Source: Raw Story quoting additional source Gawker

A source said Maureen McPhilmy, who was recently awarded custody of the couple’s two children, testified during a New York family court hearing that O’Reilly attacked her at their Manhasset home, reported Gawker.

The source said a forensic examiner testified that O’Reilly’s 16-year-old daughter claimed she saw her father drag her mother down a staircase by the neck, unaware the girl was watching.

McPhilmy began dating a Nassau County police detective after the separation, and Gawker reported that O’Reilly called in a favor after raising money for the department and got an internal affairs investigation launched against the new boyfriend.

O’Reilly tried to have his former wife excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church in 2013, according to another Gawker report.

In the Governor Siegelman case, the Alabama activists kept after the obvious wayward Judge Fuller = who was finally compelled to step down from the bench, for his assault upon his wife.

Will Fox News continue to protect their number jewel, even after this disgrace?

Here's the Gawker story (with a much more apropos story title IMO) - that

"Bill O’Reilly Accused of Domestic Violence in Custody Battle"

This picture immediately above, is from the Gawker and this (link here) pertains to the issue of O'Reilly seeking revenge against the police officer who dated O'Reilly's ex.

Can we blame her for dating an authority figure with some hopes of power against Bill?

just sayin.....

It is worth putting up this Keith Olbermann piece (don't you just love his initials K.O. v O'Reilly - so apropos) - that was provided in the comment section by DU'r "spooky3" referencing a thread on Olbermann by DU'r "Fred Sanders" via The Grumpy Pundit video below.

K.O. knocks out O'Reilly for his bull Chit - starting at time stamp 2:39

[br][hr][br]
[center][font size=6 color=burnt]UPDATE - Sort of (retroactively)[/font][/center]

Turns out that Fox News that is always willing to Abuse (a neat little quip from a commenter below) - has other O'Reilly bad faith issues it would like you to forget about. Including sexual harassment of a former Fox Producer.

It seemed to lengthy to add to this LBN thread (let me know if the consensus is otherwise - please). So I posted a General Discussion piece that has some apparent proof of deviant behavior of O'Reilly. If, but for no other reason, you have to view the thread's ending Youtube video, where Conan O'Brien feigns he was sexually harassed by a Bill O'Buser phone call.

This is the link and thread title.

1. Holy crap

[Bill USA]

51. He's lost it!

[laserhaas]

69. When you have great money and power, while spewing B.S. - you believe you are invincible

and - as a result of such hubris - any oligarch can do real stupid things.

(Like not just giving this woman her 1/2 - with a non-disclosure agreement).

Arsehole deserves what he gets

[Bill USA]

108. agreed.

[hrmjustin]

2. K&R!

[Augiedog]

3. Is anybody really surprised ?

[underpants]

53. Shocked! I almost falafel my chair

[Rhiannon12866]

75. ...

[eShirl]

107. .

[randys1]

54. I am not, it is a certainty that he is a Woman beating piece of shit, we had to all know

that for a while now.

I have assumed for many years that he is one of those men who attack Women when he can get away with it, treats underlings and employees and wait staff etc like shit.

He is a rightwinger, they are mostly all like this to one extent or another.

[chillfactor]

4. doesn't surprise me a bit...

we all know what a miserable excuse O'Reilly is for a human being....he is more like an animal....

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

5. The dude is a mean SOB.

But, at least "he's looking out for us"!!


FUCK IT! WE'LL DO IT LIVE!! FUCKING THING SUCKS!!!

[laserhaas]

8. Elmer, I don't know who should be spanked more ... You for this sarcasm

or me - for laughing so hard.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

11. Billo needs much more than a spanking! Electric leads come to mind.

Attached directly to his emaciated misshapen member.

[AngryDem001]

6. Oh, Billo.

You lying, misogynist sack of shit.

[arcane1]

7. That would imply Bill-o is a jealous asshole with a bad temper and inflated sense of entitlement

That simply cannot BE!

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

10. Worst case of WHITE PRIVILEGE I've ever seen!

[laserhaas]

22. yuP - if they do nothing about it (at least 6 months time out)

Fox is then supporting the reprehensible behavior.

OOPs - I'm sorry - we're talking about Faux, not responsible, entertainment news stations.

