Fox News Host Bill O'Reilly went through a bitter and nasty divorce, and Gawker has dug up and revealed all of the gritty details.
In a lengthy investigative piece on Gawker.com, writer John Cooks exposes just how ugly the divorce was explaining how O'Reilly tried to annul his marriage to his ex-wife and get her kicked out of the Catholic Church.
"Gawker has learned that McPhilmy has been formally reprimanded in writing by her church for continuing to take communion in her Long Island parish despite having been divorced and remarried-a no-no according to the Pope," writes Cooks. "The reprimand also instructed her to stop telling her children that her second marriage, to the Nassau County detective O'Reilly tried to destroy, is valid in the eyes of God. It warned her that if she didn't comply, harsher measures may be in order," he continues.
According to the website, after the controversial TV host separated from his ex-wife Maureen McPhilmy in 2010, he also tried to destroy the career of the police detective that she was dating. He used his connections at the Nassau County Police Department in Long Island, NY to launch an internal investigation into his ex-wife's boyfriend for the crime of sleeping with his wife.
In addition, O'Reilly attempted to control his children which he shared custody with by buying off the woman who was appointed to be a neutral arbiter of his and his wife's disputes. He hired the woman, who was a Long Island licensed social worker named Lynne Kulakowski, to work in his home basically as his children's nanny. In return, she received a six-figure salary.
