“Non consensual” sexual relationship? What is that rape? He forced her to have an affair?
On Saturday, spokesman Mark Fabiani released a statement on behalf of O’Reilly (see below) which includes a sworn affadavit by Wiehl.
Wiehl states that the allegations made in her draft complaint were “resolved” and that “I would no longer make the allegations contained in the draft complaint.”
“I never mistreated anyone,” O’Reilly told the Times in response to their report.
He added that the attacks on him were “politically and financially motivated.”
O’Reilly said he settled this case and others because “I’m not going to sit here in a courtroom for a year and a half and let my kids get beaten up every single day of their lives by a tabloid press that would sit there, and you know it.”