They are always reprehensible.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

31. Well, I think he's one of their big money makers - ergo, nothing will happen.

[laserhaas]

36. Sucks the whammy

fir sure

[JustAnotherGen]

9. I never knew he was married

Never knew he had kids -

And I wonder how it feels to have THAT as your father? Yikes!

[laserhaas]

18. I think we Dem's would give the kid(s) their own radio/TV show -

and should do so.

For in being a Liberal, they would be cast out of the will.

Such sacrifice would immortalize them.

[JustAnotherGen]

23. You are funny! Thanks for this!

[Liberalynn]

85. If he were my father

I'd change my name and ask for the witness protection program!

[Coventina]

12. Bully at work, bully at home.

[Warpy]

33. Typical beefy, choleric Irish thug, I grew up around them

There was always a tacit agreement that the wife would take whatever he dished out, but the kids were off limits.

That she finally left him suggests he didn't respect the agreement.

I wish this would bite him in the ass, hard, but I know he's still useful to the oligarchy so I doubt it will, not this time.

[Cleita]

102. Although my husband was Irish and a very nice fellow, I know

what you are saying as I was exposed to that type through my husband's acquaintances. I think John Boehner fits one of the molds too. I don't know if he's abusive too but Bob Ney exposes him as a drunk and womanizer in his book, "Sideswiped".

[laserhaas]

104. People that are full of manure, are just unhappy and tend to lash out.

All my life, I've been one who works against bullies (funny, being I wasn't really ever a big guy - until later years). It just sucks the whammy how many don't care of the harm their anger does to others.

[stonecutter357]

13. K&R!

[spooky3]

14. Calling Keith Olbermann!

No one can do a better job than he can at getting the word out about Billo.

[laserhaas]

15. AMEN! - Come on K.O. (such an apropos name)

We need you to drive a stake through the vampire squid protecting stone cold heart.

[redstatebluegirl]

16. Lord I miss Keith!!!!

[spooky3]

19. someone posted a Billo rant that Keith did, here on DU recently -- hope you saw it!

[redstatebluegirl]

24. I did! I saved it to my computer so I can watch it from t ime to time.

[laserhaas]

25. NOpe--- have had 2 friends very ill, for a while now.

Plus even worse events on family.

Please post the link if you can (or a video I can add up top)

[spooky3]

50. Here it is--not as recent as I thought (Feb. 2015) but still worth watching:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017246697

[laserhaas]

64. Thanks - posted it up top and Tweeted K.O. asking for his efforts

(as if he really needs prompting - but who knows)

[spooky3]

74. I hope it works! Thanks.

[laserhaas]

20. Have you noticed how the true fact tellers - always get moved OFF main stream

leaving U.S. only with lame streams.

[Mike Nelson]

17. Hot surprised...

...he is a cruel man.

[herding cats]

21. Fox News declined to comment on the report.

Per the New York Daily News.

Leave it to Gawker to expose this wife abusing bully for what he is!

[laserhaas]

27. Yup... shows to go ya.... And thanks for the NY Daily News corroborative link

Amazing this even made it onto the net.

They have the case stuff germane, mostly under seal.

[darkangel218]

26. What a douche.. holy crap!

[Dont call me Shirley]

28. Billy the Beater

[gordianot]

29. It must be PTSD from all the war zones he covered.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

32. I'll add it for you!

[gordianot]

35. The war on Christmas demands a commanding presence.

[kimbutgar]

30. What's sick is he is untouchable

He never suffers consequences for his actions. He can lie, attack and physically assault his wife and it's ho hum in Fox propaganda world.

[laserhaas]

38. Well, we just have to look at it this way. Forever more, we can say STFU wife beater

to the whammy frkr...

[kimbutgar]

44. Another thing to show what a vile dispicable person he really is!

[sorefeet]

67. I'm pretty sure this is a crime

why doesn't the state prosecute.

[laserhaas]

81. Question is - IF - she reported it to authorities (when it happened)

IMO (not having seen the complaint- that they put under seal) - she probably did report it.

Could have been how she began to date a cop.


And - concur - if reported..... should have been prosecuted.

[MisterP]

34. man, Billo's gonna drag the Camerlegno down on his head by the time this is over

[jtuck004]

37. Does anyone need an interview bad enough to be on a wife beater's show? That ought to be something

made really public each time...

