Geraldo Rivera resigns from Fox News and says he was fired from ‘The Five’

Fox News roving reporter Geraldo Rivera, who recently revealed that he’s leaving his co-hosting party the fiveOn Thursday, he tweeted that he quit the conservative network because he was “fired” from the late afternoon panel show.

A bumpy day in the North Atlantic. Anyway, I got fired from @TheFive so I left Fox, Rivera books Along with a video of him boating. “23 years later tomorrow, Fox and Friends may be my last appearance on the network. Thanks for the memories.”

In the video, Rivera said, “I’m not going to participate the fiveThis week because he was “fired” from the show. Earlier this month, after announcing he would no longer be one of the show’s rotating “liberal” co-hosts, Rivera indicated that his final appearances would be on June 29 and 30.

“As a result, I left Fox. So, I’ll have more to say about that on Fox & Friends tomorrow morning. Thank you.”

Rivera told The Daily Beast Thursday night that his tweet “summed it up.” He added that he is “not mad at anyone” and is “looking forward to the next adventure”.

This latest announcement comes just days after he posted a shirtless selfie on Twitter and said he was “considering retirement”. He also indicated at the time that he was still “unsure of my next career move” and would announce on The Five whether he would stay at Fox “or do something else”.

It seems that he decided on the latter.

“We’ve come to a friendly conclusion with Giraldo over the past few weeks and we’re looking forward to celebrating with him tomorrow Fox and friends It will be his last appearance on the network, Fox News said in a statement Thursday evening.

After announcing his imminent departure from the five Last week, he said, “Being the odd guy out there isn’t always easy,” Rivera said The Associated Press insisted that it was his decision to leave Fox News’ most-watched show. At the same time, he added, Fox management “didn’t run after me to say, ‘Geraldo, please come back. ‘”

Rivera also admitted to the Associated Press that there was “a growing tension beyond editorial differences and personal annoyances.” As his 80th birthday approached, the longtime Fox personality also claimed that the show was no longer “worth it for me” because “it’s a very intimate place and it becomes very personal.”

Last month, amid frequent and increasingly bitter clashes with five Co-host Greg Gutfeld, Rivera grumbled that he was “canceled” from the show’s upcoming broadcast, adding that he was “sure there was a good reason.” The supposed cancellation came after Gutfeld publicly mocked Rivera for criticizing former Fox News star Tucker Carlson after Carlson’s ouster.

At the time, a Fox News insider told The Daily Beast that Gutfeld was likely responsible for Rivera’s May cancellations and reduced appearances on the show. However, other sources in the network dismissed this hypothesis and said that Rivera was never on the calendar in the first place.

In his interview with the AP, Rivera revealed that he has been suspended by Fox News several times, including last month. It also coincided with his criticism of Carlson, Gutfeld’s rebuttal, and the cancellation of his appearance the five In early May.

In recent months, his resurgence has appeared the five Dry, although he was presumably one of the regular “liberal” panelists on the programme. According to a search of the transcript, he hasn’t been on the show since May 24 and only appeared a few times before that because he publicly complained about being sidelined.

Rivera, who has been with Fox since 2001, was selected by the network early last year as one of three rotating co-hosts who will replace the five Longtime Progressive Committee member Juan Williams, who left months earlier. Incidentally, sources told The Daily Beast at the time of Williams’ departure that Gutfeld, who frequently sparred with the veteran Fox News contributor on air, had fired Williams.
