Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson, former host at Fox News, has been accused by the network of breaching his contract by starting his own show on Twitter.

In a letter obtained by Axios, Fox News informed Carlson’s attorneys about the violation, citing the terms of the agreement which stated that his “services shall be completely exclusive to Fox.”

The letter quoted Carlson’s contract, explicitly stating that he was “prohibited from rendering services of any type whatsoever, whether ‘over the internet via streaming or similar distribution, or other digital distribution whether now known or hereafter devised.'”

This move comes after Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems reached a $787 million settlement earlier this year in a defamation lawsuit filed by the latter.

As a result, Fox News and Carlson decided to part ways.

On Tuesday, Carlson posted the first episode of his Twitter show, which focused on the recent destruction of the Nova Kakhova dam in Southern Ukraine.

He suggested that the incident could be attributed to a Ukrainian operation.

This letter sets the stage for a potential legal battle between Fox News and Carlson.

Responding to the network’s efforts to halt his Twitter show, Carlson’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, argued that it would infringe upon his client’s First Amendment rights.

“Fox defends its very existence on freedom of speech grounds.

Now they want to take Tucker Carlson’s right to speak freely away from him because he took to social media to share his thoughts on current events,” Freedman stated.

It remains to be seen how this dispute will unfold, as both sides assert their positions and potentially engage in a legal battle over contractual obligations and free speech rights.
