Bill O’Reilly Says Beyonce Having a Baby With Jay-Z Helps Encourage Black Teen Pregnancy [WATCH]
Fox News host Bill O' Reilly is back at it again. This time he's throwing criticism towards what he describes as Beyoncé's negative influence on young women.
Here we go again.
The 64-year-old "The O'Reilly Factor" host has never been one to hold his tongue when it comes to expressing his usually controversial opinions. For example, according to Fuse TV, he once implied a woman was to blame for being raped and murdered because of what she wore and recently asked someone, "There's got to be some downside to having a woman president, right?"
Back in March of this year, O' Reilly slammed Beyoncé's "Partition" video during an interview with Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons, claiming that the video promotes unwanted pregnancy.
"She [Beyoncé] puts out a new album with a video that glorifies having sex in the back of a limousine. Teenage girls look up to Beyonce, particularly girls of color ... why on earth would this woman do that when she knows the devastation of unwanted pregnancy?" the political commentator said.

So it comes as no surprise now that O' Reilly is back at the "XO" singer yet again since she was recently named one of Time magazine's most influential people. In the issue, Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook, describes Beyoncé as the pioneer for women to be independent and lead. O' Reilly, however, called that description a "load of nonsense."
"Children unsupervised are doing things that are harmful to them," O'Reilly said on the set of his show. "Beyoncé is part of that problem."
He continued, "She knows, this woman knows that young girls getting pregnant in the African-American community now is about 70 percent out of wedlock. She knows and doesn't seem to care ... That's my problem with her."
It's worth noting that Beyoncé had her daughter, Blue Ivy, after marrying her husband Jay-Z.
