Maria Bartiromo spoke out after Fox News announced that she was leaving the network. The longtime anchor shared a message with her fans on Thursday, exactly one week after the network announced it was parting ways with her. Bartiromo thanked supporters for their kind messages, writing on social media, "Thank you to all friends and followers for your amazing words; I am so grateful for the outpouring of love." She also shared a photograph of a rainbow, adding, "I love you all. Here is a great shot of the sun breaking through that I snapped the other day. More to come."
Fox announced Bartiromo's departure on September 3, concluding a tenure of over 12 years with the network. The channel did not disclose the reasons behind the split. However, Bartiromo's attorney subsequently refuted reports of her being fired, maintaining that documentary proof and witnesses corroborated their stance.
Bartiromo first rose to prominence during her stint at CNBC before joining Fox in 2014, where she hosted several programs and interviewed Donald Trump on multiple occasions. Following news of her exit, Trump lauded her work, calling her "a true warrior."
Bartiromo has not yet announced her future professional plans, but industry insiders speculate she is weighing multiple high-profile offers from rival networks and digital platforms. Her next move is anticipated with great interest by media analysts and viewers alike.
