Geraldo Rivera told the AP that he quit Fox News’ The Five because there was “a growing tension that goes beyond editorial differences and personal annoyances and gripes.”
“It’s not worth it to me,” Rivera said.
He said that he planned to stay at the network as correspondent at large through 2025.
During his tenure on The Five, Rivera has sparred with Greg Gutfeld, and he told the AP that he had been suspended a handful of times, including in early May after he tweeted criticism of Tucker Carlson, whose show had recently been dropped by the network.
