Tomi Lahren Sues Glenn Beck For Wrongful Termination
Tomi Lahren was booted from Glenn Beck‘s The Blaze after she came out as pro-choice on The View.
Now, the right’s infamous online icon is suing, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Lahren has filed a wrongful termination suite against Beck and The Blaze. Per the Dallas Morning News:
According to Lahren’s suit, filed Friday in Dallas County, The Blaze cancelled Lahren’s show after she made the controversial statement on The View. But The Blaze wanted to keep paying Lahren, the suit says, “presumably hoping they could find an exit strategy to sanitize their unlawful conduct” in breaking Lahren’s employment contract, which was to continue through Sept. 30.
In the suit, which you can find here, Lahren alleges that Beck made a big deal out of her comments to improve his own “mediocre following.”
She rocketed to fame a little over a year ago after some of her show’s “Final Thoughts” segments went viral online. Her program aired on The Blaze, which Beck founded. A few years after the creation of his site, he left (or was forced to leave, depending on who’s telling the story) Fox News. Since, he has scarcely been in the news himself.
We are standing by for a quote from Beck’s reps and will update when we get it.
This is a breaking news post and will be updated as more details become available.
