WATCH: “This was a hit job. A political and financial hit job.” @billoreilly’s full interview with @MLauer https://t.co/btlpOQFXzR

Since getting fired from Fox News due to multiple allegations of sexual harassment from women, Bill has kinda-sorta stayed silent — until now.

He recently appeared on Today, six months after the incident, saying: “In 42 years, I’ve been in this business. I worked with 12 companies. Not one time did I have any interaction with HR, any complaints filed against me.”

The New York Times reported in April that five women were paid a total of $13 million by Fox News for agreeing to not file lawsuits or speak publicly about the harassment. Bill has no knowledge of the settlements.

“I don’t know because I’m not privy to what Fox News did,” he explained. “After [former Fox News Chairman] Roger Ailes went down, there was a flood of lawsuits — a flood — with dozens of people named. And the company did what the company did.”

Bill continued, “Every company in this country — including this one, Comcast — has these lawsuits. Some of there are valid, some of them are not. They settle them for a number of reasons. As an employee, I don’t really have any say in that matter.”
