On Monday, Megyn Kelly addressed Bill O’Reilly’s controversial $32 million sexual harassment settlement.
“O’Reilly’s suggestion that no one ever complained about his behavior is false,” Kelly said on her show. “I know because I complained.”

She actually sent an email to the co-presidents of Fox News, complaining about Bill O’Reilly’s behavior toward women…LAST YEAR.
Gretchen Carlson also went after her former colleague on Twitter.
Nobody pays $32m for false allegations – nobody https://t.co/qB3njcHHuy

You get it. They say the allegations are true. He adamantly denies them.
I tend to believe the ladies over O’Reilly. Plus, a $32 million settlement is a LOT of money.
But here’s something weird. After Megyn’s morning spiel, O’Reilly released three letters– two from Kelly and one from Carlson. Check ’em out:
Dear Bill:
What a class act you are, coming to my baby shower. I was truly touched – I know how busy you are, especially that time of day. It meant a lot to me + Doug. And thank you for the darling bodysuits + snuggly – it’s hard to believe will soon have a little human being in our lives tiny enough to fit in the,
You’ve become a dear friend (no matter what you say) + I am grateful to have you in my life.
-Megyn & Doug
Bill –
Thanks for the plug on Doug’s book. I realize you didn’t have to do that, especially after mentioning it already.
I appreciate how supportive you have been of me over the years here @ FNC.
You are a true friend + mentor.
XOXO
Megyn
Bill –
Thank you for being the calm in the sea.
Thank you so much for supporting me.
Thank you for being my friend.
It means the world to me

“What a class act you are…” “I appreciate how supportive you have been of me.” “You’ve become a dear friend…” “XOXO.” “Thank you for being the calm in the sea.” “Thank you for being my friend.”
Those don’t sound like words I would send to someone who I knew to be a serial sexual harasser.
Did they not know at the time? Were they “playing the game.” What’s the deal? It doesn’t make sense.
You know how a lot of Hollywood actresses KNEW about Weinstein’s pervy behavior but are just speaking out about it now? This feels like the Fox News version of that.
