Bill O'Reilly says the allegation that he physically assaulted his ex-wife is '100% false.'

"All allegations against me in these circumstances are 100% false," the Fox News host said in a statement to the On Media blog, issued through his personal attorney. "I am going to respect the court-mandated confidentiality put in place to protect my children and will not comment any further."

Gawker's J.K. Trotter reported Monday that O'Reilly had been accused of physical assault during a three-year custody battle with his ex-wife, Maureen McPhilmy. "A court-appointed forensic examiner testified at a closed hearing that O’Reilly’s daughter claimed to have witnessed her father dragging McPhilmy down a staircase by her neck, apparently unaware that the daughter was watching." Trotter's report cited "a source familiar with the facts of the case."

O'Reilly and McPhilmy were legally divorced in 2011. Their custody dispute ended three weeks ago, with McPhilmy winning custody of their two minor children.

*********

The man (Bill O'Reilly) has been caught lying so many times it is not funny, he tried to have phone
sex with a scared subordinate as he had a buzz toy up his backside, and now charges of being a
wife beater but still Fox will keep him on the air because of how he pushes the propaganda.

1. So he is saying his daughter is a liar?

She is the one who witnessed.

[SummerSnow]

4. I bet he'll say her mother brainwashed her

[onecaliberal]

6. He can say that but it won't fly

They usually take these allegations seriously and investigate. They could easily get to a kid to admit lying if that were the case. The mother own custody for a reason.

2. He has an alibi. He was helping Seal Team 6 kill Osama bin Laden.

3. "in these circumstances" n/t

[gratuitous]

7. That's a curious locution

I wonder what it means? It's the sort of nonessential qualifier that makes one wonder if it doesn't totally negate the sense of his denial.

9. It definitely feels like a back door to me. I suppose it could really mean anything...

or be just meaningless enough to, like you said, nullify the entire statement.

12. In "other circumstances"

might not be "100% false" (i.e. assault occurred in different circumstances)?

[UTUSN]

5. If I've said it *once*... He's DEEP into denial, is a 1950s White male, repressed & oppressing,

full of verbal and emotional abuse. I didn't add physical abuse before because there were no citations back then, but the verbal/emotional are minimally precursors of the physical if not totally accompanying, which we now can say they were. We're not in court, so we can skip the "presumed to be innocent" part.

8. which of course means that it is 100% true.

[Paulie]

10. Just like the loofa story was 100% false

[niyad]

11. he was innocent of the andrea makris thing too, right?

[pinboy3niner]

13. He said it can't be true because if it were true he'd falafel about it

[onehandle]

14. So it wasn't her mother he was dragging down a staircase by her neck?

Then who was this woman he was dragging down a staircase by her neck?

How many women has Bill O'Reilly dragged down a staircase by their neck?

Falafel Loofah needs to answer a lot of questions.
