Former Fox News contributor Dr. Wendy Walsh accuses Bill O'Reilly of unwanted sexual advances

Source: New York Daily News

Fox News star Bill O'Reilly arrogantly assumed sex was on the menu after a hotel dinner with Dr. Wendy Walsh in 2013 — and he turned instantly hostile when it was not, she claimed at a press conference Monday.

The psychologist gave a detailed account of the alleged incident to reporters in Los Angeles after it surfaced in the New York Times over the weekend.

Walsh's lawyer Lisa Bloom said it fit a "pattern" of sexual harassment at O'Reilly's Manhattan-based network and called on the New York State Division of Human Rights and the New York City Human Rights Commission to investigate.

Walsh said she was "terrified" to step forward with her claims but wanted to set a good example for her two daughters, including one who was recently accepted at Harvard.

Seriously, I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, he really has to have a high opinion of himself and a low opinion of women.

I know everyone has physical needs - but man, he really needs to invest in a fleshlight.

But Billo is starting to bleed sponsors. And I wonder how long Fox and company will tolerate the money loss.

He's financially secure. He's famous.

There are probably women that believe in his 'values'.

Why does he keep having sexual harassment accusations?

There is something seriously wrong with BillO.

and his wife was 30 at the time. My guess is that he's always been creepy around women.

Most men in O'Reilly's demographic (conservative, Catholic, successful) marry before their mid 40s.

Chill out. I'm 60 and never married. Never found the right guy at the right time.

Bill Cosby was rich and famous, too, but he liked the whole power trip of assaulting women when they were unconscious. He even did it to a woman who was willing to sleep with him and had done so on many occasions.

O'Reilly doesn't want to spend the time or effort actually courting a woman. He just wants to dominate her and pressure her into complying with his demands.
