Ham: My Relation with O’Reilly Was Frustrating’; He Was ‘Often Paternalistic’

HAM: "I sat across from Bill. It was mostly in D.C., which I think is an important distinction. The environment was different in D.C. than New York. I worked with Bill for almost ten years weekly and nothing bordering on sexually inappropriate with him. Our relationship was frustrating. He was often paternalistic. Sometimes it was a fine relationship. You can see that I worked it out mostly on camera by yelling at him, maybe once every month or six weeks. I know other ladies did that as well. That was sort of the extent of it. But I do think that one of the problems with doing business the way that it was done is that even though I did not experience it and frankly didn’t see it and I assure you I would not had been quiet had I, is that every woman who walks through those doors has questions hanging over her head and odd interactions she has to have about this and people wondering about you. None of us deserve it. Victimized or not, none of us deserve that part of it either.”
