OCTOBER 13--This is the letter sent last month to Fox Television executives informing them that a female colleague of Bill O'Reilly was contemplating a bombshell sexual harassment lawsuit against the talk show host. The letter from New York lawyer Benedict Morelli--which does not identify O'Reilly or accuser Andrea Mackris by name--alleges that the "O'Reilly Factor" host subjected her to "constant and relentless" harassment, which included calls to the woman's home and "constant...innuendo."

In a preemptive strike, O'Reilly today filed a lawsuit against Morelli and Backris, claiming that they were trying to extort $60 million in hush money from him in return for quashing their proposed harassment complaint.
