<p>Fox News sent Tucker Carlson a cease-and-desist letter after the network&#8217;s former primetime host began broadcasting a new series of monologues on Twitter, Axios <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/06/12/fox-letter-tucker-carlson-twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on Monday.</p>
<p>Last week, the network accused Carlson of breach of contract after he posted his first &#8220;Tucker On Twitter&#8221; 10-minute spot to the social media platform, which garnered roughly 115 million views. His second episode amassed nearly 55 million.</p>
<p>Axios reported the letter states in bold letters, &#8220;NOT FOR PUBLICATION,&#8221; and that Fox continues to pay Carlson and that his content remains exclusive to Fox until his contract expires on Dec. 31, 2024.</p>
<p>The legal action taken against Carlson comes on the heels of Carlson&#8217;s producer, Justin Wells — also an ex-Fox employee — teasing a new &#8220;Tucker on Twitter&#8221; episode focused on his response to the federal indictment of former President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Harmeet Dhillon, one of Carlson&#8217;s attorneys, said in a statement that the network is attempting to censor her client until after the 2024 presidential election.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fox News continues to ignore the interests of its viewers, not to mention its shareholder obligations,&#8221; Dhillon told Axios. &#8220;Doubling down on the most catastrophic programming decision in the history of the cable news industry, Fox is now demanding that Tucker Carlson be silent until after the 2024 election.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Tucker will not be silenced by anyone,&#8221; she added.</p>
<p>Dhillon further <a href="https://twitter.com/pnjaban/status/1668214452054028288" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Twitter — post-Axios report — that the latest move from Fox serves as an example of why she personally stopped appearing on the cable news network.</p>
<p>&#8220;For all the friends who have been asking &#8216;why don&#8217;t we see you on Fox anymore?&#8217; — This is why,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I am passionately committed to free speech and a free flow of information necessary for a free society.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Until Fox stops trying to silence Tucker, it&#8217;s not a place for me. And I feel for my friends working at the network which has clearly caved into pressure from some quarter to silence @TuckerCarlson,&#8221; her tweet continued. &#8220;What you are seeing on Fox today is a censored version of the news. Keep that in mind as you make your viewing and your commenting choices.&#8221;</p>
<p>After network officials initially accused Carlson, the former host claimed it was Fox News that breached its contract, and he also accused the network of fraud.</p>

<p>Carlson&#8217;s attorneys believe &#8220;Tucker on Twitter&#8221; does not fall under the Fox News contract controls because Twitter is not a direct competitor with the network, a source familiar with the legal team&#8217;s thinking told Axios.</p>
<p>&#8220;Fox defends its very existence on freedom of speech grounds. Now they want to take Tucker Carlson&#8217;s right to speak freely away from him because he took to social media to share his thoughts on current events,&#8221; Carlson&#8217;s other lawyer Bryan Freedman said in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fox-news-accuses-tucker-carlson-of-breach-of-contract-over-twitter-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>.</p>
<p>Fox News cut ties with Carlson in April, days after it settled a historic $800 million defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems.</p>
