A detailed #MeToo Facebook post about former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly had led to a $5 million lawsuit.
Michael Panter,?? ??? ?? ?? a former New Jersey state legislator, posted on Tuesday about his ex's experience while working at Fox News with host Bill O'Reilly. Not only was she a victim of O'Reilly's harassment, Panter alleges, but O'Reilly once asked her to give him dirt on another woman accusing him of inappropriate behavior.
SEE ALSO: Megyn Kelly explains why she's speaking out about Bill O'Reilly and Fox NewsO'Reilly responded Friday with a New York Supreme Court summons that sought $5 million in damages for the "publicly-available social media post."

In Panter's post, which is still up, he notes that he wanted to share the story because of the #MeToo movement, a hashtag victims of sexual harassment have been using to raise awareness following the dozens of allegations made against disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. He claims his ex, who is bound by a non-disclosure agreement, was pressured by O'Reilly to give up the information because the woman had filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against the Fox News staple.
"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," Panter wrote. See the full post, below:
The allegations in Panter's post come the same week that O'Reilly claimed he'd never had any coworkers file complaints against him. He spoke to the New York Timesafter the news outlet reported a new $32-million sexual harassment settlement.
UPDATE Oct. 27, 4:34 p.m. PT: In a statement Friday evening,Panter said he is considering a counter defamation suit against O'Reilly. In the post he wrote, "His actions give me a small sense of what victims must feel when speaking up against powerful men, and why more men hesitate to do so." Any money from the hypothetical suit would go toward sexual harassment and abuse groups, he wrote.
