Sharyn Alfonsi says CBS story dispute is behind her '60 Minutes' exit

Longtime "60 Minutes" correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi's time at CBS News is over after nearly two decades, and she said an editorial dispute over a December story on the Trump administration's enforcement of immigration procedures is the reason why.

The TV journalist's contract with the network expired over the weekend, following nearly 20 years at CBS News and more than a decade at "60 Minutes," she confirmed in a statement shared with theLos Angeles TimesandPeople.

"Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives," she said in a statement, the LA Times reported. "The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over."

USA TODAY reached out to representatives for CBS News and Alfonsi for comment.

Sharyn Alfonsi accused network of pulling story in 'political' decision

The segment at the center of Alfonsi's reported comments, "Inside CECOT," examined the infamous anti-terrorism prison in El Salvador. Human rights groups condemned the maximum-security facility for its dangerous conditions, and the prison hasserved as a symbolin PresidentDonald Trump's controversialimmigration enforcement.

A CBS spokesperson said the story was halted because it needed additional reporting. The segment eventually aired on Jan. 18 with added comments from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, details of the criminal records of those deported, and additional reporting on one with tattoos, the network said in a statement shared with USA TODAY.

Alfonsi, 53, said in an email to multiple news outlets, including Reuters, that she learned that CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss cut the segment not because of an editorial decision but "a political one."

"Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices," she wrote in an email, People reported. "It is factually correct."

Alfonsi said viewers were expecting the story in December after days of promotion and that the "public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship," according to a note she sent to "60 Minutes" staffers,Yashar Alireported. "We are trading 50 years of 'Gold Standard' reputation for a single week of political quiet."

Barry Manilow Says Coming Out When He Rose to Fame 'Would Have Killed the Career'

Barry Manilow told the Los Angeles Times that coming out in the '70s or '80s would have "killed the career"

NEED TO KNOW

• Manilow came out in a PEOPLE cover story in 2017

• The singer-songwriter married Garry Kief in 2014

Barry Manilowthinks his career may have looked different had he come out sooner.

In 2017, the "Copacabana" singercame out as a gay in a PEOPLE cover story. At the time, he revealed he privately married his longtime manager and partner Garry Kief in 2014.

In anew interview with theLos Angeles Timespublished on Wednesday, May 27, Manilow was asked if he thought the world looked at him differently since he came out.

"It was a non-event. Nobody gave a s---," Manilow, 82, said.

"They all knew. I never really hid it, but in the ’70s and ’80s, that would have killed the career, and I didn’t want to do that. So I just never talked about it," he added.

In his2017 cover story with PEOPLE, Manilow opened up about his fear of disappointing fans.

"I thought I would be disappointing them if they knew I was gay. So I never did anything," he said at the time. "When they found out that Garry and I were together, they were so happy. The reaction was so beautiful — strangers commenting, ‘Great for you!’ I’m just so grateful for it."

Manilow and Kief have been together as a couple for more than 47 years. In March, Manilowcaught up with PEOPLE once againand said that he felt like "a very lucky guy that he has chosen to share his life with me."

In November, Manilow wasdiagnosed with stage 1 lung cancerand subsequently underwenta lobectomyto remove the diseased part of his left lung. He's been recovering in the months since and continues to appreciate the little moments with Kief.

"We still laugh, and we don’t get bored with each other. It’s a great life," he said. "Two guys in a house on a hill with two dogs that we love — that’s us. I’m very grateful."

In a 2024 interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, Manilow said it was a "burden" to keep his sexuality a secret.

“I didn’t want my career to go away. I love it. I’m grateful for it. But it was a burden to keep it quiet,”Manilow told the outlet. "I was always worried. Every interview: ‘They’re going to ask me whether I’m gay or not.’ Nobody ever did, by the way. They never asked me the $64 question."

Manilow's set to release his next album,What a Time, on June 5.
