Former Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean took a swipe at her longtime employer on Tuesday after Andrew Cuomo, a public nemesis of hers, appeared on the network.
Dean officially retired after 22 years with Fox News in late June as she continues to battle multiple sclerosis, having taken time off to attend to her health in late 2025.
Dean became well-known during the Covid pandemic for her fierce criticism of then-New York Governor Cuomo (D). Dean’s in-laws died in the Spring of 2020 after Cuomo issued an executive order forcing elder care facilities in the state to accept Covid-19 patients.
“It’s been four years of trying to get answers, accountability, apologies, investigations, answers for the thousands of elderly that died,” Dean said on the 4-year anniversary of their deaths. “This is Thanksgiving, and we’re missing two seats at the table again, and it’s frustrating to know that he is going to run for office without having to really answer questions about his deadly leadership, about his failed leadership.”
On Tuesday, a social media user reached out to Dean, writing, “@JaniceDean WHAT A SLAP IN THE FACE TO SEE CUOMO ON FOX THIS MORNING! I’m Sorry!”
She replied, “Yup. Not surprised at all. Grateful I’m not there.”
Another user added a reply, saying, “I cant stand Fox…a bunch of phonies..you and I disagreed a couple times when you worked there and I criticized them …im glad we’re on the same page now.”
Dean responded, writing, “I’m free now.”
“Someday I’ll tell you all the story of how I was banned to talk about Andrew Cuomo after I spent years speaking out about what he did to seniors during COVID,” she later posted to her feed.
“I have many, many, many stories. Sometimes I can’t believe the stuff I’ve been through. But I’m free now,” she added, hinting that she plans to spill some dirt in the future.
In a later exchange, another user wrote, “When he was running for Mayor of NYC and FOX was basically endorsing him I thought WTH…what about Janice?!?!” Dean replied, “Yes. Muzzled.”
