According to Lahren’s lawsuit, filed Friday in Dallas County, her show was canceled after she made comments on the ABC talk show indicating her pro-choice beliefs.
However, The Blaze wanted to keep paying Lahren, the lawsuit says, "presumably hoping they could find an exit strategy to sanitize their unlawful conduct" in breaking Lahren's two-year employment contract, which was to continue through Sept. 30, reports the Dallas Morning News.
The Blaze, however, said that she was not terminated.
"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," a Blaze spokesman said.
The spokesman said Beck would not comment directly on the suit.
Lahren is asking a judge to grant her a temporary restraining order, which would protect her right to speak freely as well as block The Blaze from destroying any evidence related to what transpired. She's asking for attorneys' fees and costs, "as well as all other relief ... which she may show herself justly entitled," according to the Dallas Morning News.
The suit also says that her former employer won't allow Lahren access to her Facebook page, where she has 4.2 million followers, which has "irreparably harmed" Lahren.
