Fox News Channel talk show host Bill O'Reilly has lost custody of his teenage children to his ex-wife, who has made domestic violence allegations against him.
A New York court has granted Maureen McPhilmy, to whom O'Reilly was married for 15 years, primary custody of their two kids, aged 12 and 16.
The appellate court ruling affirms an earlier ruling that granted McPhilmy primary custody in April of 2015.
The “preferences of the children” and the better “home environment” their mother could provide for them was the reason cited for the custody decision, although some suspect that allegations of domestic violence might have played a role in the ruling.
I am going to respect the court-mandated confidentiality put in place to protect my children and will not comment any further.
