In “news that will never affect any of our lives, ever” Tomi Lauren and The Blaze seemed to have settled their differences. You’ll recall that Glenn Beck ousted the former host of The Blaze for making comments on The View that she was pro-choice. Lauren then launched a lawsuit saying that she was wrongfully fired. Fast forward to today and it seems that the two sides have reconciled. According to CNN
“I am pleased to report that the parties have amicably resolved their differences,” Brian Lauten, Lahren’s attorney, said in a statement, adding, “Ms. Lahren is relieved to have this litigation behind her and she looks forward to connecting with her audience and fan base on the pressing political issues facing our country in the days to come.”
A spokesperson for The Blaze said in a statement that the company was “pleased to announce” that its relationship with the 24-year-old television host had concluded. Most of the details of the settlement were not disclosed, but Lahren’s lawyer said the agreement did not include a non-compete clause, meaning she is immediately able to begin work elsewhere.
“She is free to go,” Lauten told CNN. “She is no longer a clipped bird. She can fly wherever she wants.”
The deal also made Lahren the “undisputed owner” of her Facebook page – an issue that had been a sticking point for both parties. Lauten said Lahren will “promptly return” any “intellectual property” belonging to The Blaze that was posted on her page. He said such property mostly referred to video content copyrighted by the media company.
In the immortal words of Red from Shawshank Redemption: “Some birds weren’t meant to be caged, their feathers are too bright.” In this case our bird is a fake conservative who was drumming up emotions of the far right to get ratings only to eventually not be a conservative anymore so she could land a more mainstream job to increase her popularity.”
Yup, she’s a bright bird alright. Team Tomi!
