O'Reilly set up by sluut: Sex Accuser's Friend: O'Reilly Was Set-up Fox News Channel star Bill O'Reilly was set-up by sexual harassment accuser Andrea Mackris, according to a former friend of Mackris who owns a Manhattan restaurant where she regularly let her hair down. The revelation comes from Upper West Side restaurateur Matthew Paratore, who told the New York Post on Monday that he eventually had to ban Mackris from his establishment for loud, lewd and indecent behavior a few months ago. Wonder if Teresa was banned for same? But before the two had a falling out, Paratore claimed Mackris detailed her plans to take O'Reilly out. And O'Reilly's lawyer Ronald Green claims Paratore told him that the disgruntled Fox producer planned a kiss and tell book that would "take down Bill O'Reilly and Fox News." "She spoke to a well-known publisher in January this year. She was told it had to have more impact, she had to do more to make the book more interesting and exciting," Green told the New York Daily News. Adding a political twist to the plot, Paratore claimed that Mackris had once dined in his establishment with O'Reilly nemesis Al Franken. The restaurateur said Mackris told his staff that she and Franken "share a common political belief" which was contrary to O'Reilly's. Paratore also cast doubt on the Fox producer's claims that O'Reilly sexually harassed her by repeatedly "forcing" her to engage in what Mackris termed "phone sex." "From what she told me, I wouldn't characterize it as phone sex," he told the News. "This was not harassment. It was very clear to me that this was their little banter back and forth. This was their game or something." "She loved the guy. She admired him, She respected him," Paratore told the News. He said she began confiding in O'Reilly after her relationship with her fiancé unraveled 2002. "From one of those conversations grew a relationship where they would have more intimate talk over the phone," he contended. O'Reilly's lawyer was more graphic, telling the Post that Paratore's story included the claim that a boozed-up Mackris once boasted she was going to bed O'Reilly - along with Paratore himself. "If you think I'm going to f - - - Bill O'Reilly, I'm going to f - - - you even more," she allegedly blurted out.
