Gawker Responds To Fox Threats With Photo Of O’Reilly And Topless Woman



Apr 13, 2012 51 Comments ›› Pat Dollard

The Cutline: The law firm Epstein Becker & Green P.C. has sent a legal threat on behalf of Fox News to Gawker Media publisher Nick Denton over his site’s ongoing “Fox Mole” story involving recently fired Fox News employee Joe Muto.

Gawker published the full letter, which states, “Be advised that Muto’s admissions are admissions of likely criminal and civil wrongdoing on both his and Gawker’s part, which will be the subject of further extensive investigation. Fox News will pursue its rights and remedies in the appropriate legal forums.”

The letter goes on to say, “Gawker should immediately stop publishing information and videos that have been unlawfully obtained by or from Joe Muto, and return them to Fox News.”

In response, Gawker not only published the letter but has posted a photo of “O’Reilly Factor” host Bill O’Reilly standing with a group of friends, including a topless woman.

Muto was fired less than 24 hours after publishing his first undercover dispatch on Gawker’s site. “Joe Muto is fired effective April 12,” a Fox News spokeswoman told Yahoo News on Wednesday. “Once the network determined that Mr. Muto was the main culprit in less than 24 hours, he was suspended late today while we pursued concurrent avenues. We are continuing to explore legal recourse against Mr. Muto and possibly others.”

    Is that the best they can do? How old would Mr. O’Reilly be at that time?

    I agree.  People need to grow up!

    Hair styles say this is a late 70′s or early 80′s photo .. so Bill’s like late 30′s early 40′s .. come on guys this is a cheap shot even for a tabloid.

    If the woman wasn’t there, I’d say, ahhhh, three homos at a pool party gurgling-away.

    its Gawker – so, calling it is cheap, low-brow tabloid garbage for neanderthals would be redundant

    the Left’s type of journalism…30 year old garbage that is recycled as a personal attack.  Hearst and Goebbels would be SO proud!

    That really is shocking! Standing three feet away from a topless woman and looking the other way! What was he thinking?

  • http://twitter.com/SaintRPh Matt Dawson

    Is Gawker trying to make O’Reilly popular? I don’t get it?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_VPZXYCU6GM2A2JSG5S66SPYC3U TyS

    At least he’s hanging around naked women, unlike the people at the alphabet networks, and in the Obama administration

    And how old is he here and why does this picture matter ? Bill has said often he was a character when he was younger.

    what’s so bad about this?  O’reilly isn’t running for President….So WTF cares ??

  • stevor

    Three guys and one woman. I’d worry more about what he’s doing in the pool with the two other guys. Maybe he’s like obama, the bisexual , “raised” pervert “uncle Frank”.

  • londondave

    That woman in an 1980 (?) photo looks like Stay At Work DC Power Lesbian HILARY ROSEN.

    Bill could be her beard. Or maybe the guy actually with the beard is.

    ADDENDUM

    Just heard that the guy with the beard is a pre-op Joy Behar.

    In the early ’70′s OReilly was a bouncer at the world famous Wreck Bar at The Castaways Resort in Miami Beach Florida. It was a wild, wild time then. I’m amazed there is only one woman in the picture!

    So a photo of a ‘normal’ Bill O’Reilly is supposed to cause him harm?  I guess in this new culture of LGBT dominance, a young man in the presence of a topless woman, with other friends in an obviously public setting, is supposed to show a tawdry and immoral existence?  What have we come to?  In the eyes of the ‘enlightened’ folks at Gawker, this photo represents damning and unacceptable behavior?  If I was Bill, I would thank them for reinforcing my character!

    Looks like a photo of a photo attached to a photo-album board hung on a wall. O’Reilly looks like he’s no more than about maybe 30-35 years old in that photo too which makes that picture what — about 30 years old? How terrible it is to be a young and virile man hanging out with friends and hot blonde chicks by bodies of water on a warm sunny day in the late 70′s – early 80′s.

    Oh the horror.

    Gawker is the ooze that you find under the pond scum at the bottom of the pond. The sheer desperation of the libtarded Left is palpable.

    He was a character a couple -three years ago-too, if you recall, with that ‘Payoff’ to that gal he phone sexed with?

    That was the time I started sniffing that douchebag out for his whole program, and the way he walks.

    Today, he’s just a tool of FOX, and the MSM.
    He doesn’t report shit, independently any more.

    He’s a douchebag.

    Yeah Ya right! What’s wrong with O’Rielly having a good ass time? I’m sure he may had drank the bong water to, and inhaled it!  Cheers to you Billy!

    A picture of Bill from about a million years ago. Not that it would really surprise me if it was more recent. Bill always struck me as a rascal.

    People need to chill Oreilly was a High School Teacher its probably just one of his Students no biggie

  • dennislippy

    Looks like he was having fun……..Wish I could have been there.

  • LOKI 2012

    Let me get this right…. Bill was in his late 20′s, single, at a pool or beach with his buds, most likely buzzed, with pretty naked women…. And I’m supposed to be mad or shocked?
      Hey gawker… I have a pic of me in the 80′s sitting in a hot tub with 6 naked college girls. I’ll sell you the picture..Make me proud.
