Madeline O’Reilly Wiki: Early Life, Parents, Siblings, and Education
Madeline spent her childhood years in New York, with her younger brother, Spencer, who was born in 2003. Although her parents wanted her out of the public scene, she became involved in the media as her parents’ marriage began to dissolve, and Madeline was a part of the highly-publicized process, as one of the witnesses in court, having to testify against her father’s actions towards her mother. According to sources, Bill was accused of domestic violence several times, which eventually persuaded Maureen to divorce this famed television personality in 2011. The process was quite exhausting for Madeline as she had to speak about all the incidents she saw in her parents’ relationship, including how her father choked Maureen and dragged her down the stairs. Bill fought for the custody over Madeline and her younger brother, Spencer, but the children were eventually given to Maureen. When it comes to her education, Madeline hasn’t divulged yet which schools she attended, and if she’s entered any university so far. She has also remained quiet about her professional career, so at 20 years old, her net worth is estimated to be minimal.
