ew York appeals court denied Fox News host Bill O’Reilly’s petition seeking custody of his two children, Gawker reported on Monday.
The court’s Feb. 24 ruling upheld a Nassau County Supreme Court decision granting full custody of the 12-year-old boy and 17-year-old girl to Maureen McPhilmy, the Factor host’s ex-wife.
“Viewing the totality of the circumstances, there is a sound and substantial basis for the Supreme Court’s determination that it is in the best interests of the children for the mother to be awarded primary residential custody,” the Appellate Division Second Judicial Department court stated. “Particularly relevant in this case are the clearly stated preferences of the children, especially considering their age and maturity, and the quality of the home environment provided by the mother.”
Court transcripts published last May showed that the girl told a court-appointed psychologist that O’Reilly “was choking her mom or had his hands around her neck and dragged her down some stairs.”
The psychologist, Larry Cohen, also testified that the daughter told him that O’Reilly described McPhilmy as “an adulturer,” and described McPhilmy’s new husband as “not a good person.”
According to Cohen, the daughter said O’Reilly told him that, “if she spends her time or more time at the mother’s home, it will ruin her life.”
O’Reilly and McPhilmy divorced in September 2011 and originally agreed to split custody of the children.

Not to mention that psychologists sometimes have an agenda and tend to ask questions in a way to prove that agenda. Some kids are narcissistic, too, and will lie to give themselves some kind of leverage and a lot of limelight. I would not take any of this to the bank.
Simple.
It’s ridiculous that just talking about sex can now qualify as sexual harassment. I guess if the girl in the next cube talks about her hot date last night, I can sue my company?
Chris Rock had it right...the ONLY sexual harassment is when you tell someone they’ll get fired or given less compensation unless they have sex with you. That’s it.
Back around 2005 there was a worker at my plant who was divorced and had custody of the daughter. The ex-wife convinced the daughter's girlfriend to make the claim that Andy had molested her.
Andy was subsequently arrested, thrown in jail and during the arraignment, the judged actually called him a monster without the benefit of trial.
After all was said and done, it was finally revealed that the girl had lied. Meanwhile Andy was ostracized in his neighborhood, his reputation was destroyed and there were costly attorney's fees........
While his job was protected, he eventually lost it when our plant closed down at the end of 2006. In 2007 Andy committed suicide........
EXACTLY.
Oh, how sad.
“I’m pretty well sure that NY would be more sympathetic to the woman.”
Sounds warranted in this case.
Think Nurse Ratched, but with even more power over the kid, since there are blood ties.
LOL...the thought of an empty nest in a few years does not scare me a bit.

When my older brother got the nest emptied, after a year or so he told me that the empty nest stunk. I told him he was doing it wrong.
My empty nester plans are simple, and involve a couple of trips a week to my favorite winery.
Sounds like a sound plan.
This must be killing O'Reilly.
