BREAKING NEWS: Jessica Tarlov’s Latest DRAMA on The Five—Unverified Claims, Musk Confrontation, and More!

The social media firestorm surrounding Jessica Tarlov escalated this week with a series of sensational, unverified claims that have left fans buzzing. On April 2, 2025, an anonymous post on X alleged that Tarlov was “taken off the set by Fox producers after a fight with Greg Gutfeld,” followed by another explosive post the next day that suggested Tarlov was “dragged off set” after a heated argument with Judge Jeanine Pirro. A third post even claimed that Elon Musk “flipped the script” on her during a Fox News interview. These posts quickly gained traction, leading to widespread speculation about The Five descending into chaos, with Tarlov at the center of it all.

However, these claims lack credible backing. No major outlets, including Fox News, Mediaite, or Yahoo, have reported any such incidents, and Tarlov’s official X account shows no mention of the events. In fact, Tarlov has been on maternity leave since mid-March 2025, after the birth of her second daughter, Teddy, in 2024. The timing of these rumors is highly suspicious—how could she be involved in on-set drama while on leave? The claims regarding Musk are equally dubious, as Musk appeared on Sean Hannity’s show on March 31, 2025—not on The Five with Tarlov.

Despite the dubious nature of these social media claims, Tarlov did have a notable on-air confrontation with Musk on April 2, 2025, during his appearance on The Five. Tarlov, ever the sharp interviewer, pressed Musk on his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts to agencies that oversee businesses he has financial interests in, like SpaceX and Tesla. Her pointed question put Musk on the spot, highlighting potential conflicts of interest as a White House adviser. The exchange, which saw Musk dodging the question, sparked both praise and criticism online, with some applauding Tarlov for holding Musk accountable, while others accused her of being “out of her depth” against the billionaire.

This clash with Musk added fuel to Tarlov’s reputation as a polarizing figure on The Five. Her liberal stance often clashes with her conservative co-hosts, resulting in fiery debates and dramatic moments. Past on-air confrontations, like her March 25, 2025, argument with Jesse Watters over the leaked Trump officials’ group chat, and her March 18, 2025, clash with Jeanine Pirro over immigrant deportations, have only intensified her position as a lightning rod.

While the latest drama may be largely unfounded, Tarlov’s role on The Five ensures that she remains at the center of attention—whether it’s for her heated debates or for the controversies that seem to follow her every move. As Tarlov remains on maternity leave, these rumors are likely a strategic attempt to amplify calls for her exit, capitalizing on her absence to stir the pot.

In the end, whether real or manufactured, the latest drama surrounding Tarlov only adds to her reputation as a fearless, yet divisive, voice in the conservative world of The Five. As she prepares to return to the show in the coming months, one thing is clear: the sparks will keep flying, and the drama is far from over.
