Bill O’Reilly is attempting to once again silence Andrea Mackris, the former producer who in 2004 settled a sexual-harassment lawsuit with the then-Fox News star and earlier this month told her story in vivid detail to The Daily Beast.

Mackris was scheduled to appear Wednesday morning on ABC’s daytime talk show The View, but on Tuesday evening O’Reilly was granted a temporary restraining order against his ex-staffer, effectively canceling her TV hit in the process.

“We were notified late yesterday about a temporary restraining order issued by a court against Andrea Mackris. We decided to postpone her interview pending further developments,” an ABC spokesperson said in a statement to The Daily Beast. “We look forward to welcoming her to The View at a later date.”

Upon learning that Mackris was set to appear on The View, O’Reilly’s attorneys petitioned the New York State Supreme Court in Nassau County for a restraining order because, they argued, “Mackris intends to further materially breach her legal obligations tomorrow morning, live on national television.” Her going public with the details of O’Reilly’s alleged conduct has caused “significant irreparable harm” to the former Fox News star, the lawyers further argued. The order was granted on Tuesday evening. O’Reilly did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

1. WOW, straight to the State Supreme Court

Bill O'Reilly is a bitter old pervert.

3. The Supreme Court in New York State is the trial court. There is also an appellate division of that

court. What one would ordinarily think of as the Supreme Court is the Court of Appeals in New York state.

2. If someone pays me $9 million to shut my mouth,

then I shut my mouth.

4. What happens if the pain over what that person did to you is too great for you

to forget? What if you get word or suspect that the person who paid you is doing the same to another person?

Money doesn’t solve problems of itself, it also doesn’t absolve one of responsibility.

5. I return the settlement money.
