"Bill can't even rely on being FOX's biggest draw," a network insider told The ENQUIRER, "now that Tucker Carlson is doubling the numbers of Megyn Kelly at her old time slot. The executives love the idea of hiring new faces that are scandal-free, and Tucker's proving they can bring in the ratings." O'Reilly, meanwhile, keeps facing more humiliating allegations from angry coworkers!

Wendy Walsh — an occasional guest on The “O’Reilly Factor” — went public on April 4 with her own charges of sexual harassment, saying O'Reilly "became hostile" when she declined an invitation to join him in his hotel room after a dinner shortly after she joined the show. She added that O'Reilly told her: "You’re on your own!" At the same time that Walsh went public, a report exposed that O'Reilly and FOX News had shelled out a total of $13 million to five female employees to cover up claims against O'Reilly.

In January 2017, a FOX insider told The ENQUIRER that an O'Reilly lawsuit involving Juliet Huddy might already be "the last straw" for the scandal-plagued network. The ENQUIRER had reported that the former FOX reporter had received a secret "six figure" settlement in 2016 — claiming she'd been exiled to a local news slot after being "taken aback and repulsed" when O'Reilly tried to seduce her at his home in Long Island.
