Donald Trump and former Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes have had a falling out and are no longer speaking, Vanity Fair reported just hours before the final crucial debate of the presidential campaign.

The reason centers on Ailes' role as an adviser for Trump's debate prep, but specifics depend on which side you talk to, Vanity Fair reported:

  • From the Ailes side, advising Trump was a waste of time because Trump couldn't focus on debate prep.
  • From the Trump side, Ailes made it all about him when he was supposed to be helping the GOP nominee.

Ailes was ousted from Fox News after several allegations of sexual harassment, one of which led to the network's record $20 million settlement with Gretchen Carlson.
