I don't believe a word of it.
this is the 5th time we have seen this.....enough already
O'Reilly's fantasies were...pithy.
Perhaps it has escaped your notice that this employee ASKED to come back to work with him. Sounds EXACTLY like Anita Hill to me.
I will extend Mr. O'reilly the same benefit of doubt that he extended the Swift Boat Vets, but I'm sure he'll understand that I can't say who I'd vote for until the trial.
I don't like O'Reilly, but I'm much inclined to side with him. The charges sound fake, and even if true they don't bother me.
He has become such a pompous ass of late that I don't think too many are going to care one way or the other about this case. Maybe it will give Greta and her "panel" something to talk about after the Peterson trial.
Like or hate the O'bloviator, this doesn't sound like him. His counter suit implies an extortion motive. Maybe the interplay between he and the female counterparts on the radio factor emboldened this woman to try for a big payday.
Don't think he did it.

Who knows in this day and age? O'blowhard's opening of his show makes me very suspicious however. His filing against her first is a dead giveaway. I could definitely see him as a dirty old man. Hope she's got him on tape.
Guilty already? That was fast...
This does not compare to Clinton. O'Reilly never touched this woman unlike Bill Clinton allegedly groped Katherine Willey or Paula Jones. Essentially, O'Reilly talked dirty. Certainly, he used poor judgment but I fail to see how she was harmed by this behavior. She will experience great difficulty in winning this case even if she does have tape recordings because courts hesitate in granting awards for mere offensive behavior, especially in the absence of physical contact. Usually, courts must find the existence of a "hostile" environment at the workplace. That is, "offensive" does not necessarily equal "hostile." Further, a plaintiff also ordinarily must prove that she sought a remedy within the workplace which this plaintiff did not.
In the end, O'Reilly fantasizes about sex as most of us do. However, he used poor judgment in deciding to express those fantasies so openly at the workplace. Regardless, it does not necessarily follow that his antics amount to sexual harassment under the law.
Very entertaining read, I must say.
Reminds me of the Rodney Dangerfield gag:
"My wife likes to talk dirty to me during sex. The other night she phoned me from a motel."
I believe her. I believed Juanita,Paula,Kathleen and Monica also. I was a big fan up till about 6 months ago. He become arrogant, eliteist and egotistical. If true, I hope he gets what's coming to him. All this crap while his pregnant wife was home with their daughter? That's pretty low.Correction,VERY low.
No. O'Reilly is never accused of rape (at least, that I saw in there). But his behavior (if the woman described it accurately) was despicable. There's no excuse for that kind of behavior.
On the other hand, the woman was a glutton for punishment. She kept going back to him and never complained to Fox management. She's a professional woman, she must know how to handle herself. It's almost as if she was deliberately subjecting herself to more of the abuse so she could make it into a big lawsuit (and the $60M demand is possibly extortionate)...
Even if the statement is true, there's nothing there. O'Reilly is boorish. Big whup.
He's a populist. He thinks some woman like this crap. Maybe some do.
This will work to his advantage.
PS: I don't care for O'Reilly and think this woman had her head filled with dumb ideas when she went to CNN.
Looks bogus to me. Fox's counter is devastating to Morelli's.
