will not acknowledge the existence of a payout. A confidentiality agreement limits what the two sides can say. However, two well-placed sources confirmed to CNNMoney that O’Reilly does have a parachute because he signed a new contract prior to his ouster.

The two sources, who spoke independently of one another, said the new contract was worth about $25 million per year.

An investigation by The New York Times found O’Reilly and Fox had reached settlements totaling $13 million with five women who had accused O’Reilly of sexual harassment or verbal abuse. Those allegations also led dozens of sponsors to remove their ads from “The O’Reilly Factor."
