Mackris left Fox for CNN, but in April 2004 her boss was fired for sexual harassment -- whereupon, according to the complaint, she received a phone call from O'Reilly, who suggested they have dinner to discuss her professional future. Mackris agreed, but on condition that the talk be strictly professional. When Mackris, over dinner, reminded O'Reilly that he had engaged in inappropriate conduct with other women who worked on his show and said he should be careful or they might tell someone, O'Reilly "vehemently threatened with words to the effect": "If any woman ever breathed a word I'd make her pay so dearly she'd wish she's never been born. I'll rake her through the mud, bring up things in her life and make her so miserable that she'll be destroyed."

O'Reilly allegedly went on to say that anyone who crossed Fox News would have other enemies, and made ominous predictions about a dire fate awaiting political satirist Al Franken, who had tangled with O'Reilly and Fox. "If you cross Fox News Channel, it's not just me, it's Roger Ailes who will go after you...The person gets what's coming to them but never sees it coming. Look at Al Franken, one day he's going to get a knock on his door and life as he's known it will change forever. That day will happen, trust me."

The complaint then alleges that on August 2, 2004, "after interviewing two porn stars on 'The O'Reilly Factor,'" O'Reilly telephoned Mackris at her home. Apparently "excited," O'Reilly allegedly "launched into a vile and degrading monologue about sex." He told Mackris to buy a vibrator and name it, saying he "'had one shaped like a little cock with a battery in it' that a woman had given him. It became apparent that Defendant was masturbating as he spoke. After he climaxed, Defendant O'Reilly said to Plaintiff, 'I appreciate the fun phone call.'"

A month later, O'Reilly allegedly called again. "Defendant O'Reilly [said] he was watching a porn movie and babbled perversely regarding his fantasies regarding Caribbean vacations because, purportedly, 'Once people get into that hot water they shed their inhibitions, you know they drink during the day, they lay there and lazy, they have dinner and then they come back and fool around...that's basically the modus operandi."

O'Reilly then allegedly launched into a lengthy fantasy featuring a loofah mitt.

"...you'd definitely get two wines in you, as quickly as I could get into you I would get 'em into you, maybe intravenously, get those glasses of wine into you," the complaint quotes O'Reilly as saying to Mackris. "You would basically be in the shower and then I would come in and you would have your back to me and I would take that loofah thing and kinda' soap up your back...rub it all over you, get you to relax, hot water...and um, you know, you'd feel the tension drain out of you and uh you would still be with your back to me then I would kinda' put my arm -- it's one of those mitts, those loofah mitts you know, so I got my hands in it...and I would put it around front, kinda' rub your tummy a little bit with it, and then with my other hand I would start to massage your boobs, get your nipples really hard...'cuz I like that and you have really spectacular boobs...

"So anyway I'd be rubbing your big boobs and getting your nipples really hard, kinda' kissing your neck from behind...and then I would take the other hand with the falafel (sic) thing and I'd just put it on your pussy but you'd have to do it really light, just kind of a tease business..."

"During the course of Defendant Bill O'Reilly's sexual rant, it became clear that he was using a vibrator upon himself, and that he ejaculated. Plaintiff was repulsed."

The complaint then asserts that "immediately after climaxing," O'Reilly began boasting about how good he was during a recent appearance on "The Tonight Show." He allegedly concluded the phone call by saying, "You know Mackris, in these days of your celibacy and your hibernation this is good for you to have a little fantasy outlet...I'm trying to tell you, this is good for your mental health."
