In view of the stakes involved, O’Reilly’s camp is vigorously contesting Walsh’s allegation, in an unusually public way. During several of her appearances, which focused on relationships and behaviorial issues, O’Reilly plugged Walsh’s book, “The 30-Day Love Detox,” a valuable bit of promotion, given O’Reilly’s large audience. But Lisa Bloom, Walsh’s attorney, said Walsh continued to go on O’Reilly’s program because she hoped to become a paid contributor to Fox News. O’Reilly, she said, has “a history of attacking women who complain about his sexual harassment.”As for O’Reilly’s help in promoting Walsh’s book, Bloom said, “Life is not black or white. “But she knew that we can never change the epidemic of sexual harassment unless we speak out.”O’Reilly has never admitted to sexual harassment.
