O'Reilly Settles Sexual Harassment Lawsuit

This matter has caused enormous pain, but I had to protect my family, and I did," O'Reilly, whose ratings have gone up 30 percent since the lawsuits were filed, told his viewers Thursday. "All I can say to you is please do not believe everything you hear and read."

Shortly before "Factor" aired, O'Reilly's lawyer, Ronald Green, issued a statement saying the cases and claims had been withdrawn and all parties agreed there was no wrongdoing by O'Reilly, Mackris or Mackris' lawyer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Well if theres no wrongdoing, why are you setteling?? That lame excuse didnt work for Micheal Jackson and countless others who suffered from O'rielys moral browbeatings.

These guys always have skeletons in the closet. I can only imagine what perverted secrets Hannity is hiding!
 
At least O'Reilly can now include himself as one of the reasons that society is in a morale decline.

I love these "In exchange for an undisclosed sum we agreed I did not do it and I promise to never do it again" deals. Like they fool anyone except for certain lawyers with a poor sense of reality...
 
I always thought it was a shakedown. Of cousre Bill is supposed to be Mr. Morals who would fight such a thing. Guess the tidbits on what a perv and Franken-phobe he is were just too juciy to let out to the public.


Will he call for a boycott of himself and those terrible Factor trinkets he hocks.

What are the odds that hell do a hard hitting interview with anyone?? Come on Bill face the public.
 
Try not to read too much into these types of things. I used to feel the same way, until I was in a position where I had to go to court myself (a small dispute with a former landlord). Well, I didn't settle (mostly because I was curious what a trial was like), but in the end it was so much time and energy wasted that I'd probably decide differently now.

And that was just over a few hundred bucks. Imagine if it's tens of thousands of dollars and you're on parade for the entire country to see, not to mention the potential damage to your career if you lose, or the difficulty for your family even if you win.

I'm no fan of O'Reilly's, but I don't think the fact that he settled tells us anything about his guilt or innocence.

He never did deny the allegations. I agree wh what you say, except in this case we have a guy whos livelyhood depends heavily on his reputation. You think he would try to protect that at almost any $$ cost.............If he was innocent.

Except that all kinds of details would come out at the trial. Even if he didn't do it, it's just going to be more material that's out to the public. With the media coverage of his trial, I'd say his reputation, such as it is, would be in bad shape no matter what the judge/jury decided.

Like I said, I'm no fan of his, and it wouldn't surprise me if he did do what he's accused of. In fact, I consider it likely. I just don't think the fact that he settled necessarily has anything to do with that.

Bill O'Lielly has deep pockets. I'm sure he paid at least $5 million. This should go into the Guinness record book as the most expensive phone sex to date.

I believe O'Reilly is a perv, but also that this was a shakedown. Mostly because it's more fun that way.
 
Define "shakedown". Is it extortion if the defendant is guilty?

Think about it. If he was innocent, he would have gone to trial. Since she apparently had tapes PROVING that he was a vibratorial taco-tickling perv, he settled.

I would have liked to ask him if phone sex is OK by the Pope (O'Reilly is catholic). I can't quite figure out if it qualifies as a form of contraception.
 
Amazing

After reading through this thread all I can say is that not one of you has any evidence what-so-ever to back up your comments or assertions.

And that speaks volumes from those that would hold feet to the fire of others making such baseless claims. Sounds like a good time for "Do as I say, not as I do".

Just how do you know the settlement isn't for Bill not to ever mention this person's lying behavior on television?? Or that both parties are simply under legal orders to never release detailed information that could be more damning to her than him??

You don't. Who knows for sure that money is involved??

Hey, but why should I stop all your fun, go right ahead and keep on making all these claims from no information.

Does anyone recall how it was once determined that dinosaurs lived on Venus because nothing of its surface could be seen?

Lighten up. O'Reilly is fair game and makes himself that way deliberately, laughing all the way to the bank. Besides, he wouldn't hesitate to make snide allegations about any one of us or any of us as a group we identify with, if it suits his macho patter. As much as I sometimes like listening to him, the pious SOB has insulted my principles on many occassions, while sucking up to his truest fans.

Oh, I'm not so mad as I am somewhat disappointed. Have you read all of the above -- do they sound Fair & Balanced? Some of the comments ... well, you can read, I'm sure.

As for him insulting my principles -- sure he has. He has also made me aware of things I might not have known about otherwise. Overall he's just another one of many media entertainers (and make no mistake -- most are entertainers); and too many have agendas that become all too obvious (wink wink nod nod). I just think that too many here are disappointed that nothing much came of it and are simply venting their frustration -- like my 20 month old daughter does at times. ;)
 
Just: Read the Smoking Gun stuff, then read the first chapter of the book "Those Who Trespass", a novel by O'Reilly. He is predisposed to that type of behavior.

He is also a hypocrite. Look at his take on R. Kelly:

O'REILLY: All right. Well, let's cede that it is a role model organization. I believe I'm a role model for some people. I'm not going to hang around with somebody who's going to have to stand trial on child pornography, sir. Because although you're right, you're innocent until proven guilty...

CLYBURN: That's true.

O'REILLY: ... you are judged on your associations. I want to see that adjudicated before I let that person in my living room, sir.

The situation is like this: in the state of New York, it is illegal to tape a conversation with someone without their consent. Thus, the likely story is that O'Reilly did in fact say all the vibrator taco-tickling stuff the woman said he did, but the tape was illegal. O'Reilly still faced the possibility that the tape could get out, so he agreed to pay her, but not $60 million. Her juicy tape was illegal, and while Fox could do nothing about Bill they COULD pressure prosecutors to charge her with illegal taping, so she took the money. O'Reilly probably agreed never to have any contact with her outside work and will watch himself, while the woman probably gave him the tape(s).

That's what I think.
