Geraldo Rivera claims he left Fox News after being sacked from 'The Five.'

Geraldo Rivera, a television veteran, announced his departure from Fox News on Thursday after being sacked from the show "The Five."

"I'm not going to be on 'The Five,'" Rivera declared in a video shared on Twitter about the network's 5 p.m. discussion show. "I've been fired from the Five". "As a result of that," Rivera stated in the video, which was shot from a boat off Long Island's Jones Beach.

Since joining the right-wing network in 2001, Rivera has stated he will "have more to say" on Friday morning's "Fox and Friends" programme.

A Fox News spokesman stated in a statement on Thursday that "we reached an amicable conclusion with Geraldo over the past few weeks and look forward to celebrating him on Fox & Friends Friday morning, which will be his last appearance on the network."

The news comes a little more than a week after Rivera indicated that his tenure as one of the co-hosts of "The Five" who leans left might be coming to an end. But Rivera declared at the time that he would continue working for the network as a general reporter.

His resignation comes after conflict with network star Greg Gutfeld, who scolded Rivera in April after the latter tweeted in the wake of Tucker Carlson's termination that the latter's conspiracies regarding the January 6 attack on the US Capitol were "bulls**t." Gutfeld was referring to the attack on the US Capitol as the "conspiracy theory" of the century.
