The Book Tour is On...!! Yes... (Batteries Not included.....) O'Reilly Harassment Case Settled Out of Court NEW YORK (Reuters) - Fox News Channel commentator Bill O'Reilly and a co-worker who had accused him of sexual harassment have agreed to settle and dropped all allegations against each other, lawyers for Fox said on Thursday. Andrea Mackris, an associate producer for "The O'Reilly Factor," had sued the talk show host earlier this month, claiming he had repeatedly pressured her to engage in sexually explicit conversations over the phone, talking about vibrators, masturbation and pleasuring himself at times as he spoke. Anticipating the complaint, O'Reilly already filed his own suit earlier the same day, accusing Mackris and her lawyer, Benedict Morelli, of trying to extort $60 million in "hush money" from him by threatening to go public with false allegations of sexual harassment. In a statement on Thursday, legal firm Becker & Green said all parties had agreed to settle. "All cases and claims have been withdrawn and all parties have agreed that there was no wrongdoing whatsoever by Mr. O'Reilly, Ms. Mackris, or Ms. Mackris' counsel," the statement said. It said O'Reilly's allegation of extortion was withdrawn, but all details of the settlement would remain private.
