Anthony Scaramucci, the ousted White House communications director, on Thursday afternoon announced he will no longer speak publicly on Friday.

Scaramucci had told CNN on Wednesday that he would address the public on Friday in an online event. He said that the event will be available on several public platforms during the day with the help of former Fox News executive Bill Shine, per CNN.

Whereas on Tuesday, Scaramucci told the Huffington Post that he planned to “go dark” now that he was forced out of the White House.

He was asked to resign by John Kelly, the new White House chief of staff, on Monday after the New Yorker published a profanity-filled rant from Scaramucci about “leakers” and his former White House colleagues.
