Bill O'Reilly walked out of an interview with PBS host Margaret Hoover after she questioned him about the $32 million sexual harassment settlement he paid to former Fox News legal analyst Lis Wiehl in 2017. The interview, intended to promote his book 'Confronting the Presidents,' became contentious when Hoover brought up the allegations, leading O'Reilly to accuse her of 'ambushing' him with tough questions. He claimed he would not comment on the matter, asserting that discussing it would be foolish, and ultimately warned Hoover of potential legal repercussions if the interview aired. Hoover expressed disappointment in O'Reilly's refusal to reflect on the impact of the settlements on the victims. O'Reilly's lawyer has since sent a legal demand to PBS regarding the interview footage. The exchange highlighted O'Reilly's ongoing struggle with his legacy amid serious allegations of misconduct.
