Maria Bartiromo lawyers up and says she still works for Fox News
Now represented by Bryan Freedman, Bartiromo says the reports of her firing are false.
Yesterday, Fox Business News anchor Maria Bartiromo was suddenly terminated from her 12 ½ year tenure at the network. However, it appears the reports of her dismissal may be unfounded. According to Bartiromo and her new legal counsel, Bryan Freedman, who has previously represented high-profile figures like Justin Baldoni and Chris Cuomo, the assertions that Bartiromo was fired or no longer employed by Fox are "absolutely and unequivocally false."
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Freedman described her as "one of the hardest-working journalists throughout her award-winning career."
Freedman's statement further asserts, "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise. Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth." This revelation is perplexing, considering Fox had previously expressed well wishes towards Bartiromo upon her departure. Bartiromo had not been on air for several weeks before the network made her termination public.
It is worth noting that during her final days on the network, Bartiromo was known for her propensity to delve into conspiratorial topics and was even named in lawsuits filed by voting machine companies against Fox News. The authenticity of the "receipts" and "witnesses" that Bartiromo and Freedman claim they possess remains to be seen, as we await their potential revelation.
