Ronna McDaniel, the former Republican National Committee chair, is reportedly exploring legal options after being abruptly fired by NBC News just days after her network debut. According to sources, McDaniel has met with prominent lawyer Bryan Freedman to discuss potential defamation and hostile work environment lawsuits against the network.
McDaniel, who was expecting $600,000 over two years from NBCUniversal, still hopes to receive the agreed-upon amount. Freedman, known for representing high-profile figures like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson, has been brought in to navigate the legal complexities of the case.
The decision to terminate McDaniel’s paid contributorship gig was made by NBCUniversal chairman Cesar Conde following widespread backlash from stars within the network. Employees of NBC News and MSNBC, as well as personalities such as Rachel Maddow, Joe Scarborough, and Mika Brzezinski, protested McDaniel’s hiring.
McDaniel’s only appearance on NBC while under contract was on “Meet the Press” Sunday, further highlighting the abrupt nature of her termination. Both Freedman and NBCUniversal have declined to comment on the situation.
The sudden firing of McDaniel has left many questioning the motivations behind the decision and has sparked speculation about potential legal action. As the situation continues to unfold, all eyes are on the fallout between McDaniel and NBC News. Stay tuned to Guam News Factor for updates on this developing story.
