Maria Bartiromo is formally challenging claims that she was dismissed from her roles at Fox News and Fox Business, with her legal team labeling the reports as entirely fabricated. In a statement issued on Friday, her attorney asserted that Bartiromo remains an active employee and condemned the media coverage surrounding her departure.<\/p>\n
“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,” the statement read. The attorney added that the network and those reporting the story have shown “complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth,” promising that evidence and witnesses will be presented to prove her status.<\/p>\n
Despite the legal denial, Fox News Media had announced on Thursday that Bartiromo was parting ways with the company. A spokesperson declined to comment further on Friday, directing inquiries to an earlier press release which thanked Bartiromo for her 12-and-a-half years of service without citing specific reasons for the split. Several outlets have since reported that the separation stems from alleged policy violations, though these claims have not been officially substantiated by the network.<\/p>\n
Bartiromo, a former CNBC anchor, was well-known for hosting “Mornings with Maria” on Fox Business, the Friday program “Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street,” and Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.” Her career at the conservative powerhouse also intersects with significant legal challenges, including her role as a defendant in the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit. That case, which alleged Fox made false claims about election rigging in 2020, was settled for $787.5 million in 2023. Bartiromo also faces similar defamation allegations in an ongoing lawsuit filed by Smartmatic USA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
