O'Reilly motion to seal settlement agreements denied

[Va Lefty]

"A federal judge in New York has denied Bill O'Reilly's motion to seal settlement agreements he struck with multiple women who accused him of harassment, dealing a huge blow to the former Fox News host in a defamation suit brought last year."

"Deborah Batts, the judge presiding over the defamation suit, ruled Tuesday that O'Reilly "has failed to present compelling countervailing factors that could overcome the presumption of public access" to the agreements."

Apparently Andrea Mackris, who brought sexual harassment charges against O'Reilly, had her attorney, Benedict Morelli, switch sides while agreement was being negotiated and began representing O'Reilly! How this not grounds for disbarment?
