Jaw-Dropping Reason Fox Abruptly Fired Trumpy Star Revealed
Fox News fired one of its top stars due to a shady betrayal.
Maria Bartiromo, 58, was fired from the network on Thursday because she had informed the White House about Fox’s secret instructions to not promote President Donald Trump’s election conspiracies on the air, according to Status.

The particular incident happened in July following the president’s primetime address to the nation, in which he claimed that China had interfered in the 2020 presidential election.
Status reported that Fox News had issued written instructions to senior employees to steer their coverage of Trump’s address away from his false claims, which the network largely abided by—to the White House’s surprise.
However, the outlet said Trump or a White House official pressed Bartiromo about the lack of coverage of Trump’s claims, and she revealed that her bosses had ordered the claims not to be covered.She even shared the text message that relayed the network’s guidance with the White House.
Disclosing the network’s confidential information violated her employment agreement, Status reported.
The Daily Beast has reached out to Fox News for comment.
The bombshell update comes only hours after Fox announced Bartiromo’s departure from the network without explanation.

“We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 and a half years and wish her all the best on her next chapter,” the network’s terse statement read.
Since the announcement, Bartiromo’s presence on the network has been scrubbed clean—with Fox Business Network already taking down her contributor page.
The former host’s slate of programs have all been renamed and shifted to other anchors.
Mornings with Maria is set to become Mornings with Fox Business, while Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street will become FBN’s Wall Street and will be hosted by Cheryl Casone and other rotating anchors.
