Bill O'Reilly

Bill O'Reilly appears in the book as part of its wider account of how sexual-harassment allegations were reported and addressed. The evidence associates him with a story about settlements and his departure, while also connecting that reporting to the book’s documentation of a broader pattern of behavior.

Identity and Introduction

O'Reilly is identified in the book’s index across a broad span of pages, including 17, 23–25, 30, 34–35, 44, 50–53, 57, 59, 76, 139, and 206. That range signals recurring reference rather than a single isolated mention, although the available evidence does not establish the substance of every passage.

The Settlements Story

The book specifically associates O'Reilly with a story about settlements and his departure. It places that story at pages 23–25 and returns to the connection at page 139. In the book’s wider reporting history, the story is identified as an investigation by The New York Times into settlement payments and O'Reilly’s departure; the available evidence here does not provide further particulars about the payments or the circumstances of his exit.

Place in the Book’s Wider Account

The index also links O'Reilly to the book’s documentation of a pattern of behavior, citing pages 3, 37, 57, 73, 139, and 176. Read together, these references position the O'Reilly reporting alongside a larger examination of harassment stories and the systems surrounding them. The evidence supports that connection, but does not establish a personal relationship between O'Reilly and the women at the later gathering described in the book.
