The Discovery Channel distanced itself after a show that aired on the network, which featured disgraced former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, after experiencing backlash.

The former Fox anchor, who was forced to leave the network after multiple women accused him of sexual harassment in 2017, appeared on Pet Tales with Greta, a new show that’s hosted by fellow former Fox host Greta Van Susteren.

The episode where she interviewed O’Reilly aired on the network Saturday morning.
