When the divorce was underway, Madeline even vouched of the domestic violence her mother had suffered while she was married to ex-husband Bill.
During the divorce trails, teenager Madeline told a court-appointed forensic examiner that she had seen her father choking and dragging her mother down the staircase by her neck.

The brutal divorce dragged Madeline and her sibling into the Nassau County Supreme Court for 3 years during the custody battle between their parents.
The 'absentee father,' as Madeline referred to Bill, lost the case and the court granted her loving mother custody of Madeline O'Reilly and her brother Spencer O'Reilly.

At present, Madeline is living a quiet life with mom Maureen E. McPhilmy and step-father Jeffery Gross.
After the end of an almost-18-year-long marriage, Madeline's mother decided to leave her torturous past behind and married husband Jeffrey Gross. Maureen dated the detective of Nassau Country Police Force prior to tieing the knot with him.

The marriage wasn't the first one for Gross either. He was previously married to late Kathleen McBride. Gross's former wife had died in 2006 due to cervical cancer. Gross has two children from his first marriage.
Even though Bill was unhappy about his ex-wife's new marriage, his daughter Madeline seems to be happy for her mother. Madeline resides with her mother, step-father, and step-siblings in a mansion in Manhasset, a New York Island, that is worth $4 million.
The estimated net worth of Madeline's father Bill is around $85 million. However, the net worth of Madeline's mother Maureen is still unknown. However, it can be easily assumed that even Maureen' net worth is millions of dollars.
Bill O'Reilly's net worth is the result the money that he has earned in from his career as a journalist and television host of shows on broadcasting networks such as the Fox News Channel, which he left amid sexual harassment scandals in 2017.
In addition to being an anchor, Bill is also a well-received author of several books including the New York Times bestseller Killing Patton, published in 2014. The earnings from his book sales have also added to his net worth.

We hope that the trauma of the past won't have negative effects on her future. We wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.
