Former Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly paid $32 million to settle a sexual harassment claim.

According to the New York Times,  O’Reilly made the settlement to Lis Wiehl, a longtime contributor to his program, who alleged that O’Reilly forced her into a nonconsensual sexual relationship and sent her sexually explicit material.

The settlement was made in January of this year, according to the report, just before O’Reilly signed a new four-year contract that would pay him $25 million annually to continue as host of his top-rated prime-time program “The O’Reilly Factor.
