The news media landscape experienced a major shake-up in April when it was announced that Tucker Carlson was dismissed from Fox News after nearly 14 years with the network. After the news broke, speculation quickly began to arise in regard to the reason for the conglomerate’s decision and what the political pundit himself might do next. When it comes to the latter, we now know for sure that Carlson is planning a new show, one that’ll see him move away from the 2023 TV schedule and on to Twitter. Plans seem to be underway for the new production but, in the meantime, his legal team is accusing Fox of fraud.
His legal team reportedly sent a letter to the news conglomerate before the 53-year-old media personality announced his upcoming show, according to Axios. The conflict specifically revolves around Tucker Carlson’s contract with the company, which he’s reportedly still being held to. Said agreement, which runs through January 2025, includes a non-compete provision that would prevent him from starting another gig. As part of the deal, Carlson will also continue to be paid by his former employers.
