Fox News sent Tucker Carlson a cease-and-desist letter after the network’s former primetime host began broadcasting a new series of monologues on Twitter, Axios reported on Monday.
Last week, the network accused Carlson of breach of contract after he posted his first “Tucker On Twitter” 10-minute spot to the social media platform, which garnered roughly 115 million views. His second episode amassed nearly 55 million.
Axios reported the letter states in bold letters, “NOT FOR PUBLICATION,” and that Fox continues to pay Carlson and that his content remains exclusive to Fox until his contract expires on Dec. 31, 2024.
The legal action taken against Carlson comes on the heels of Carlson’s producer, Justin Wells — also an ex-Fox employee — teasing a new “Tucker on Twitter” episode focused on his response to the federal indictment of former President Donald Trump.
Harmeet Dhillon, one of Carlson’s attorneys, said in a statement that the network is attempting to censor her client until after the 2024 presidential election.
