For someone who calls himself a “journalist,” Bill O’Reilly has proven to be quite litigious lately.
First, he evidently goaded Fox News into suing – and losing the case against – Al Franken over his book which derides the right wing and entities like Fox News for being their political mouthpiece. Now, being accused of sexual harrassment, he decides to hit back hard against the accuser with a suit of his own:
In an aggressive preemptive strike filed today in New York State Supreme Court, O’Reilly names Fox associate producer Andrea Mackris and her lawyers as defendants in the action, which charges them with extortion, infliction of emotional distress, and wrongful interference with contractual relations.
“Infliction of emotional distress?” Oh, boo hoo, Bill. Now you know how I would feel if forced to watch your mouth flapping on TV.
