Statement from Ronald Green, Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.
Thursday October 28, 6:41 pm ET

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 2004--The Parties regret that this matter has caused tremendous pain, and they have agreed to settle. All cases and claims have been withdrawn and all Parties have agreed that there was no wrongdoing whatsoever by Mr. O'Reilly, Ms. Mackris, or Ms. Mackris' counsel, Benedict P. Morelli & Associates. We now withdraw any assertion that any extortion by Ms. Mackris, Mr. Morelli, or Morelli & Associates occurred. Out of respect for their families and privacy, all Parties and their representatives have agreed that all information relating to the cases shall remain confidential.

Weak, if true.

Yeah. Saw it about a half hour ago.

Too bad. I was looking forward to seeing that smug son of a bitch get dragged through the mud.

You're a very kind and caring individual.

Nooooo, now we'll never Save the Tapes !

 

[ShadowRed]

Now watch him pull that same BS line that he blasts other about when they settle out of court. "I didn't do anything wrong I just wanted it all to go way. I'm innocent."

 

[xexex]

Big fucking rolleyes here.

We now withdraw any assertion that any extortion by Ms. Mackris, Mr. Morelli, or Morelli & Associates occurred.

Likewise.

What a disappointment.

You're a very kind and caring individual.

Metatron probably is. He just wants the fucking bastard to get what he deserves.

You're a very kind and caring individual.

Bad things happen to bad people.

Will Fox actually cover the case now? *rolleyes*

 

[doncale]

no, the Cox Fools Network, which is unfair and unbalenced, who tells you that We Report, You Comply, will not cover this in any meaningful way.

and no, the C__t News Network won't be any better.

 

[Outlaw Pro Mod]

They've covered it since day 1......

I'ma slimeball and i'm gonna shove it so far down your throat you won't be able to talk

O'Reilly had come out with his lawsuit first on Wednesday, accusing Mackris and lawyer Benedict Morelli of seeking "hush money" during negotiations over the past few weeks. Mackris then immediately filed her harassment claim.

O'Reilly faces a tough legal hurdle with his own case, since the law generally protects employees from retaliation if they come forward with an abuse allegation, said Debra Katz, an attorney who specializes in sexual harassment cases for Bernabei & Katz in Washington.

"I think this is a crazy legal strategy," Katz said. "But I think they made the decision that the press strategy is more important here."

Ya don't say.

It's been really nice seeing people frequently making fun of O'Reilly on (late night) television shows.

 

[impirius]

Everyone should watch MSNBC this hour... Keith Olbermann offered Macris $99,000 of the money he got when he was let go from Fox if she'd give him the tapes, since they're the "pop culture equivalent of the Watergate tapes". I can't wait to see how he reports this development.

Unless they're rich and powerful enough to settle.
