I'm curious to see how this turns out. The detailed quotes suggest a tape recording, but if they had one, I should think O'Reilly would have tried to settle it. I am no fan of O'Reilly, and I think his monumental egotism could lead him astray, but this sounds pretty bizarre to me. It will be interesting to see what happens....
So, instead of writing up a formal complains, or, heaven forbid HANGING UP THE PHONE, she does to a lawyer and the solution is about $60 Million dollars. I'm truly beginning to hate the way this Country is going. Maybe the great experiment isn't turning out as great as we thought.
Don't know what to believe but until O'Bloviator comes forward and denies it (he hasn't yet) I'll reserve judgment.
That's the point isn't it?
He may very well have said these things, but she hung around too much. This is political, that is the most disgusting of all. I have no use for O'Reilly and don't care if he loses his job, but I do think she set him up. ( Not saying what he did is right, but she should have immediately reported him,and stayed away from him. That she didn't is very telling.)
If HR had any brains whatsoever, they would not have cared about O'Reilly's position in the organisation: their job is to protect the company. And in this instance, protecting the company might have meant asking O'Reilly awkward questions.
Now perhaps HR at Fox is a weakness, that might be true - but just saying "he's so powerful" is pretty lame.

That was my first thought. This is just not about O'Reilly but also Fox News. I'm not jumping on the bash O'Reilly bandwagon. Want to see how this plays out. If he did this then fire his arse. If he didn't then sue the crappola out of this woman and her lawyers.
Wonder what the CNN connection is? She didn't feel it necessary to say anything until after she had been at CNN.
So much of what O'Reilly says about this rings false.
Anderson Cooper did a wonderful interview this evening with Mackris and Morelli. Andrea said a paper-server hid inside her apartment building, then sprang out at her and rammed the legal papers into her chest. Morelli had previously requested the Green legal teams to serve all papers to Andrea at his office. This is a courtesy that most decent lawyers extend to one another.
This was clearly an intimidating tactic. Who's the mob lawyer here? Looks to me like it's Green.
(Gee, is his first name Moe?)
I heard about the Boston station getting ready to pull the plug on O'Randy. Maybe he can get a job with Howard Stern.
Haha! Right--it's all over the phone for the Big Bloviator. He prefers his vibrator to a real woman. What a slug!
Dear lady,
Listen to yourself. How can you say "she hung around too much"? She was his PRODUCER, and as such, partly responsible for his amazing success over the past four years.
Apparently, you don't know much about a TV producer's job. It's not like the pretty little receptionist who makes coffee and runs out to get the newspaper. The producer is the life's blood of programs like The Factor.
She does not have a 9-5 schedule. A producer is ON CALL 24/7, and part of her job is to take calls from her "Star" at all hours. Many of the dinners were set up by O'R as working dinners.
You obviously know very little about the workings of media corporations.
Jenna Jamison spoke truth. She had him pegged.
It's his hypocrisy that irks me.
Thanks for the ping!
BTTT
Yes, I feel sorry for his wife, too, especially now that all this is made public. He's always wanting to protect his wife and kids and now he's put them all in the spotlight. What a worm.
