Tomi Lahren Is Suing Glenn Beck And TheBlaze | HuffPost Latest News

Tomi Lahren has taken legal action against conservative host Glenn Beck for her recent firing from TheBlaze after she called anti-abortion conservatives hypocrites.

Lahren filed the wrongful termination lawsuit in Texas Dallas County court on Friday, the Dallas News first reported. Becks conservative news network dropped the 24-year-old firebrand commentator after she made pro-choice comments during a March appearance on The View.

Im pro-choice, Lahren said at the time, and heres why: I cant sit here and be a hypocrite and say Im for limited government but I think that the government should decide what women should do with their bodies.

Lahren seemed to reference the lawsuit on Friday in a defiant tweet:

Lay down and play dead really isn't my style. #FinalThoughts

Lay down and play dead really isn't my style. #FinalThoughts
Tomi Lahren (@TomiLahren) April 7, 2017

According to Lahrens lawsuit, a producer from The Blaze who traveled with her applauded her participation on The View. But the network changed its tune a few days later, when TheBlazes HR department contacted Lahren. She was suspended indefinitely and later fired, but continued to get paid, her lawsuit says.

As the lawsuit states:

Meanwhile, as [Lahren] heeded the unlawful admonitions, Beck and others within [TheBlaze] embarked on a public smear campaign attacking [Lahren] and chastising her political views and opinions in a clear attempt to embarrass, humiliate, and undermine [Lahren]s reach to her audience on social media and elsewhere. Beck and others associated with [TheBlaze] have continued to knowingly, intentionally, and/or consciously attack Plaintiff in wrongful retaliation for [Lahren] having expressed her personal viewpoint on a public television show ... Defendants acts were/are motivated by an unlawful animus and a specific intent to inflate Becks profile, from what has become a mediocre following, all at [Lahren]s expense.

Lahrens lawsuit claims her decision to express her opinion is not a for cause ground for suspension or termination. It also says Beck is known for berating, belittling, and acting in a condescending and heavy-handed way toward Lahren, who joined TheBlaze in 2015.

The suit also states that the defendants Beck and TheBlaze are refusing to give Lahren administrative control and access to her own official Facebook page, which they currently control. Lahrens page has 4.2 million fans and hasnt been updated since March causing irreparable harm, according to the suit.

After last night's speech it's safe to say OUR President Trump is indeed Making America Great Again. The radical notion Americans come first in our own damn country (established November 8th, 2016). I'll be on with @seanhannity tonight to discuss the speech! P.S. The hat is from @drunkamerica and it's my new favorite! #TeamTomi #godblessamerica #drunkAmerica
