Who Got Fired?
Fox News’ The Five is a popular show, but who got fired? Read on to find out!
Bob Beckel
Bob Beckel was one of the original hosts of Fox News’ The Five, but he was fired in 2015 after making racially insensitive remarks to an African-American maintenance worker at a New York City building.
Eric Bolling
Eric Bolling was let go from Fox News’ The Five on September 8th, 2017, after an investigation found that he had allegedly sent lewd photos to female colleagues.
Kimberly Guilfoyle
Kimberly Guilfoyle, co-host of Fox News’ The Five, has reportedly been fired from the network.
According to Page Six, Guilfoyle was let go on Friday after she reportedly failed to disclose a potential conflict of interest.
The outlet reports that Guilfoyle is in a relationship with Donald Trump Jr., and that she is “actively discussing” joining his father’s 2020 presidential campaign.
Guilfoyle joined The Five in July of 2011, and has been a co-host on the show ever since.
Andrea Tantaros
Andrea Tantaros is a conservative political commentator and former television host. She is a co-host of the Fox News Channel program The Five. On April 25, 2016, it was announced that Tantaros was “taken off the air” and would no longer be appearing on The Five or any other Fox News Channel program; her bio was also removed from the show’s website. She filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Fox News in August 2016, and subsequently left the network.
Why They Got Fired
It’s no secret that Fox News is a pretty conservative network. So when one of their most popular shows, The Five, let go of not one, but two of it’s hosts, people were wondering why. Some say it was because they were too critical of President Trump, while others believe it was for financial reasons. Let’s take a look at the events leading up to their firing.
Bob Beckel
Bob Beckel was one of the hosts on Fox News’ The Five, but he was let go in 2015 after he made racist remarks to an African American employee.
Eric Bolling
On Friday, Aug. 5, 2017, it was announced that Fox News had officially severed ties with talk show host Eric Bolling. The move came amid allegations that Bolling had sent unsolicited photos of male genitalia to multiple female colleagues at Fox News and Fox Business over the years.
Bolling released a statement shortly after the news broke, saying that he “greatly appreciated” the opportunity he was given at Fox News but looked forward to “clearing my name.” He has retained an attorney and plans to sue both the reporter who broke the story and Huffington Post, which published it.
Kimberly Guilfoyle
Kimberly Guilfoyle, co-host of Fox News’ The Five, has been let go from the network, a person familiar with the matter told CNNMoney.
Guilfoyle’s departure comes as she is being considered for the job of press secretary in the Trump administration, sources said.
Officials at Fox News and 21st Century Fox, its parent company, declined to comment on Guilfoyle’s departure.
“I am thanking God for His many blessings and looking forward to what lies ahead,” Guilfoyle said in a statement to CNNMoney.
Andrea Tantaros
Andrea Tantaros was a co-host of Fox News’ The Five. In 2016, she was let go from the show after alleging that she was the subject of sexual harassment by then-Fox News CEO Roger Ailes.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it is difficult to say who got fired from Fox News’ The Five. While some sources suggest that Bob Beckel was the one who was let go, others say that it was Andrea Tantaros. However, the truth is that we may never know for sure who was fired and who wasn’t.
