Bartiromo Lawyer Denies Firing Reports
4 Sep
Summary
- Maria Bartiromo's lawyer denies reports of her being fired.
- He states she is still an employee of the network.
- Threats of legal action are mentioned if false reports continue.
Reports surrounding the departure of Maria Bartiromo from her media roles have been challenged by her legal representative. Attorney Bryan Freedman has issued a statement asserting that claims of Bartiromo being "fired" are untrue and demonstrate a "disregard for the truth."
Freedman explicitly stated that Bartiromo "is still an employee at Fox," countering the network's prior announcement that she was "no longer with Fox News Media." He further warned that "receipts and witnesses" exist and will be presented, potentially through legal channels, to address what he termed "incredulous facts supporting that fiction."
A representative for the network responded to Freedman's statement by referring to its initial announcement as self-explanatory. Following the network's statement, former President Donald Trump publicly expressed his dismay over Bartiromo's announced exit, calling her a "total professional" and "true warrior."
Fox News Media had previously thanked Bartiromo for her 12.5 years of service and wished her well. The network also confirmed that her shows, "Mornings With Maria" and "Maria Bartiromo's Wall Street," would transition to new formats with rotating anchors.
