Ms. Bloom said the woman, who is African-American, worked in a clerical position at the network but did not work directly for Mr. OReilly. The woman reported that in 2008, Mr. OReilly would stop by her desk and grunt like a wild boar; he would also stand back to allow her to exit the elevator first and then say, Looking good, girl, Ms. Bloom said. Mr. OReilly leered at the womans cleavage and legs and called her hot chocolate, Ms. Bloom said.

I mean, animal noises, infantilization, objectification, and racist comments? It's like he was giving her the full package and she still resisted his blandishments? Probably a lezbo, right Billo?
