  • Accosted by the O'Reilly Factor

    On the afternoon of March 21, 2009, Terkel was accosted by Jesse Watters in Winchester, Virginia, where she was on vacation. Watters approached her and told her he was from Fox News—although not mentioning that he worked for Bill O'Reilly—and demanded to know why she was causing "pain and suffering" to the Alexa Foundation and rape survivors.Center for American Progress: I Was Followed, Harassed, And Ambushed By Bill O'Reilly's Producer (March 23, 2009)

    Terkel believes that the ambush occurred because she had expressed surprise at O'Reilly's planned appearance at the Alexa Foundation, a rape victim advocacy group, after he had commented that 18-year-old rape and murder victim Jennifer Moore would still be alive had she not been walking the streets late at night and drunk.Center for American Progress: I Was Followed, Harassed, And Ambushed By Bill O'Reilly's Producer (March 23, 2009)

    The video tape made by O'Reilly's producer was aired on March 23, 2009. O'Reilly introduced the video calling Terkel a "villaiin".
