Television information legend Bill O’Reilly is back again on digicam — but not in the way he may well want.
The cantankerous veteran broadcaster, 72, was busted berating a JetBlue staff member at New York’s JFK Airport on April 3, with the incident caught on online video by an eyewitness.
The now-viral footage demonstrates O’Reilly aggressively swearing and pointing his finger at the male airline worker, in advance of stating: “You’re gonna reduce your occupation.”
In the moment-long clip, the previous longtime Fox Information scores chief can be found with his experience mask pulled down close to his chin as he speaks with the male at a ticket counter.
“What are you gonna do” … it is three hours late,” the khaki-clad commentator angrily states.
The pair have a again and forth trade, considerably of which is inaudible, prior to O’Reilly — who now hosts the “No Spin Information and Analysis” podcast — scolds: “Don’t f–king start, never f–king converse to me like that!”
“You’re threatening me with violence, person,” the unnamed JetBlue worker responds.
O’Reilly heatedly denies the assertion, snapping back: “No I’m not. You’re the one particular [saying] ‘I dare you … I dare you.’ Is that what you said to me?”
The a single-time anchor subsequently storms off, with fellow tourists found on the lookout puzzled by the altercation.
The bystander who shot the video clip told South West News Service: “I was so taken aback, I couldn’t consider how arrogant he was. That inadequate JetBlue dude just performs there, it’s not his fault the flight was delayed, he’s just making an attempt to do his position.
O’Reilly later explained in a statement that the flight was eventually delayed by five hrs, and that it was the airport employee who was arrogant — not him.
O’Reilly was Fox News’ major star just before a collection of allegations were being manufactured general public in 2017. It was documented at the time that the network had settled five lawsuits with girls who had accused him of sexual misconduct. Two of the satisfies were being for sexual harassment — costing the corporation close to $13 million.
He was ousted from Fox a shorter time after the scandals broke.
In the five several years due to the fact, O’Reilly has held chaotic producing textbooks. His forthcoming tome, “Killing the Killers,” is set for launch in May well.
In the meantime, JetBlue spokesman Derek Dombrowski reported that he could not comment on the altercation in between O’Reilly and the airline staff till he had witnessed the movie.
