Geraldo Rivera is in a war of words with Cumulus Media and its new CEO Mary Berner — which he says will spill over into a lawsuit.
Rivera claims he’s been locked out of his studio at Cumulus’ WABC-AM after the company reneged on a contract extension he says he negotiated with a previous regime. Berner took over embattled Cumulus — the nation’s No. 2 radio broadcaster, with 454 stations in 90 markets — in September, after running Reader’s Digest. Modal Trigger Mary BernerPhoto: Getty Images
But sources close to Cumulus counter that new management at the radio broadcaster did offer Rivera a contract extension — but he rejected it.
In a scathing Facebook rant, Rivera wrote on Saturday of the dispute: “I’ll speak more about the shortcomings of the new Cumulus management as this bitter saga wears on, but trust me they have already cost their stockholders hundreds of thousands in lost ad revenue tied to my show. In locking me out of my studio as of last Friday even though my contract does not expire until December 31st and in refusing to honor the 2016 deal negotiated by the ousted [Cumulus vets Lew and John Dickey], they have breached my contract. That slight will not go unanswered.â€

LOLOLOLOL! Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy!
they have breached my contract. That slight will not go unanswered.
Dude, a slight won’t win a lawsuit for you...
So long jerry.
...legend in his own mind.
Shucks...I was hoping it was FOX who locked him out!
I bet his own dog tries to bite him when he goes home.
His studio is locked tighter than Al Capone’s vault.
Somebody owes me a bottle of champagne!
I had no idea Whorealdo was on the radio.
I didn’t even know Jerry Rivers had a radio show?
Good Riddins you Racist POS!
No “dispute”. He refused to work for the offer they made, so he’s done. Guess he thought it was a negotiation.

Yeah. He’s been doing radio ads for a New York urologist. Kinda fitting since he pisses me off every time I hear him.
Never make a handshake deal with someone who gets canned for bad management.
He will be missed by so very few. I am surprised this phony has lasted as long as he has.
One of the funniest things I have seen on Celebrity Apprentice is this one:

Geraldo is so full of himself - and it was on prominent display on Celebrity Apprentice.
He believes, whether true or not I don’t know, that he started the trend of selfies.
He should be doing ads for Preparation H.
Better call in The Donald.
He buys bad contracts.
Oh, wait, you hate The Donald?
Never mind.
His career is just about over, unfortunately FOX threw him a life preserver.
Seriously?
I think God has started answering some prayers!
