Geraldo Rivera’s post-Fox tour made a stop Thursday night with former CNN employee Chris Cuomo.
Earlier in the day, Rivera appeared on “The View” to reiterate what numerous news outlets had already reported: that there was tension on the set of “The Five.”
Rivera stated that he had a “very toxic relationship with another of the cast members” on “The Five,” but he declined to name any names.
Cumo asked Rivera during his appearance why he departed Fox. Rivera responded that the situation was actually reversed, according to NewsNationNow.
Stop trashing Jesse Watters, Greg Gutfeld and Tucker Carlson. Can't you retire with a little bit of class?

“Fox left me. They fired me from the number one rated show ‘The Five.’ After they fired me, I said, ‘Well, wait a second. You know, I don’t want to work here anymore.’ If you are firing me from the number one show, what are you going to do?” he asked, according to Deadline.
“After they fired me, they gave me a plethora of options, other programs I could do … but I said, ‘No, I don’t want to do that,’” Rivera said, according to NewsNationNow.
Although Rivera promoted his appearance on social media, some said they would be able to refrain from viewing, writing, “I will not be seeing this;” “You’ll fit right in there;” and “I’ll pass.”
I'll pass
