Eric Bolling is alive and still working in conservative media; the main recent change is that he left his daily show on Newsmax in 2024 and has been shifting his focus to other platforms, including digital and new media projects.

Quick Scoop: What Happened To Eric Bolling?

From Fox News To Other Outlets

  • Eric Bolling first became widely known as a coā€‘host on Fox News shows like ā€œThe Fiveā€ and ā€œCashinā€™ In.ā€
  • In 2017, he left Fox News after an internal investigation by the network following reports that he had sent unsolicited lewd messages to female colleagues, allegations he publicly denied.
  • After Fox, he moved into other conservative media roles, including hosting shows for Blaze Media and Sinclair Broadcast Group.

The Newsmax Chapter ā€“ And Exit

  • Bolling later joined Newsmax, where he hosted a weekday show (ā€œEric Bolling The Balanceā€) and became one of the channelā€™s betterā€‘known personalities.
  • In June 2024, he exited Newsmax; the network confirmed his departure and quietly adjusted its schedule, prompting viewers to ask ā€œwhat happenedā€ when his show disappeared from the lineup.
  • Public reporting framed it as a parting of ways rather than a publicly messy firing, and there has been no credible reporting that he retired or left media entirely.

Personal Tragedy

  • In 2017, not long after his Fox News departure, Bollingā€™s 19ā€‘yearā€‘old son, Eric Chase Bolling, was found dead, a loss Bolling has later described as lifeā€‘altering and central to how he sees his work and public advocacy.
  • He has since spoken publicly about the dangers of opioids and about coping with grief, weaving those themes into some of his later media projects and public appearances.

What Heā€™s Doing Now

  • Bolling has remained active on social platforms (especially X, formerly Twitter) and has used them to push out clips, commentary, and promote new projects.
  • By 2025 he was involved with a ā€œcitizenā€‘poweredā€ media startup called Re:Public as a senior communications figure and partner, leaning into a mix of politics and audienceā€‘driven local news.
  • At the same time, he has been building a stronger digital footprint, including a YouTubeā€‘centered show and other online content, emphasizing that heā€™s trying to grow independent platforms outside traditional cable news.
