The league declined to further comment on the matter.

Asked in January about the lawsuit and its allegations, Fox Sports emailed a statement: “These allegations are from over eight years ago. At the time, we promptly hired a third-party firm to investigate and addressed the matter based on their findings.”

Bailey gives the last word on the matter to Iler, who played Tony’s son, Anthony Jr. “I hate to tell you: He’d probably hate your book,” Iler told Bailey.

In response to a request for comment from Salon, the school said in a statement: "The George Mason University student in question published an essay on social media calling for the killings of federal officials, which officials referred to university police for evaluation. Because of the student’s circumstances and the fact that the threats were directed at federal authorities and not the university community, the matter is outside the jurisdiction of university police. The department followed standard procedure by referring the matter to federal law enforcement for further evaluation."

He warned that he could refer the matter for prosecution — where Department of Justice officials would have to decide whether to take up the case.
