Bill O’Reilly’s Divorce Is So Ugly, God Got Involved

[question everything]

Edit to add two more paragraphs:

Bill O'Reilly wants his ex-wife to go to Hell. Literally. As we previously reported, the Fox News falafelist became separated from his former wife Maureen McPhilmy at some point in 2011, and later went on an apparently corrupt crusade to destroy the career of the Nassau County Police detective she was dating. We have now confirmed that O'Reilly and McPhilmy have been formally divorced, that she has since married the detective, and that O'Reilly is in the midst of a scorched-earth custody battle—dubbed, appropriately enough, Anonymous v. Anonymous—over the ex-couple's two children. It involves a surreptitious attempt by O'Reilly to undermine his custody arrangement by hiring, as a member of his household staff, the woman he and his ex had agreed on as a neutral arbiter of their disputes. It also involves O'Reilly's attempts to annul his marriage and have McPhilmy potentially booted from the Catholic Church.

(snip)

Another indication that it has become poisonous: the Catholic Church has gotten involved. Gawker has learned that McPhilmy has been formally reprimanded in writing by her church for continuing to take communion in her Long Island parish despite having been divorced and remarried—a no-no according to the Pope. The reprimand also instructed her to stop telling her children that her second marriage, to the Nassau County detective O'Reilly tried to destroy, is valid in the eyes of God. It warned her that if she didn't comply, harsher measures may be in order.

(snip)

While he's busy harassing McPhilmy for asserting the holiness of her second marriage, O'Reilly is trying to deny the existence of his first: He is, Gawker has learned, seeking an annulment of his 15-year marriage, which produced two children. Null and void. Invalid in the eyes of God. Never happened. This despite his manifest belief in the "stability" that straight marriage brings to the culture and concern at the (purportedly) declining marriage rates in countries that allow gay people to marry one another. If successful, the annulment would presumably render his 2004 escapade with former producer Andrea Mackris, whom he repeatedly and vividly sexually harassed with threats to take "the falafel thing...and put it on your pussy," retroactively kosher with Jesus. (It would also make him even more of an asshole than his familial nemesis Joseph Kennedy, who tried and failed to have his 12-year marriage annulled.)

[Shankapotomus]

12. Frank Burns nt

[MisterP]

39. Henry VIII?

[question everything]

43. Was thinking the same thing

instead of going through the lengthy, expensive, and annoying divorce proceedings, why not just "off with her head?"

[Rex]

5. Bill O' Reilly is a warm lump of shit.

The FACT that he is an icon among some in this country is a testament to how fucked up America really is.

[Ikonoklast]

11. Go into any working-class tavern.

You'll find his clone bloviating about why this country is fucked up, and usually is because of the same shit Falafel Boy spews.

The blotchy faces love him.

[PDJane]

6. he thinks he can because he's not been called to account for his actions.

Ever. He's still on TV. He's still earning money. He's still got money to burn.

The fact that he's an egotistical man with an anger problem hasn't done anything to hurt him yet.

[rurallib]

7. FUX version of Limbaugh

I hope there is some way McPhilmy can strip him of most of his loot.

[still_one]

9. Seems like he is bribing as many officials as he can so that does not happen

[tblue37]

32. She should get a book deal and scorch HIS earth! nt

[Dawson Leery]

8. The Romanist Bill O'Reilly? The anti-choice, anti-gay O'Reilly has decided to

piss over his church's teachings about marriage?

Hypocrite!

[still_one]

10. Actually he has paid the church big bucks so his ex gets the blame

[Dawson Leery]

13. Corruption.

[47of74]

28. Now do people see why I'm an ex-Catholic?

And now do people see why I hope I don't spontaneously combust when I'm forced to step foot in a Catholic Church when my sister gets marries.

[Dawson Leery]

30. I left Rome's influence along time ago.

[PaddyIrishman]

34. Just avoid the holy water

You should be okay once you avoid the holy water.

It stings! It burns!

