Bill O'Reilly 'Caught Cheating' in Child Custody Battle

Bill O'Reilly's child custody battle with his ex-wife has gotten so ugly that he secretly hired the therapist designated as a neutral "arbitrator" in their disputes, Gawker reports. First, some backstory: The Fox News commentator separated from Maureen McPhilmy in 2011, and allegedly tried to start an internal affairs probe into her then-boyfriend, a police detective. Now O'Reilly's been caught paying six figures to Lynne Kulakowski, turning the custodial arbitrator into his children's nanny. In other juicy tidbits:

• McPhilmy's Long Island parish has reprimanded her for divorcing O'Reilly and marrying her detective boyfriend. The church warned that she can't tell her kids that God approves of her second marriage. Gawker notes that O'Reilly gave over $65,000 to New York Catholic schools and parishes in 2011 and carries influence with the archdiocese.
• O'Reilly is trying to annul his 15-year marriage to McPhilmy. Gawker snidely presumes that this would validate his 2004 escapade with a former producer who filed sexual harassment charges against him.
• An appellate court has ordered an independent attorney to represent O'Reilly and McPhilmy's children, a sign that things are getting "particularly poisonous," notes Gawker.

Gawker can go to hell. But O’Reilly is a tool too.

O’Reilly is trying to annul his 15-year marriage to McPhilmy.

No problem, BOR admires the kennedys so all he needs to do is follow their family example as it relates to marriages and annulments, get his own cardinal...

I couldn’t think of a good comment to post in #1.

No need really. Yours is all that needs be said.

Anything named “Gawker” can’t be up to any good!

[Fiji Hill]

Bill O’Reilly is the guy who doesn’t like AK-15 assault rifles.

[don-o]

As Rush said when the NY Times asked him about O'Reilly

"Ted Baxter" And that was all he said

[PGR88]

I can’t imagine O’Reilly being involved in any dispute that would not get ‘ugly.’

[RetiredArmy]

O’Really is scum. I liked him about 8 or 9 years ago. No longer watch him or Fox.

[InterceptPoint]

He would never be able to get away with this kind of stuff if he wasn't the Smartest Person On Earth. That gets you brownie point with everyone.

What, you say, O'Reilly isn't really the Smartest Person On Earth (SPOE)? Right. We all know that O'Reilly is not just a SPOE, he's THE SPOE. How do we know? We get told so 5 nights a week and 52 or so weeks a year. After awhile it just sinks in.

[oldironsides]

Cripes. The things we find out on FR. Good Lord.

[TADSLOS]

Bll’s just doi’n it to protect ‘the folks’. You’ll see, because Bill will preach it to us all on his show of shows.

Long Island parish has reprimanded her for divorcing O'Reilly

I highly doubt that.

[RPTMS]

No joke! Some dioceses might as well set up drive-thru annulments!

[onyx]

I couldn’t image being married to O’Reilly, but he and his children have my prayers.

DILLIGAF!

Stop wasting server space with sh!t that belongs on the tabloid rack.
