ACCORDING TO FORBES, CARLSON WAS MAKING AROUND 20-MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR HOSTING FOX’S HIGHEST RATED SHOW “TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT”. CARLSON ABRUPTLY EXITED THE CHANNEL IN APRIL. HIS DEPARTURE CAME SHORTLY AFTER PARENT COMPANY FOX CORP SETTLED A 787-MILLION DOLLAR DEFAMATION LAWSUIT IN WHICH CARLSON WAS INVOLVED. FOX IS CONTINUING TO PAY CARLSON, AND MAINTAINS THAT HIS CONTRACT KEEPS HIS CONTENT EXCLUSIVE TO FOX THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2024.
IN A STATEMENT TO AXIOS, CARLSON’S LAWYER SAID QUOTE “FOX NEWS CONTINUES TO IGNORE THE INTERESTS OF ITS VIEWERS, NOT TO MENTION ITS SHAREHOLDER OBLIGATIONS.”
ANOTHER ATTORNEY FOR CARLSON SAID ANY LEGAL ACTION BY FOX NEWS WOULD INFRINGE ON CARLSON’S FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
