Fox News confirms long-time host Maria Bartiromo is departing the network, as executives roll out temporary replacements for her three popular shows.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Our original reporting included reports that Bartiromo may have been fired. We have received a statement from Bartiromo’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, dispelling those rumors.
Bartiromo stated, “For many years, Maria Bartiromo hosted three number-one-rated television shows
on Fox channels. She has been, without question, one of the hardest-working journalists throughout her award-winning career. The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false. Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise. Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth.“
