(antiTainment) Fox News Channel host Bill
O'Reilly and the female producer that accused him of sexual harassment
reached an out of court settlement on Thursday. Part of the settlement
stipulates that there was no wrongdoing by either party.
There are no details about the monetary
value of the settlement, if any. Andrea Mackris, a producer for the "O'Reilly
Factor," sued O'Reilly seeking $60 million in damages. O'Reilly and
Fox News fired back with a lawsuit accusing Mackris and her attorney, Benedict
Morelli, of extortion.
Shortly after the settlement was reached,
O'Reilly's attorney, Ronald Green, issued the following statement, "The
parties regret that this matter has caused tremendous pain, and they have
agreed to settle. All cases and claims have been withdrawn and all parties
have agreed that there was no wrongdoing whatsoever by Mr. O'Reilly, Ms.
Mackris, or Ms. Mackris' counsel, Benedict P. Morelli & Associates.''
