Meanwhile, O'Reilly continues denying sexual harassment allegations
In a separate interview, O'Reilly has hit back at former-Fox News presenter Megyn Kelly's comments on sexual harassment at Fox News. Kelly had rejected O'Reilly's claims that nobody at the channel complained about his "false behavior and said that she had e-mailed the company's top executives." "I don't know why she's doing what she's doing. I've helped her dramatically in her career." he stated.
