Maria Bartiromo’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, Shared A Statement One Day After The News Broke
One day after news of her departure from the network, Bartiromo’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, spoke out. And in his statement, he also denied reports that she was fired
“For many years, Maria Bartiromo hosted three number-one-rated television shows on Fox channels. She has been, without question, one of the hardest-working journalists throughout her award-winning career,” the statement from Freedman read.
“The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false. 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. “
