Michelle Beadle’s time with SiriusXM has come to a close.

SiriusXM officially parted ways with Beadle and Cody Decker of the “Beadle and Decker” radio show on Thursday, according to The Athletic on Thursday.

“And we’d like to thank the callers who made the last couple of days an absolute blast!!” Beadle posted on X, confirming the news. “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! Drinks on me…@Decker6

The network’s decision comes just days after it decided to replace Beadle and Decker’s time slot with a show hosted by longtime ESPN anchor Stephen A. Smith, a move Beadle felt “blindsided” by.

During the show Wednesday, Beadle did not hold back when she opened the segment by acknowledging the network’s move.

“Welcome to the ‘Lame Duck and Who Knew?’ show here,” Beadle said as Decker yelled “fired” in the background. “All I ask is to be treated with respect,” Beadle continued. “Here we are, we’re going to do our shows because we’re contractually obligated to be here.”

Despite remaining mostly cordial during her show, Beadle was a lot more blunt with her thoughts when speaking to Front Office Sports.

“It’s a reminder: We’re just all pieces of s–t to someone. If you forgot, there it is,” Beadle said during an interview on Wednesday.

“’The Hollywood Reporter’ comes out — and there’s his face. I was like, ‘I should have known.’ That was just kind of gross. I don’t care that we’re being replaced or what have you. It happens all the time. But a little respect would have been nice. Good Lord. I was totally blindsided. Just really embarrassed, to be honest.”

Beadle, who left ESPN in 2019, then took some shots at Smith, saying that she had problems with the show “First Take” for years.

“I don’t respect his work. He doesn’t like me,” she said. “This goes back to the Ray Rice stuff. He made some really piggish comments on the air. I responded; he got suspended for like two weeks. I think that was sort of the beginning of the end for anything,” she said.

“I just don’t respect him. I think he gets things wrong all the time. I’m not talking about opinions; those can never be wrong. But factually, when you spread yourself so thin, it’s hard to be right. Not a fan.”
