In Panter's post, which is still up, he notes that he wanted to share the story because of the #MeToo movement, a hashtag victims of sexual harassment have been using to raise awareness following the dozens of allegations made against disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. He claims his ex, who is bound by a non-disclosure agreement, was pressured by O'Reilly to give up the information because the woman had filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the Fox News staple.
"He asked if anything was known about her sex life. He asked if she used any illegal drugs. He also asked if anything was known about her financial situation and marriage," Panter wrote. See the full post, below:
The allegations in Panter's post come the same week that O'Reilly claimed he'd never had any coworkers file complaints against him. He spoke to the New York Timesafter the news outlet reported a new $32-million sexual harassment settlement.
UPDATE Oct. 27, 4:34 p.m. PT: In a statement Friday evening,Panter said he is considering a counter defamation suit against O'Reilly.
