Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci says he no longer plans to hold an online event scheduled for Friday.

"No Press Event Tomorrow: Focusing on Family, My Work in The Private Sector," he tweeted Thursday, saying he was "moving forward" and calling for followers to "stay tuned!"

Scaramucci had planned to host an online event Friday to address the public after his departure from the White House 10 days after he was hired.

His brief time at the White House ended Monday after John Kelly assumed the role of chief of staff.

Scaramucci's appointment to the White House communications office led to the resignation of press secretary Sean Spicer.

In the days before he left the White House, Scaramucci faced backlash after he delivered a profanity-laced tirade against then-White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and other aides during an interview with The New Yorker. Priebus resigned a day after the article was posted.
