In an interview with KFAQ radio, Tulsa, Schlussel was asked if she had ever been s*xually harassed Bill O'Reilly at Fox News, and she said.
Only by Sean Hannity, not Bill O'Reilly,".
She further explained that ten years before the interview, the TV host made a pass at her at a book signing event. She also said that after the event, Hannity tried to get her to go to come to his hotel room with him.
She further claimed that her refusal to go to the famous host's hotel room led to her being blacklisted on Fox News.
