"O'Reilly's lawyer, Ronald Green, said he believes there are tapes of conversations between the two and asked a court to compel Mackris to produce them so they could be played publicly.
Green said Mackris never complained to anyone at Fox about untoward behavior by O'Reilly, ...."

"Fox produced an e-mail Mackris sent to a friend last month, saying things are ‘‘wonderful, amazing, fun, creative, invigorating, secure, well-managed, challenging, interesting fun and surrounded by really good, fun people. I'm home and I'll never leave again.''
(Her complaint said that the first time she noticed odd behavior by O'Reilly came in 2002)

The suit also quotes O'Reilly as threatening "any woman" who would complain about his sexual advances, and as suggesting Fox News chief Roger Ailes would "go after" enemies of the channel.
"Look at Al Franken - one day he's going to get a knock on his door and life as he's known it will change forever," the suit quotes O'Reilly as saying. Franken, a liberal commentator, has been engaged for months in a public feud with O'Reilly. Franken did not respond to calls seeking comment.
I have read some of the alleged conversations and my first thought was why would this woman listen to such a conversation but if MacKris has tapes then how could O'Reilly sue her? I am surprised Dan Rather didn't break this one!!!
...........Bill...
..............Bill.
Silly stuff - why is this such an "awkward" time? lol, typical left wing drivel, they WISH this would have some effect and people would defect to the Left Wing Bledia like CNN and Knight Ridder newspapers.
I wish ailes would fire him and replace him with Tony Snow.
Man....where DID the Spin Stop??? O'R has ticked off every conservative, so I guess it's up to the moderates to defend him......NOT!
Miss Mackris' complaint alleges Mr. O'Reilly says she has nice large breasts. I'd like to see a confirming picture of this allegation, to know if it is true, or if it is all in Miss Mackris' head.
The pictures in the papers today didn't really hint at much bouancy up top.

The woman accusing Bill O'Reilly of sex harassment threw a hissy fit inside a tony Midtown hotel bar last week and then sneered to onlookers that she works for "The O'Reilly Factor," a Manhattan chef told The Post yesterday.
"She literally verbally attacked and abused and harassed us at The Peninsula hotel, like a raving lunatic," said Bethenny Frankel, a chef and owner of a cookie-making company. "It was very strange."
The altercation allegedly started when Frankel asked Andrea Mackris if she could borrow two chairs from a four-person table where the TV producer was having a drink with her handicapped mother.
Frankel and a friend who witnessed the debacle last Friday say Mackris refused to yield a chair and became abusive, leading to an angry altercation.
"I said, 'Can we have those chairs?' " Frankel said. "She started flipping out . . . she was like 'There's something wrong with you, why can't I sit here with my mother?' So I said to her, 'What are you so upset about?' And all of a sudden she said: 'Do you know who I am? I work at the O'Reilly report.' "
Izzy Goldreich, an attorney and consultant who was part of Frankel's party, couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Before you knew it, this woman got simply irate. It just became like women's wrestling hour," he said. "This woman was more or less in Bethenny's face."
Mackris' attorney, Benedict Morelli, confirmed that Mackris was at the hotel having a drink with her mother, who he said has MS and walks with a cane. But he said Frankel escalated the incident.
"They came in and they wanted the chairs because they had a large party, and Ms. Mackris said why don't you wait until the maitre d' comes over because you need more than one chair and you can get a group of chairs [from him], and this woman started to really insult her and bad-mouth her and act inappropriately."
After the initial confrontation, Mackris turned to the management of the hotel, who Morelli said booted Frankel and her party.
Frankel said she and her group were asked to leave. She said it was only because Mackris raised such a fuss that flustered bar workers asked them to go so things would calm down.
Morelli said the bar management, which could not be reached for comment, gave Mackris a box of truffles to smooth over the incident.
But Frankel said Mackris kept the anger flowing by following them to the elevator and berating them.
"So as we're leaving, and she comes flying at me at the elevator, and is like, see you're leaving and I'm staying," Frankel said.
Mackris filed a lawsuit Wednesday, accusing the Fox News Channel host of making lewd passes at her as she worked for him. O'Reilly has filed a countersuit accusing Frankel of blackmailing him with the threat of the suit.
On TV talk shows yesterday, Mackris and O'Reilly attacked each other.
On "Good Morning America," Mackris said O'Reilly "pushed boundaries further and further." While on "Live with Regis and Kelly," O'Reilly denied the charges and said, "This is the worst day of my life."
