*Sheesh, who saw this coming? Or put another way, how did it come to this? We thought they were made for each other, as far as ideology is concerned.
Ahh, but the bottom line is 24-year-old conservative hottie Tomi Lahren is taking her former employer, The Blaze, and its founder Glenn Beck to court for wrongful termination.
The lawsuit comes in the aftermath of Lahren acknowledging being pro-choice on an episode of “The View.” This, according to a complaint first reported by the Dallas Morning News. Lahren’s show was suspended indefinitely the Monday after making those comments.
Specifically, according to Lahren’s suit, Beck and The Blaze knew about her pro-choice views before her public comments and never took issue with them. The lawsuit also claims that a Blaze producer accompanied Lahren to the “View” set and “applauded” her appearance.

However, The Blaze – according to TheWrap – canceled Lahren’s show almost immediately after she made the comments, according to the lawsuit, “presumably hoping they could find an exit strategy to sanitize their unlawful conduct” until Lahren’s contract expired September 30.
The suit also alleges that Lahren’s bosses ordered her to stay silent on social media, where she has over 4 million followers. Lahren’s work email was deactivated and coworkers taped an “X” on her dressing room door, the lawsuit also claims.
Lahren’s suit is asking the judge to grant a temporary restraining order, which would allow her to speak freely and prevent The Blaze from destroying any evidence related to her suspension. She is also asking for attorney’s fees and costs and any and all other relief to which she might be entitled.
Meanwhile, The Blaze told the Dallas Morning News on Friday that Lahren had not been terminated.
“It is puzzling that an employee who remains under contract (and is still being paid) has sued us for being fired, especially when we continue to comply fully with the terms of our agreement with her,” a Blaze spokesman said.
The Blaze spokesperson also said Beck would not comment directly on the suit.
