As most of you know, Tomi Lahren was recently fired from Glenn Beck’s conservatively owned The Blaze. She was fired because of her quick change of position on abortion. It would have been fine if she hadn’t gone public with it but talking about your stance on The View is problematic. Frankly the whole thing is problematic and kind of annoying actually. People have been guessing that Lahren would be changing her tune to reach a wider audience anyway, which is also leading some to speculate that she’s really just in this for fame and money, not because she has ANY political view whatsoever. I think there happens to be a TON of truth to this.
As Lahren plans her next move, it turns out she might not be doing it with her 4.2 million Facebook fans which really catalyzed her fame in the first place. Normally this wouldn’t really be a big deal and frankly with Lahren it’s not, but I can tell you right now if I had 4.2 million fans taken away from me in the blink of an eye, I’d be pretty bummed too.
Sources familiar with the negotiations between Tomi and Blaze brass tell us she’s adamant about keeping her 4.2 million FB fans, but the company has other ideas. Fact is … TheBlaze owns her Facebook page … and honchos have flexed their muscles by cutting off access to Tomi and her team. There hasn’t been a single post since Tomi and Glenn Beck butted heads over her announcing on “The View” she was pro-choice.
We’re told Tomi believes she’s more marketable if she brings her Facebook followers to her next gig. As we reported, she has 6 months left on her contract and she’s currently negotiating a severance package which includes a payout and a possible time out where she can’t work anywhere else.
As someone who works on the internet I can tell you right now there’s NO WAY she gets those fans back from The Blaze. Ain’t gonna happen. But she’s Tomi Lahren. She won’t have a problem getting a new following.
