| Tomi Lahren Settles Lawsuit Against The Blaze and Glenn Beck | | Conservative television host Tomi Lahren has settled her wrongful termination lawsuit against former employer Glenn Beck and his media network, The Blaze. The 24-year-old TV personality claimed that she was fired from her job, in part, because she made pro-choice comments while a guest on ABC's "The View." Lahren was countersued by Beck who claimed she "had a long track record of insubordination." The settlement releases her from her contract with The Blaze and allows her to continue her social media accounts that were started under the network, but other details of the settlement have not been disclosed.
