The crisis for Fox News has escalated in recent days because the law firm Paul Weiss is investigating the claim that O'Reilly reneged on offering a paid contributor's job to Wendy Walsh, a frequent guest on his program, after she spurned his advances at a dinner meeting in 2013. Walsh does not have a legal claim against O'Reilly due to the statute of limitations on harassment cases in New York and California, but she did report the matter to the human resources hotline of the company last week.
