Yesterday, Bill O'Reilly filed a lawsuit against a former show producer claiming she attempted to extort him. The producer has accused O'Reilly of repeated sexual harassment, and she filed her own lawsuit against him later in the day.
The strange part of this to me is that O'Reilly filed his lawsuit first. The basis of his extortion claim is that the woman's attorney suggested that O'Reilly settle before she filed her suit. This is a common practice, and it will be very hard to make a case for extortion.
My guess is that O'Reilly, who I consider to be the bastard son of Morton Downey Jr., wants to generate some publicity as his newest book hits the shelves.
