Former NJ State Rep.: O'Reilly Harassed my Ex, Asked for Dirt Against Other Accusers

A former Democratic representative for the New Jersey State Assembly wrote a lengthy Facebook post on Tuesday, where he spoke of an ex-girlfriend who was victimized by Bill OReilly and pressured into silence by Fox News leadership.
Investment manager Michael Panter got on board with the #MeToo movement this week when he wrote about an unnamed ex-girlfriend who would vent to him about her frustrations with OReilly when she worked at Fox News. Panter wrote that OReilly would try secretly asking her out and would call her late at night, which would create tension and make her clearly uncomfortable.
I believe she later said in her suit that she believed he was masturbating, Panter said of the late night calls. Eventually, Panter described an instance of his ex-girlfriend (who signed a non-disclosure agreement) receiving calls from then Fox News co-president Bill Shine, Fox HR and OReilly in order to discuss a sensitive matter:
[OReilly] explained that a new accuser was suing him for sexual harassment. This latest victim was someone my ex knew, and lived in the same complex. He got to the point immediately: give me anything you have on this woman, which we can use against her.
He asked if anything was known about her sex life. He asked if she used any illegal drugs. He also asked if anything was known about her financial situation and marriage. In essence, the leadership of Fox, including their HR head/counsel and OReilly, who held my exs career in their hands (and whom OReilly was also harassing) was demanding information to attack another victim.
