Maria Bartiromo Breaks Silence After Fox News Departure

Maria Bartiromo, the longtime Fox News and Fox Business anchor, broke her silence on September 10, 2026, one week after the network announced her departure. In posts on X and Instagram, Bartiromo thanked her supporters for an "outpouring of love" and shared a photo of a rainbow, adding "More to come." She did not address the specific reasons for her exit. Fox News Media had announced on September 3 that Bartiromo was "no longer with the company," effective that day, after more than 12 years with the network. The company thanked her for her work and wished her well. Fox immediately rebranded her programs, with "Mornings with Maria" becoming "Mornings with FOX Business" and "Maria Bartiromo's Wall Street" becoming "FBN's Wall Street." Her Sunday show, "Sunday Morning Futures," was placed under temporary hosts. The circumstances of her departure are disputed. Bartiromo's attorney, Bryan Freedman, stated that reports she was fired are "absolutely and unequivocally false" and threatened legal action, saying, "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses." Fox News has not publicly detailed the reasons for the split.
