Lisa Bloom, the attorney for a former Fox News guest holding a press conference Monday, ripped the networks handling of sexual harassment lawsuits against top-rated primetime host Bill OReilly and called for an independent investigation.

How many women have to come forward? Bloom, who has also served as an NBC News legal analyst, asked Sunday on CNNs Reliable Sources. How many millions of dollars have to get paid before Fox News takes sexual harassment seriously?

In my opinion, this network is the Bill Cosby of corporate America, she continued, in reference to the dozens of women who have accused the famous comedian of sexual assault. Women over and over again are driven out.

Blooms comments followed a bombshell New York Times investigation published Saturday that revealed payments of about $13 million to five women accusing the primetime star of sexual harassment, inappropriate behavior, or verbal abuse. One of the five suits, involving former producer Andrea Mackris, made headlines in 2004. Another suit, involving Fox News employee Juliet Huddy was only reported in January. The other three had not been previously reported.

A sixth woman, Dr. Wendy Walsh, told the Times that she rebuffed OReillys advances and he later didnt follow through on an offer to make her a network contributor. In a release, Bloom said Walsh will speak out at a press conference Monday in Los Angeles and they will reveal their new demands to the network.
