Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox Inc. settled allegations that Fox News host Bill O’Reilly sexually harassed on-air personality Juliet Huddy, the New York Times reported.

In exchange for her silence and agreement not to sue the company, Huddy was paid a sum in the high six figures, the newspaper said, citing documents related to the matter as well as sources it didn’t identify.
