I thought after all the business of sticking vibrators up his ass and smearing falafels all over women’s breasts, he would have crawled deep under a rock to be with whatever clan of perverse gnomes he originally came from. ??? I heard about the falafel thing, what’s the deal with the dildo story, never heard of it. ---

In the original complaint, the woman Bill called said that it was clear that Bill was using one on himself as he talked. I don’t know how she knew that (I don’t want to know). The specificity of some of her claims and the fact that it all went away very quickly lead some to believe that she had tapes of the calls. ---

> [@madmonk28](#): > > … I don’t know how she knew that (I don’t want to know)… Research has shown that when a phone caller is indulging in self-directed perrying, they tend to be more sibilant on their “S” sounds, and speak with that distinct “honk” most commonly associated with natives of Long Island. I’ve personally found that this is most prevalent in uninvited and/or unwelcome telephone calls, and if you listen closely to these, you will soon pick up the knack of figuring out which of your porlocks are perrying as they speak. For instance, I’ve found a roughly 68% rate for Comcast “courtesy” calls. The rest are mostly speakers with a distinct Bengali accent who introduce themselves as “Chuck”. You’re welcome. ---

The specificity of some of her claims and the fact that it all went away very quickly lead some to believe that she had tapes of the calls. His own lawyer said in one of his filings that he believed Andrea Mackris had tapes and demanded that she turn them over. It’s also worth mentioning that O’Reilly never denied any of her allegations. There’s also a certain irony here in that Mackris’ allegations (the undenied allegations that O’Reilly’s lawyers said they believed were on tape) included O’Reilly bragging about cheating on his wife. So he’s not just an entitled asshole, he’s also a raging hypocrite. ---

And the colleague barfing after listening to his phone call. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bill-o-tries-to-sic-cops-on-wifes-alleged-boyfriend/594665.md?page=1)
