Tomi Lahren has settled her wrongful termination lawsuit against Glenn Beck and his media outlet the Blaze, freeing her from her contract with the conservative news outlet.
Under the settlement, Lahren would be released from her employment contract, which was set to expire in September. She will also be allowed to seek employment with direct competitors for the Blaze.
In exchange for being freed from her contract, Lahren has agreed to “promptly” return the Blaze’s “intellectual property” that was posted to the Facebook page, including videos that were produced by the Blaze. Many of those videos were Lahren’s most popular posts, some garnering over 60 million views.
“Ms. Lahren is relieved to have this litigation behind her,” Lahren’s attorney Brian Lauten said in a statement. “She looks forward to connecting with her audience and fan base on the pressing political issues facing our country in the days to come.”
In response, a spokesperson for the Blaze said the organization was “pleased” to announce it had concluded its relationship with Lahren and that she will continue to have access to her social media accounts “as has always been the case.”
Beck was expected to testify in the case Thursday in which Lahren claimed his company violated her contract when it cancelled her show, “Tomi,” after she expressed support for abortion rights during a March appearance on “The View,” but will no longer have to appear in court now that the suit has been settled.
“I am someone that loves the Constitution. I am someone that is for limited government. So I can’t sit here and be a hypocrite and say I’m for limited government but I think that the government should decide what women do with their bodies,” Lahren said during an appearance on “The View.” Comments that sparked uproar in conservative circles.
Other details of the settlement remain confidential.
