Viewers who tuned in to Fox News expecting another energetic debate on The Five got far more than they bargained for—an on-air confrontation so intense, it left jaws dropped and producers scrambling behind the scenes.
The shocking moment came when co-host Jessica Tarlov and Greg Gutfeld exchanged words during a heated segment about the upcoming election. But what started as a fiery political debate quickly spiraled into a personal war of words that left the studio in chaos.
The camera tried to cut away—but not before viewers caught a split second of what came next.
According to multiple sources close to production, Tarlov stood up and threw her earpiece, demanding producers “cut the mic” and accusing Gutfeld of “gaslighting” her in front of America. What happened off-camera was even more shocking.