Oh, and just block your ears to all the bullshit they come out with while you're inside.

So - asbestos suit - Check
earplugs - Check

You're good to go.

[47of74]

46. Yeah, that's probably a good idea.

[angrychair]

15. Question then:

If billo gets his annulment will the Catholic Church make his kids disappear? You know...the fruit of the marriage that never happened.

[monmouth3]

17. Annulment is a money maker. The Church could keep this going for ages..n/t

[question everything]

23. I never understood the idea of annulment

especially when there are kids involved. What, they just came with the stork?

[Mariana]

24. They'd be considered illegitimate, I suppose.

The fruit of fornication.

[Benton D Struckcheon]

27. No, they're considered legit

...since at the time of conception the marriage was considered legit. I actually looked this up once, it's somewhere in the Canon Law.

[SamReynolds]

16. Scumbag, Hypocrite, Racist, Liar, Philanderer, Pervert

Bombast, Blowhard, Ignorant ass.

The only one of those descriptions for which there is no absolute proof is 'scumbag'.... except that all the others make it true.

[sadbear]

18. Man, I hate victim-blaming, but c'mon!!!!

When you decide to marry a piece of filth like Bill-O, you certainly have to know what would probably happen.

[Hayabusa]

19. Wow, telling the ex-wife to go to Hell is one thing

actively under your belief system trying to send her there is a whole other can of worms. Wow...

[Squinch]

20. Two things: OH DEAR GOD! HE SPAWNED???? And: McPhilmy sounds like a joke name.

[mountain grammy]

31. Really! At first I thought it was the Onion. McPhilmy?

[Squinch]

33. And he cheated on her with McLoofah. But he's a bastion of old fashioned Mcvalues.

[LWolf]

36. My thoughts exactly. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

21. Wait...this is the family values guy right?

Irony.

[duffyduff]

22. Too bad his kids can't divorce him. n/t

[timdog44]

25. I'm a guess he will blame her

for the loss of Christmas. Wait!! I got a card just this last December. I'm confused. Is there still Christmas? I know I just saw the Easter bunny. And St Patty sending the snakes away.

[underpants]

26. I am shocked I tell you!! I almost falafel my chair!!!

an old joke here on DU

[skydive forever]

51. Now thats funny right there. Never heard that before.

[pnwmom]

29. Ironically, he's doing her a favor by pursuing the annulment.

As A Catholic, she's probably happy about that.

He'll probably get his annulment (which doesn't affect the legitimacy of their children, by the way). And then his wife will be free to have her new marriage blessed in the Church.

[olegramps]

37. She should have actually taken the action first to annul the marriage due to his immoral behavior.

[pnwmom]

40. We don't really know that she didn't.

It's not as if these kinds of things are public, unless someone chooses to make them so. I wouldn't tend to believe every self-serving thing O'Reilly says.

[olegramps]

41. Its possible, but I would think that it would have come out by now.

[hatrack]

35. Quelle Surprise! Spotty-Man is an asshole in his private live as well . . .

Who would possibly have guessed it?!?



"Fuck it! We'll harass my ex-wife live!"

[shenmue]

38. This guy

I can't.

[edbermac]

42. Paging Senator Franken!

I'd love to hear his thoughts on Bill-O.

[Auntie Bush]

44. If either parent gets their marriage annalled...Won't that make their children illegitimate?

[amuse bouche]

45. Awww Billo

such a good Christian fellow. Doesn't he make you want to run out and sign up?

[47of74]

47. Ok there are some things I don't want to think of...

....and Bill O'Reilly having sex is tops on that list.

[silvershadow]

48. He's a piece of work now, isn't he? nt

[PatrynXX]

49. probably wants this done before

the new pope changes things.

[dusty trails]

50. What about the kids ?

If Billo gets his marriage annulled, does that make his children "born out of wedlock", or b*st*rds?

[question everything]

52. No. See post 27, above

No one ever claimed that religion, any religion. contains logic and reasons.

This is why we had the Enlightenment, after all.