[gordianot]

39. From what I hear Fox has some good editors for Billo he needs it with all his baggage and temper.

[laserhaas]

40. Concur. As stated in another comment - every time he opens his mouth

we should yell out


STFU - wifebeater

[jtuck004]

48. Every guest should ask him if he has stopped beating his wife, and leave if he makes excuses. Unless

they are as gutless and suffer from such a lack of morals as he.

Anyone who appears enriches him - and might as well be agreeing with him.

[cosmicone]

41. What will get him in trouble is not the wife beating

The wife beating will help him score points with the southern racist crowd all of whom probably think it is the norm.

What will get him in real trouble is starting an IA investigation against the police officer boyfriend of his ex-wife. The police union will ream his ass for going after one of their own and some republican politician is going to go to jail for abuse of process.

On edit: smart woman -- she is dating a cop to stop Billo's shenanigans and now has protection. Heck if the cop feels threatened and uses his service revolver, I'll be ok with that even if Billo is only armed with a loofah.

[Kelvin Mace]

46. The gun thing

only works when shooting poor white people, or people of any color other than white.

[KamaAina]

42. Was he in a hurry to get to the falafel joint?

[laserhaas]

43. on Facebook - already knows the GOP position on this issue

Go figure.

47. But but--- his ratings went up so it's okay.

[Punx]

49. I'm Shocked

I'm Shocked I say,

That Bill O'Liely would be a bully even to his own family.

I bet Senator Franken is shocked as well.

Hope I don't need to use the Sarcasm thingy. He has come across that way to me for at least a decade now. Now where is Olberman when we need him?

[tiptonic]

52. War hero

But wait, isn't he a war hero? It must be PDST/battle fatigue.

57. He was heard screaming...

Fuck it!! We'll do it live! WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!! FUCKIN'...THING...SUCKS!!!

[wordpix]

58. my guess is most bully-bigmouths are spousal abusers

They have to put everyone down to make themselves seem more important. I hope the Ms. takes this bumpkus to the cleaners.

[Alkene]

59. Long-standing anger issues

[onehandle]

72. A man who has clearly been violent to women many times. nt

[wordpix]

86. any guy who sexually harasses women like O'Lielly has

is not in his right mind. Since most states don't have residential treatment centers for the mentally ill, throw him in jail as others are "treated."

OTOH, he can afford a private treatment facility, which most mentally ill people can't.

[ColesCountyDem]

60. I'm shocked, I tell you! Shocked!

[lamp_shade]

61. ...

Bookmarked

[JI7]

62. Is anyone surprised ?

[Hulk]

63. I can't believe mild mannered bill-o would ever do anything like this.

<cough, cough, choke, choke...> Hope they are able to press charges and put the big ass hole behind bars where the REST OF US can be safe from his twisted bull shit for at least a few days.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

65. His fans will applaud this....

Some will even think it gives them a green light to smack their own wife around.

[LiberalFighter]

66. There needs to be an investigation into those responsible for the IA investigation.

[laserhaas]

68. As a fighter myself, I agree.

We should demand a full District Attorney of NYC (and even State AG if O'Reilly did such reaching out to parties "around" the state) - investigation of undue influence (also known as corruption).

[Gothmog]

70. Billo is a bully and a thug

This report is not surprising at all

[AtheistCrusader]

71. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

[niyad]

73. colour me sooo not surprised. not certain of timeline here, but, was he married when the whole

andrea makris thing happened?

[cascadiance]

76. This shit has gone on well before he was at Fox News... A friend of mine "dated" him once.

... back in the days that he worked for a local tv station here in Portland. Not really a date from what I remember (perhaps in his mind it was), but a visit to his place where she saw tons of big pictures of himself along with a waste basket full of condoms when she went in to use the toilet there.

When she saw all of that, it was a message to her to get the hell out of there then! I'm glad she did!

[laserhaas]

82. WOW....

Surreal

[JonLP24]

77. He is one of the biggest hotheads I ever seen on television

The Jeremy Glick interview was a very low moment for him. Then there were things were he is yelling at Barnie Frank blaming him for the financial crisis.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

105. He was bullying and mean to Terry Gross in his interview on NPR

in 2003 on her show "Fresh Air". He told her to go find another line of work and then walked out of the interview in a huff. He's one of the biggest assholes on the air.

http://www.npr.org/yourturn/ombudsman/2003/031015.html

[Hugin]

78. I knew something was up.

My hint was the hubris at Fox News going after Brian Williams.

With them, it's always, "Hey, look at what THEY are doing!".

