As if disgraced former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly didn’t have enough scandal-ridden baggage to last a lifetime as it is, the Fox washup has now found himself once again on the receiving end of some serious backlash, after video footage was obtained and released by the Daily Mail, showing the staunch Trump ally screaming down, threatening, and cursing at an airline employee, all because his flight was delayed.
In the video footage, O’Reilly was seen at JFK International Airport in New York, angrily ranting and screaming at a JetBlue employee upon learning that his flight from New York to the Caribbean would be delayed for five hours.
The audio in the footage unfortunately does not capture the entire conversation between the former Fox talking head and the airline employee, but it does clearly pick up one portion in which Bill can be heard calling the worker a “f*cking scumbag.”
The airline representative pushes back as O’Reilly screams them down, firing back, “You’re threatening me with violence, man.”

“No, I’m not,” O’Reilly screamed back at the employee before literally threatening, “You’re going to lose your job.”
The JetBlue passenger who filmed the confrontation spoke with the Daily Mail and said he was sickened by the incident he witnessed.
“I couldn’t believe how arrogant he was,” the passenger told the publication. “That poor JetBlue guy just works there, it’s not his fault the flight was delayed, he was just trying to do his job.”
Bill O’Reilly was infamously ousted from Fox News in 2017 in a cloud of shame and disgrace following multiple high-dollar settlements by the network in connection to numerous sexual harassment lawsuits filed against him.
But, of course, that did nothing to stop ex-President Donald Trump from going on a massive, multi-state rally tour with the guy late last year.
