Megyn Kelly says Tucker Carlson is not fired from FOX

The American conservative journalist and media personality claimed in her recent show that the most popular face of TV Tucker Carlson is "not fired" from Fox. He still needs to negotiate the exit, he is not free to launch a podcast or digital show or negotiate with other employers at all because he is still under contract."

Kelly continued, "They pulled his show off the air, they also fired his executive producer Justin Wells, and though he try to find out why, they would not tell him." "They refuse to tell him why, to me, that's so disheartening, he'd been at the company for years, he'd been in the Prime Time for seven years and saw Fox News through one of the most difficult times in its history," she added.

'He doesn't get to say goodbye'

Kelly went on and explained, "The immediate era Post Roger Ailes where they didn't know left from right, they really didn't have a strong management leading the company and they have lost two of the biggest stars Bill O' Reily and me." She added, "So.. Tucker takes over it's a huge order you know that he was given and he did it he smashed the ball out of the park. And he took a lot of risks, he was heterodox, he pushed against the orthodoxy on so many different things and typically Fox News liked that."

She questioned, " Why now? What was it that led them to treat their number one star with such disdain?" The host continued, "I mean dripping disdain to the point where he can no longer access his email, he doesn't get to tell his own team, he doesn't get to say goodbye, I mean it's absolutely disrespectful to him."

'They bought his silence'

The Internet quickly reacted to Kelly's comments. A user tweeted, "So that’s another way to control free speech." Another user said, "They bought his silence." A fan asked, "Can't he just create his own independent show even when his contract with Fox is still active? I'm sure he will have big support." Another user who believed the Fox News host is sacked wrote, "He has been fired. Just cause they still have to work out the details doesn't change that." "Does Fox really believe viewers will keep tuning in???" questioned another person.
