In a moment that has rocked FOX News and captured national attention, Jeanine Pirro has reportedly issued a fierce ultimatum to the network: either she stays, or Jessica Tarlov does.

The tension, long rumored to be simmering behind the scenes of *The Five*, finally erupted after an intense on-air exchange between the two co-hosts.

Pirro, known for her unapologetic conservative stance, clashed with Tarlov during a heated debate, and the confrontation escalated rapidly.

Sources close to the production say Pirro felt personally attacked and accused Tarlov of holding a deep-rooted bias against Republicans, culminating in her dramatic demand.

The moment that pushed Pirro over the edge reportedly came during a discussion about former President Donald Trump.

Tarlov criticized Trump’s character, calling him selfish and divisive, which provoked a strong response from Pirro.

She fired back, defending Trump while accusing Tarlov of pushing a partisan narrative.

As the conversation spiraled out of control, Pirro exclaimed in frustration, “You hate them personally!” — a statement that stunned both the audience and her fellow panelists.

The atmosphere in the studio became increasingly tense, and soon after, Pirro made her ultimatum clear to network executives behind the scenes.

FOX News’ response to this behind-the-scenes drama has not been made public, but internal sources say the network has no plans to immediately remove either host.
