Bill O’Reilly Wages Holy War Against Ex-Wife
Read Time:2 Minute, 9 Second
Bill O’Reilly wants his ex-wife to go to Hell. Literally. The Fox News Anchor, known for his explosive temper and slippery persona, is trying to manipulate the system in order to win a child custody battle with his ex-wife, Maureen McPhilmy, from whom he separated in 2010.

Here’s some other salacious tidbits:
- McPhilmy’s Long Island parish (she’s Catholic) has reprimanded her for divorcing O’Reilly and marrying her detective boyfriend. The church warned that she can’t tell her kids that God approves of her second marriage. Gawker notes that O’Reilly gave over $65,000 to New York Catholic schools and parishes in 2011 and carries influence with the archdiocese.
- O’Reilly is trying to annul his 15-year marriage to McPhilmy. Gawker snidely presumes that this would validate his 2004 escapade with a former producer who filed sexual harassment charges against him.
- An appellate court has ordered an independent attorney to represent O’Reilly and McPhilmy’s children, a sign that things are getting “particularly poisonous,” notes Gawker.
As previously reported, the Fox News falafelist became separated from his former wife at some point in 2011, and later went on an apparently corrupt crusade to destroy the career of the Nassau County detective she was dating.
It is now confirmed that O’Reilly and McPhilmy have been formally divorced, that she has since married the detective, and that O’Reilly is in the midst of a scorched-earth custody battle—dubbed, appropriately enough, Anonymous v. Anonymous—over the ex-couple’s two children. It involves a surreptitious attempt by O’Reilly to undermine his custody arrangement by hiring, as a member of his household staff, the woman he and his ex had agreed on as a neutral arbiter of their disputes. It also involves O’Reilly’s attempts to annul his marriage and have McPhilmy potentially booted from the Catholic Church.
It’s getting pretty hot in O’Reilly’s kitchen, then again when the devil is cooking the eggs, that comes as no surprise.
We contacted Fox News, O’Reilly’s attorney, Kulakowski, and Greenfield for comment; none did. No surprise there dudes.

Since when was O’Reilly NOT trying to wage war?
Who he? Soz. English. Do I want to know?
Bill O’Riley is a pompous a$$ with sharp rocks roling around in his brain that just make him a very mean man; that’s why Fox News hired him. Fox News is all about the shock, mean spirited, left wing, lie to the public and sway the vote, at any cost, kinda B.S. He’s just a good old boy, from the Jim Crow era.
Karen G,
You have a way with words. “Rocks in his head” becomes “sharp rocks rolling around in his brain…” Love it.
Couldn’t agree more Karen!!
THIS is the guy that says trad marriage is under attack, trying these kind of stunts. If there was ever any guy in need of a good shake to knock some sense into him, it’s this guy. So the wife gets to have communion refused to her, for getting a divorce but he is okay to get it, I see, well then carry on, O’reilly, carry on making it so much easier for people to dislike you and what you stand for.
Nothing would would serve him better than to be smacked to the ground and be trampled down a bit.
This blog tool needs a “like” button. 🙂
LOL…yes it does Jim.

This is humorous in that judges just LOVE bullies who attempt to settle legal disputes in the media. Should work out well for him, don’cha think?
No surprise here. O’Reilly thinks he’s God so he can tell the Catholics what to do. Asshole.
This guy represents FOX News right well I think. What a nasty freaking guy.
