Bill O'Reilly: can I pay you off?

from the New York Daily News

Bill O'Reilly (sic) accuser turned down $2 million to make her sexual harassment complaint disappear, sources told the Daily News. Lawyers for Fox News had proposed the $2 million settlement to Andrea Mackris and her lawyer Benedict Morelli, sources at Fox told The News. The negotiations took place days before Mackris filed her suit. But Mackris and Morelli thumbed their noses at the money, the sources said, and suggested that $60 million was a more appropriate starting point. "When Benedict Morelli demanded $60 million, that was the end of any discussion, period and absolutely," said a Fox spokesman.
