“Settlement agreements between Bill O’Reilly and two of his accusers – made public for the first time on Wednesday – filled in previously unknown details about tactics employed by the former Fox News host to silence women who came forward with sexual harassment allegations against him,” the New York Times reports.
“The documents show that two women who reached settlements, Andrea Mackris and Rebecca Gomez Diamond, were required to turn over all evidence, including audio recordings and diaries, to Mr. O’Reilly. In addition, Ms. Mackris was required to disclaim the materials ‘as counterfeit and forgeries’ if they ever became public.”

Hi, visiting journalists! Welcome to Memphis. A few things. 1. Don’t eat tourist barbecue.
2. You may encounter folks who will insist this city has come so far since ’68.
Ask them for proof. Like data, not their feels. Anecdotes aren’t evidence. #MLK50 @MLK50Memphis