[lostnfound]

79. "FOX News! We Abuse..."

The poor wife. Can you imagine waking up and feeling trapped by such a violent asshole? With kids together?

[laserhaas]

83. Very cool slogan

When I remember it in the future

remind me that I did find it

at lostnfound

[Omar4Dems]

88. A violent asshole with friends in high places

Not a good combination.

[laserhaas]

93. CONCUR! --- Tyrant, bully, abuser - all bad faith scums of the highest order.

We should get his ex - on camera = about this.

[mgardener]

80. Be nice to the poor guy....

He most likely has PTSD from his horrific experience as a war reporter!!!!!
He also lied about that.

I loved how he tried to get his wife ex communicated from the Catholic church.
He has lied, cheated, abused. Perfect Fox employee too

He is a nasty, nasty man. I hope he gets Everything he deserves.

[laserhaas]

84. AMEN to that...

for the super brat

[Helen Borg]

90. Yeah, like that time when he almost got killed

to save the injured reporter...

[Omar4Dems]

87. Oh really?

"O’Reilly tried to have his former wife excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church in 2013, according to another Gawker report."

What, is he a bishop now?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

96. hilarious gif!

[laserhaas]

98. Super COOL - Cute...

What a pixel'n

[Helen Borg]

89. Totally consistent with his bully personality...

[niyad]

91. I miss KO!!!!!

[laserhaas]

94. Me too..... Gumble, Rather, Wallace, K.O.

They ALWAYS find a way to take those who are popular and speak the truth (like Bernie and Warren)..

To push them aside -into a quieter corner

But we still love them and pay attention to any ZING'rs they can play.

[eppur_se_muova]

92. OK, now, how does he not go to jail for this ?

I'm sure he won't, being rich and white, but I'm just curious as to what the pretzel-logic rationalization will be.

[laserhaas]

95. We need the police report.

HE wasn't dragging her by the neck.

She fell and he was impeding how serious the fall would have been.

or

He was demonstrating to his daughter - what to do in case of fire.

You know --- let the gravity help you save momma....

[randome]

97. It's telling that he lost custody of his children.

My ex vindictively tried to make an issue over our children but there was never any possibility of my losing custody of them. If O'Reilly's relationship to his own children is such that a judge would even consider taking them away from him, he is a poor father and role model. And for good measure, a poor human being.

Cool!

[yurbud]

103. he'll take care of it the way he did the falafel scandal

he'll have to shower his wife with money to drop the charges, and the media will dutifully never mention it again if there's no criminal case.

[laserhaas]

106. Will try to do our part to "expose" O'Reilly

for the tool that he is

Including this new GD thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026696234

[Shoulders of Giants]

109. Nothing will happen to him

This is a man who can't get fired. He survived paying millions to have tapes of him sexually harassing a young woman at work erased. He also survived getting caught lying about being in a war and witnessing a suicide (despite not even being in the state at the time). Bill O'reilly could get caught at a Klan rally or with his hands down a six year old pants and still not lose his job. That's because Fox News has no integrity at all. The ratings and money O'reilly brings are far more important to Fox News than integrity.

[laserhaas]

110. Somewhat concur. --- For everyone, there's a step that goes over the line.

Question is, as all humans either become devoured with guilt and/or the worse of it - they have none.

Such being the possibility, we have to worry if he'll really do harm to another.

[ProfessorGAC]

111. He's A Punk

For all his bluster, i doubt he'd last 10 seconds in a real fight. But, give him a woman 2/3rds his size, and he's a super tough guy.

[laserhaas]

112. Isn't amazing how bullies, usually are, just pussies...

I've always paid attention how bullies - big n small - try to prove their worth on unequal targets.

Even in Laser Tag - the workers like to Bambi kill and brag about point scores.
(the owners/ elite of Lazer Quest - in Canada - actually rigged guns to malfunction and theirs machine fire)

In reality - the prove themselves even weaker - extremely insecure.

[laserhaas]

113. By the way, your "punk" reference brings Ashton K.'s show to mind.

It would be real cool, to see O'Reilly get punked

in the same manner that Conan O'Brien did in my newer thread.

114. this news is dropping like a stone....

why is that? he has made a statement that the charges are false. So, that's it?

this story has no legs for some reason.

115. Like the 'Blue Wall of Silence' - main stream journos

have their "got'ch'r back" code of protection too.

Being that they are all lame stream.....
