Michelle Beadle and Cody Decker have been fired by Sirius XM, a day after Beadle ranted on-air about Stephen A. Smith taking her job this September.

Sirius XM and the Beadle & Decker co-hosts have ‘parted ways’ as of Thursday night, as per Front Office Sports.

Beadle responded to the reports on X to confirm the news, saying: ‘And we’d like to thank the callers who made the last couple of days an absolute blast!! Truly. You don’t usually get such love on your way out.

‘Security usually walks ya to the door. You guys rule. 6 hours of how you felt. And you all were heard!’

Decker, meanwhile, said in a series of tweets: ‘Our listeners. My god. Just badasses. Unruly passionate badasses. So who’s drinking?’

Shortly after learning about the Smith deal, Beadle made no secret of just how angry she felt.

‘Yeah so the cat’s out of the bag, I guess we’re talking about it,’ Beadle told her audience. ‘We weren’t supposed to, just as a heads up.’

Although they knew they were on their way out, Beadle and co-host Cody Decker didn’t know they were being replaced by Smith until his interview with Sirius XM’s Howard Stern earlier in the day.

‘We were only given a few hours’ notice, but we weren’t told any details, we were promised that no details would be released. We didn’t even know who was taking our place in the lineup, just that it was going to be announced that a new show was being added.

‘Unbeknownst to us, “The Hollywood Reporter,” of course, had all the details,’ Beadle continued, referring to an article about Smith’s interview with Stern. ‘So it was a little embarrassing, I’m not going to lie. 

‘I’ve been in this business for 20-plus years, I’ve been treated poorly a couple times, this didn’t feel good, I’m not gonna lie.’

Smith recently signed a five-year, $120 million extension with ESPN, but told Stern he’d add a pair of SiriusXM shows to his already busy schedule beginning in September. One of those gigs will be replacing Beadle & Decker.

Beadle previously had a couple of stints at ESPN, one of which she thought was cut short because she’d angered LeBron James.
