That was an unfortunate choice of words, but that's Bo. FOXNEWS is playing hardball with this woman. Since this is a civil action, look for a major trash dump on Andrea Mackris.
They may play hardball, but I do not think that was a smart move on Bo Deitl's or whoevers suggestion that he do that on national television.
Thanks for the correct spelling of his name.
Hi, TexKat. Right--O'Randy is sending in his clowns. He had a paper-server hide i Andrea's building today and jump out from behind the stairwell to serve litigation papers. He shoved them into her chest. She let them drop and refused service. Anhour later, as she left her home to go on Anderson Cooper's show, the creep was still hanging around and once again shoved the papers against her chest.
Previously, O'Bloviators lawyers had agreed that all papers to Andrea would be served at Moelli's office. This is a courtesy that most normal lawyers extend to one another.
This girl should hire a bodyguard. O'Reilly and his thugs don't play fair.
From Andrea's complaint:
In her lawsuit, Mackris claims that when she told O'Reilly in April to be careful since he had also spoken inappropriately to other female staffers, O'Reilly said -- "If any woman ever breathed a word I'll make her pay so dearly that she'll wish she'd never been born... It'd be her word against mine and who are they going to believe? Me or some unstable woman making outrageous accusations. They'd see her as some psycho, someone unstable."
Please excuse all the typos. It's almost my bedtime.
You can do that?
If O'Butthead's lawyer thinks there are tapes, I wonder how O'Butthead is handling his little wife fresh with newborn.
Sad in any event.
That's what she said. I didn't know you could do that either.
So is this chick your sister or something?
You got inside information?
Ha! I wish I was related. She's going to be a very wealthy girl.
No, I heard her remarks on the Anderson Cooper show. She and Morelli have been making the rounds of the talk shows.
If this and other lawsuits continue to play out in the national media, God help us all.
I wonder just how hard Geraldo and Rita Cosby is going to be on this since they are both on Fox News.
I'll get rid of my TV set. Those lawyer talking heads are giving me nightmares already.
From what I've read, I'm not convinced of her case at all.
Why do you seem to think this is a slam dunk?
She seems like another Anita Hill or the girl in the Kobe Bryant case, yet you seem to be defending her quit heavily.
What do you see that I am am not seeing?
Is it just a "gut" feeling, or do you know something more?
"She and Morelli have been making the rounds of the talk shows."
I think that legal tactic could be termed "a media pimp and his whore". ;)
CNN's Anderson Cooper
Miami, defense attorney Jayne Weintraub, Court TV anchor Lisa Bloom
[CUT]
WEINTRAUB: Lisa, you know what? This is a real disservice to sexual harassment victims of any sort walking around. First of all, let's look at the facts here. This woman worked for Fox, and alleges that these all happened to her. She felt trapped. She was so threatened and scared. Why didn't she just hang up? Why didn't she quite? Why didn't she leave? Why didn't she complain? Why didn't she do anything? Even if he did the things she claims, $60 million? What is going to in this country with our justice system? This is not justice...
BLOOM: You know what the answer to that is, Sandy. Women are not required to leave their jobs. Guess what? We can keep our jobs and insist that we not be sexually harassed.
WEINTRAUB: Why didn't she make a complaint about it? Why did she go back to work for him?
BLOOM: Let me tell you, you expect this woman to make a complaint on her own against Bill O'Reilly, one of the biggest stars at Fox News. She hired an attorney to do it on her behalf. That was appropriate.
WEINTRAUB: What are the damages here. I'm sorry, Anderson. What are the damages, $60 million. Even if he did what she claims where does she come off asking for 60 million damages. I say kudos to Bill O'Reilly for having the courage to stand up as a celebrity and say I'm not going to be blackmailed and I'm not going to hush this under the rug.
BLOOM: ...in the way that it's alleged in this complaint talking about graphic explicit activities.
WEINTRAUB: Lisa, why (UNINTELLIGIBLE) having this conversation?
BLOOM: ...including sexual intercourse. Why would you give kudos to someone like that. If she demanded $60 million it was to avoid filing the lawsuit.
WEINTRAUB: Because she's an adult. Why did she have these conversations?
BLOOM: ...they said no, the lawsuit has now been filed. The difference is if they threatened to go public without the 60 million being paid that could be extortion...
COOPER: So the line between extortion and asking for money is what?
BLOOM: If you say I'm going to file a lawsuit unless you pay me X dollars, not extortion. That's just pretrial settlement talk, happens every day of the week. If you say unless you pay me X dollars I will expose you, I will go public that very well could be extortion. If her attorney did that, that was an error on his part.
WEINTRAUB: We know her attorney very well, you and I, we were both on a TV show with him...
BLOOM: Outstanding trial attorney.
WEINTRAUB: He has quite a theatrical flair. She e-mailed one of her best friends last month.
And she said...
COOPER: I'm not sure theatrical is all that bad.
A little sensitive for you both right there.
WEINTRAUB: She e-mailed her friend and she was saying she was happy. She loved the job and couldn't be happier. She's home again and never leaving and that's working for Bill O'Reilly.
BLOOM: She's got a tape of these comments by Bill O'Reilly of the explicit behavior he wants to engage. It's over for him if she really has that on tape.
WEINTRAUB: I think she has to take some sort of responsibility.
BLOOM: She has to take responsibility for the comments he made?
WEINTRAUB: Lisa, you don't know what she was saying to him!

(She says his frank "falafel" talk went too far...and I thought that was a lamb wrap with some cucumber dressing!)
"This is getting serious."
"getting?" Hun, it got serious the moment the bunny boiler sent her law dog to Fox asking for $60 million dollars in hush money. $60 million! especially after she got her boss at CNN fired for sex harrassment too! Mackris is Omarosa-wite..Laughabley serious. Today Donald Trump is thinking glad I cut that nut loose.
"She let them drop and refused service."
"You can do that?"
Yes, it's called gravity. Quite simple
Gravity...it's not just a good idea....
It's The Law! :o)
Ha Ha ..True
