Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo is denying reports that she was fired from the news station.
Fox News announced Thursday that Bartiromo’s last day was Thursday, after the anchor had been with the network for more than 12 years. Fox News did not give a reason for her departure, but a report from Status claimed the Mornings With Maria anchor was ousted after she shared internal communications from Fox executives with the White House.
“Effective today, Maria Bartiromo is no longer with FOX News Media,” the network said in a statement Thursday.
However, Bartiromo has now retained attorney Bryan Freedman, who recently repped Justin Baldoni in his high-profile case against Blake Lively, as well as journalists Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo after their dramatic exits from CNN as well as Tucker Carlson’s exit from Fox and Megyn Kelly’s exit from NBC. Bartiromo’s attorney denies that she was fired and further claims that she is “still employed by Fox.” Freedman suggests they may pursue the matter in court.
