Fox host Bill O'Reilly loses custody of children amid abuse allegations Published time: 1 Mar, 2016
Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly lost custody of his teenage children over allegations of domestic abuse by his ex-wife.
The New York Appellate Division unanimously ruled that O'Reilly's 13- and 17-year-old children should live full time with their mother, Maureen McPhilmy, who was married to the conservative commentator for 15 years.
A 1,400 word opinion using anonymous names was issued by the court last week, but the media only figured out who it was this week.
The ruling states it was the "clearly stated preferences of the children" to live with McPhilmy, citing their "age and maturity" as well as "the home environment provided" by her.
This affirms the original ruling by Nassau County Supreme Court in May 2015, which O'Reilly had appealed to delay its enforcement, Gawker reported.
O'Reilly and McPhilmy will share legal custody in material matters concerning the children, such as schooling, medical care, and religious guidance.
Following the initial ruling last year, it emerged O'Reilly's 17-year-old daughter claimed she had witnessed O'Reilly "choking her mom" and that he had "dragged her down some stairs".
She has said she found O'Reilly's temper "scary" and also branded him an "adulterer" and an absentee father as he was "never around".

Kids often pick the parent who disciplines less to live with. God only knows what they were promised if they picked Mom. Govt makes Father’s irrelevant.
Maybe at home its the “I’ll make your head spin zone”?

I wonder how The Donald will use this?
I am skeptical of the validity of this article due to the fact that BOR has 13 year old twins...a boy and a girl.
If they can’t even get the children’s ages right...?

Gawker has obtained partial transcripts from the custody trial at the center of Fox News anchor Bill OReillys vicious dispute with his ex-wife, Maureen McPhilmy. The documents, which record testimony given last year, confirm that the ex-couples teenage daughter told a court-appointed forensic examiner that she

Trump’d be wise not to deploy it against O’Reilly, else it will look meanly uncalled for.
Unless O’Reilly goes into full attack mode against Trump. Then fire away.
I heard that after she has her baby, Ivanka is going to be her dad’s secret weapon!! :)
It’s funny how The Donald always gets proven right. Yes, he should put keep this in his quiver. O’Reilly has a lot of clout at Fox and could be useful.
“Bill O’Reilly told Donald Trump he wanted to go “mano a mano” Thursday night following the Fox News debate as he stepped on stage to be eye to eye with the party’s Republican frontrunner.
Sensing irritation from Trump over a tough question, O’Reilly asked, “Are you getting mad at guys like me when you ask negative questions?”
“I do think you have become negative,” Trump said.
O’Reilly seemed surprised.
“Me? Why?”
Trump said he could not quite put his finger on it. “I don’t know that. You have to ask your psychiatrist.”
What’s an old man like that doing with a thirteen year old kid?
“I am skeptical of the validity of this article due to the fact that BOR has 13 year old twins...a boy and a girl.
If they cant even get the childrens ages right...?”
What is your source for this? Every account I have read of BOR’s family is that the girl and boy are now 17 and 13, respectively.
The Lecherous Leprechaun is not Father of the Year material.
Coulda knocked me over with a spoon. /s
“He should not have waited until he was 49 to marry.”
BOR was 47 when he married.
Why should we get involved in gossipy garbage like this? Whoever runs FR needs to keep it a serious, issues-oriented web site.

Everyone Who Knew Bill O’Reilly In 1982 Is A Vicious Lying Pinhead
By Doktor Zoom -

You guys, this is really serious: It appears that virtually everyone from CBS who worked with Bill O’Reilly when he was bravely reporting on the Falklands War in 1982 is a vicious smear artist who just wants Billo to look bad! You see, Bill had said that he’d been a war correspondent and witnessed combat during the Falklands War, but then those meddling kids at Mother Jones went and pointed out that no reporters were allowed on the Falklands, and Bill had been in Buenos Aires, Argentina, over a thousand miles away.
Billo had an answer for that: He’d covered the riots that erupted after the Argentinian defeat, and in one terrifying episode, the Army shot into the crowd, and Bill had to save his injured cameraman’s life as the soldiers pointed guns at their heads. So, yes definitely combat!
Except that even Billo’s revised story is refuted by the other CBS reporters who were there. CNN cited seven former CBS staff who said that O’Reilly’s account was not accurate, and two other reporters have also come forward to contradict O’Reilly. It’s one hell of a conspiracy to smear Bill O’Reilly, the only honest person who was there.
The best account is by former CBS newsman Eric Engberg, who takes apart O’Reilly’s version of the events with a detailed account that leaves the distinct impression that O’Reilly in 1982 was already a self-aggrandizing asshole, if you can believe that. Engberg even thinks it’s a stretch to say that O’Reilly (or any of the CBS staff stuck in Argentina) was “covering” the war:
