Legal representatives for the former CNBC anchor issued a sharp rebuttal on Friday, asserting they possess evidence and witnesses to refute claims of a firing. The statement characterizes the reports circulating in the media as a reckless disregard for the truth, threatening potential litigation. While Fox News Media confirmed the split in a brief public notice—thanking Bartiromo for her tenure—the network has remained silent regarding the specific circumstances or reasons behind the sudden exit.
Bartiromo served as a central figure across both Fox Business and Fox News, anchoring programs such as Mornings with Maria and Sunday Morning Futures. Her departure arrives under a cloud of ongoing legal pressure. She remains a named defendant in a high-stakes defamation lawsuit filed by Smartmatic USA, following Fox’s $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems last year. In that previous litigation, the network faced accusations of broadcasting false claims concerning the 2020 presidential election results.
