Bill O'Reilly is 'mad at God' over allegations of sexual harassment

Bill O’Reilly is mad at a lot of people, including God.

According to CNN, on his podcast “No Spin News,” the embattled former Fox News star said, "You know, am I mad at God? Yeah, I'm mad at him. I wish I had more protection. I wish this stuff didn't happen. I can't explain it to you. Yeah, I'm mad at him."

O’Reilly has been on the defensive after a new report from The New York Times claimed he reached a $32 million settlement with a former Fox News colleague over allegations of sexual misconduct.

O’Reilly saying of his adversaries, "If I die tomorrow and I get an opportunity, I'll say, 'Why'd you guys work me over like that? Didn't [you] know my children were going to be punished? And they're innocent.’”

O’Reilly was fired in April from Fox News after the Times revealed he made payments of at least $13 million dollars to five female accusers of inappropriate behavior. O’Reilly denies all claims saying those payments were made in part to protect his children.

O’Reilly says he plans to speak with Fox News newcomer Laura Ingraham in the coming days.
