O'Reilly-Mackris Lawsuit Is Over
Reported by Marie Therese - October 28, 2004 -
In tonight's Talking Points Memo (October 28, 2004), Bill O'Reilly made the following statement regarding the termination of the sexual harassment lawsuit recently filed by Andrea Mackris.
O'Reilly: I have something very important to tell you. All litigation has ceased in that case that has made me the object of media scorn from coast to coast. Today lawyers issued a statement saying there was no wrongdoing in the case whatsoever by anyone. Obviously, the words "no wrongdoing" are the key. On a personal note, this matter has caused enormous pain but I had to protect my family and I did. Some of the media hammered me relentlessly because, as you know, I'm a huge target as is FOX News.
All I can say to you is, please, do not believe everything you hear and read. The good news is the Factor viewers and listeners seem to have given me the benefit of any doubt, when some in the media did not. You guys looked out for me and I'll never forget it. This brutal ordeal is now officially over and I will never speak of it again.
