Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci served up some late night Twitter fire, ripping New York Post gossip queen Emily Smith and her infamous tabloid team at Page Six.
“Ugliest person there is on the inside. A person with no morals or journalistic standards,” Scaramucci tweeted late Thursday evening, along with a grainy image of Smith. “Living off of others [sic] people’s pain. @PageSixEmily beware! She will stop at nothing to hurt innocents. Especially your children.”

“The face of a vicious lowlife animal trying to destroy my family. @OriginalFresca @PageSixEmily it’s time to fight back,” he added, throwing in Page Six writer Francesca Bacardi. “@PageSixEmily @OriginalFresca enjoy family break ups and children having to be raised separately and Co-parented. It must be miserable.”

The Mooch’s ire was likely stirred by Page Six revelations that he had been in “an ‘intimate’ conversation Thursday” with Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle. In the past, the column has reported on speculation of an affair between Scaramucci and Guilfoyle amid marital problems between Scaramucci and his wife Deidre Ball.
In an interview earlier in the day, Scaramucci told TheWrap that he was trying to repair his marriage after initially filing for divorce last summer.
Trump is known to regularly read the New York Post and once regularly graced its gossip pages decades ago.
The Mooch versus Page Six flap got so intense that it generated a side spat between Scaramucci and Fox News contributor Geraldo Rivera.
“Be cool @Scaramucci Thick hide is the mark of a true tough guy,” said Rivera, a noted tough guy himself.

Scaramucci wasn’t listening to Rivera’s advice.
“I am not a tough guy Geraldo. There is a line and that animal crossed it.”

“Yikes bro she’s doing her job. She works for #PageSix not #Fortune,” Geraldo shot back.

“She isn’t doing her job. Get you compass back together. That is complete utter clickbait nonsensical trash,” Scaramucci responded.
