Tucker Carlson is preparing to either work for or start a Fox News competitor, Axios reported Sunday, citing multiple unnamed sources close to Carlson.
"The idea that anyone is going to silence Tucker and prevent him from speaking to his audience is beyond preposterous," Bryan Freedman, Carlson's attorney, told Axios about the contract dispute with Fox News.
Since his unceremonious departure from the network April 21, Fox News has suffered plummeting ratings among key demographic segments alongside the continued ire of its viewers.
Freedman is a Hollywood heavyweight attorney who is also representing Don Lemon. Lemon was recently ousted from CNN, as TheBlaze reported.
Notably, Freedman secured a $30 million payout to former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, Business Insider reported. Kelly has vigorously defended Carlson on social media, and has openly named the individual at the network she believes is responsible for the recent leaks of Carlson's texts and behind-the-scenes video clips.
