Bill O’Reilly Loses Custody of Kids in Unanimous Court Ruling

[packman]

Source: Yahoo.com

Fox News Host Bill O’Reilly will lose residential custody of his children following a New York appeals court ruling last week.

The The Nassau County Supreme Court ruling upheld a lower-court decision that the kids, ages 13 and 17, should live with the Fox News Channel host’s ex-wife, Maureen McPhilmy, according to court documents.

O’Reilly and McPhilmy divorced in 2011 and have been battling for custody ever since. The lengthy ruling was finally rendered on Feb. 24.

“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 ruling says.

1. Yes, because their father is a known habitual, compulsive LIAR!

[Plucketeer]

4. Bill's a habitual ass hole

He has a diarrhea episode every time he's on TV!

[dicksmc3]

35. yeah and something else--

he's a PRCIK!!!

[still_one]

2. Shouldn't be a surprise. The divorce occurred because of domestic abuse by him

[Raster]

6. Thank goodness the courts had the presence of mind to see through his bullshit.

His kids are much better off with their mother.

[still_one]

17. you are absolutely right

[Aerows]

25. I read that.

Poor kids .

You can smell the asshole permeating him through the television. He doesn't even have to be in proximity to exude that foul stench.

[C Moon]

27. Wow. What a jerk!

[Chasstev365]

3. The Judge Had No Choice; He's Part of a Cult

known as the Fox "News" Network, a.k.a Goebellsvison, that dupes fools into voting against their own interests.

[Botany]

5. the man is slime

he beat his children's mother and is on record as being a creep.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A7578-2004Oct28.html

[Aerows]

26. That's almost an insult to slime

to compare it to Bill O'Reilly.

[Botany]

30. And >80% of his viewers will know nothing about what he has done ....

.... and those that do hear or read about this story will think that it is just
"the liberal media" out to get Bill because he is looking out for the "common
folks."

[atreides1]

38. I disagree

I think they know exactly what he did, they just don't care!

Besides, what would Billo fans do if they couldn't blame everyone else for their leaders problems?

[tabasco]

42. Please apologize to slime.

[Dont call me Shirley]

7. To drag the kids through that mess for 5 years is sickening. He got what he deserved. I hope the

kids have an opportunity for some deep healing now.

[Left Coast2020]

8. I'm sure when the kids are older

we'll hear the truth about what this POS is really like.

9. Bully Bill, wife abuser

From the linked article:
"The preference of O’Reilly’s 17-year-old daughter is not particularly difficult to guess:
she told a court-appointed forensic examiner that she witnessed O’Reilly drag her mother down a staircase by the neck.
... she also viewed O’Reilly as a temperamental, absentee parent who was uninterested in developing a relationship"

[SunSeeker]

14. Wow. And he even had the nerve to demand custody after being so violent?

Disgusting.

[okaawhatever]

47. I think it's the same mental issue. Of course he demands custody. He isn't the problem. She is the

one who makes him act like that. She is incompetent and unworthy, only he is good enough between the two of them. (That is the typical thinking of an abuser).

The second reason is more sadistic in nature. The abuser probably relishes the thought of her (and maybe even the kids) being so unhappy when they're apart. It also gives him control over the ex if he has custody. He can continue to manipulate her and mentally abuse her if he has control of the kids.


Bill O'Reilly is definitely a sick man, I hope his children get the help and support they need (ditto the wife)

[Kelvin Mace]

21. I can't find that in the linked article

I am happy to believe anything horrible about O'Reilly, provided its true.

[Aerows]

31. Already linked that he is a spouse abuser

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A7578-2004Oct28.html

EDIT: This particular link provides no evidence that he abused his spouse. I linked it because I saw it up thread, but after reading it a few times, I realized it wasn't definitive proof.

I have no love for O'Reilly, but you are correct, the story must deal with facts and evidence.

[Kelvin Mace]

33. Yeah, I kept seeing references to abuse

and Lord knows he seems the type, but I wasn't seeing anything other than the usual proof that he was a creepy, loofah-wielding perv.

