Bill O'Reilly Denies Domestic Violence Allegation

Bill O'Reilly

FNC's Bill O'Reilly is denying allegations surfacing Monday that he physically abused his ex-wife.

The Fox News Channel star issued a statement to The Hollywood Reporter through his personal attorney that reads: "All allegations against me in these circumstances are 100 percent false."

The allegations come by way of Gawker, which said Monday it learned of details surrounding a bitter three-year custody battle between O'Reilly and his former wife, Maureen McPhilmy.

"I am going to respect the court-mandated confidentiality put in place to protect my children and will not comment any further," O'Reilly said through his attorney, Fred Newman of Hoguet Newman Regal & Kenney.
