Several production insiders have pointed to Pirro’s escalating demands for more control over her segments, revealing that the host has become increasingly difficult to work with behind the scenes. “Jeanine wants to be in charge,” said one source.
“She feels like the network isn’t giving her the platform she deserves. She’s the face of Fox’s conservative brand, and she wants to make sure everyone knows it.”
Some media consultants noted the growing internal push for workplace wellness programs to reduce burnout among high-visibility talent.
Others raised flags about the financial risk of losing a top-rated host in the middle of ad revenue cycles — especially during Q3, a peak time for health insurance open enrollment, pregnancy-related insurance plan advertisements, and hospital cost indexing on digital ad platforms.
The Big Question: Will Pirro Stay or Go? As of now, the future of Jeanine Pirro on “The Five” remains uncertain.
While Fox News has tried to downplay the incident, the reality is that this public showdown has left the network with a difficult decision to make.