[Aerows]

34. He *seems* to have done some bad things

but like you, none of it is conclusive so I figured I had best own up to using a bad source that is accusing him of something there is no proof of.

There is ample proof of him being a low down asshole as it is, no need for me to sink to his level and accuse people of things they haven't done (or can't be proven)

"Some people say" is one of his ways to smear people.

I'll just say, up front and center, that he's an asshole I have no need of nebulous people to validate my opinion!

[jpak]

10. Who got the Loofah????

[saturnsring]

11. this " witnessed O’Reilly drag her mother down a staircase by the neck. " should be everywhere

and oreilly should lose his job

[Aerows]

28. I agree.

He's an asshole worthy of winning the "I'm lower than whale shit in the Mariana Trench" award.

[progressoid]

12. More republican family values in action.

[rpannier]

13. This'll be spun as an uber liberal judge(s) slandering him

Somehow, someway, he'll be the victim

[pfitz59]

15. He's always been an abuser, and a liar...

Al Franken had his number years ago...

[dchill]

16. "Fuck it - we'll do it live!"

[IcyPeas]

19. yeah, that was was very telling..... (VIDEO)

[dchill]

20. He is clearly abusive to his staff...

And this was way back when he was doing Inside Edition.

[Jimbo S]

43. I actually remember watching "Inside Edition"

and was unhappy when it was replaced with "Love Connection".

[IcyPeas]

46. the words "Love Connection" and Bill O'Reilly should not

be in the same conversation. LOL

[backscatter712]

18. Damn, Billo finds new ways to be a piece of shit.

Assaulting his ex for being an "adulterer" after his little incident with Andrea Mackris.

I'm with Keith Olbermann: Bill O'Reilly is the Worst Person In The World!!!

[JohnnyRingo]

22. I'm guessing the kids had a great deal of input.

They're at the age of election and I'm certain they were consulted about who they wanted to be with.

Barring any parental traits that would be a physical danger to the children, the children's say carries a lot of weight in court, and why shouldn't it? They know the parents better than anyone.

[rpannier]

29. I read in a few places that the oldest one sunk him in court

[FairWinds]

23. Spin This, you . .

pathetic piece of crap.

(Is Bill'o gonna alert me here?)

I'm OK with that.

[Feeling the Bern]

24. No more loofah and falafel for him.

Time for him to "do it live!" And find Andrea Mackris again!

What a POS this POS is.

[KansDem]

32. Don't worry! He still has his palm trees in Wisconsin!

[marble falls]

36. He certainly burned up a lot of money and time losing this issue. Was he ever sanctioned for ...

trying to get her "boyfriend" fired after the divorce?

[okaawhatever]

48. I doubt he thinks he lost. His intention was probably to inflict the most pain on all of them as

possible. He probably tingles down there when he thinks of how long he has put his family through this. (All the while thinking, that's what you get, no doubt)

[left-of-center2012]

37. ooops - read your linked article & I found this one & more:

Bill O’Reilly Accused of Domestic Violence in Custody Battle
Though nearly all documents pertaining to New York family court cases are sealed, Gawker has learned that the justice in the case heard testimony accusing O’Reilly of physically assaulting his wife in the couple’s Manhasset home.

[NurseJackie]

39. How sad for the children to have to go through something like that.

s for them all. (The children, I mean.)

[REP]

40. How sad he put them through that

His children stated they wanted to live with their mother, but instead of doing what was best for them, he insisted on trying to punish his ex-wife by fighting for custody. A decent father would have accepted his children's decision and tried to build a better relationship with them, not drag them through an ugly court battle.

I guess that would make him even more vile, angry and petty on air than he already have been.... But it is telling if he lost the custody of his children - he is as bully at home as he are on the job.... I hope it cost him a little bucks too in the prosess...

[Kablooie]

44. Typical right wing hero.

They seem to consistently admire horribleness.

[Solly Mack]

45. It's not the least bit surprising that O’Reilly is an abuser.

He's a typical bully - meaning he's a full blown coward who goes after those weaker than him.
