The outspoken conservative commentator, Tomi Lahren, is suing her former boss and workplace, Glenn Beck and The Blaze for wrongful termination, CNN reports.
The suit, filed in Texas Friday, alleges that Beck and The Blaze got rid of Lahren and her nightly talk show due to her making pro-choice comments on The View last month.

“I can’t sit here and be a hypocrite and say I’m for limited government but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies,” she said on the broadcast.
If you haven’t seen what Lahren said, check out her pro-choice statements below:
Lahren, who is a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump and arguably one the most notable names at The Blaze other than Beck himself, was suspended for a week following those comments.
According to the suit, Lahren then received a call from The Blaze that “her employment was terminated” and “she would have no more shows.”
“Lay down and play dead really isn’t my style. #FinalThoughts,” Lahren herself tweeted after the suit was filed on Friday.

A statement released by The Blaze said, “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.”
With Lahren filing the suit, social media jumped at the opportunity to respond. And with anything Tomi does, there are people in full support and others absolutely against it.

Tomi Lahren is suing Glenn Beck for publicly smearing her. She should sue for plagiarism. Smearing people for their opinions is her thing.

Tomi Lahren vs. Glenn Beck is really a Lex Luthor vs. Joker situation. Adversaries, but on the same moral plane.
