Former Fox News anchor sues Bill O’Reilly, alleging defamation

Laurie Dhue, who worked for the cable news network from 2000 to 2008, was one of five women whom the New York Times reported to have received settlements related to O’Reilly’s actions and behavior at the company in an April 2017 article.

In the lawsuit, which she filed in federal district court in Manhattan, Dhue points to a series of public statements O’Reilly made after the Times article ran, saying the accusations were false and made maliciously.

According to the complaint, O’Reilly stated in April 2017 that he parted ways with Fox due to “unfounded claims.” In June, he blamed the allegations against him on “far-left progressive organizations that are bent on destroying anybody with whom they disagree.” In October, he said that he “didn’t do anything wrong.” He also said that he had never had any complaints filed against him in more than 40 years of work.
