George Murdoch, known by his stage name Tyrus, has had a tumultuous career on Fox News and The Greg Gutfeld Show.
His career, which had gone from success in wrestling to becoming a popular host, was severely damaged by allegations of sexual harassment.
In this article, we will examine Tyrus’s tenure at Fox News and the effects of the controversies on him and the organization.
What Happened To Tyrus On Gutfeld?
Fox News decided to fire Tyrus from his show due to the claims of sexual harassment.
Britt McHenry, a coworker, made a serious accusation against Tyrus in 2018. She said he harassed her sexually by sending her suggestive texts and images.
The news shocked viewers, and the network took the matter seriously, launching an internal investigation.
Britt McHenry filed a lawsuit against both Tyrus and the network, leading to a legal battle that attracted significant attention.
Since 2016, Tyrus has contributed to several Fox News shows as a commentator. He and McHenry previously co-hosted Un-PC on the media outlet’s streaming service, Fox Nation.
After the controversy, the case was settled on undisclosed terms in 2021. Following this, Tyrus returned to The Greg Gutfeld Show as a regular panelist.
However, Britt McHenry chose to resign from both Fox News and Fox Nation, emphasizing her stance on standing up against sexual harassment.
Tyrus was most known for his career as a professional wrestler before he became a political commentator. Under the ring name Brodus Clay, the 46-year-old competed in the WWE from 2006 to 2014.
Tyrus was in TNA for over three years after being released from WWE. His final appearance for the company came in early 2018.
What Is Tyrus Doing Now?
After finishing his career as a wrestler, he is applying his voice and intellect to his new venture. “They asked me to do interviews with celebrities and have a conversation, but I’m not a journalist, I’m just happy to have conversations,” Tyrus said.
Net Worth Of Tyrus
Tyrus’s net worth is USD 5 million. With Fox News, he recently signed a five-year contract that will pay him $2 million annually.
Tyrus was once extremely wealthy and has made over $12 million from his wrestling career. But in the later stages, he wasted more than $7 million, (half of his net worth) to poker and gambling.
