Overview
- Fox News Media posted a brief public thank-you in early September announcing Bartiromo’s departure after she had not appeared on the network since Aug. 9.
- Bartiromo’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, publicly denied that she was fired and called reports she no longer worked at Fox “absolutely and unequivocally false,” according to NPR.
- A later report by the Daily Beast says Fox executives were upset after Bartiromo allegedly shared confidential network information with President Trump’s White House, and Axios reported Trump once sought her for press secretary before she declined.
- Fox reworked programming after her exit by rotating anchors, renaming two of her shows and using Larry Kudlow as a temporary on-air fill-in.
- Most recent coverage reports Bartiromo sold her Upper East Side townhouse for $7 million two months after leaving Fox and that she is scheduled to appear at the America Business Forum in Miami in mid-December, signaling continued public activity.
