According to a report from The Daily Beast, Glenn Beck’s media company BlazeTV fired host Elijah Schaffer after he allegedly groped a colleague at the premiere of Uncle Tom II, a film Schaffer co-produced.
Late last month, BlazeTV tweeted a statement announcing Schaffer’s dismissal, saying his employment with the company had “been terminated for violating company policies and standards. In response, Schaffer tweeted “it’s been a long time coming”, saying it was “time for me to go back to being independent”.
Neither the company nor Schaffer have commented on The Daily Beast’s reporting at this time.
Schaffer and Beck had clashed previously before his ouster. In May, Schaffer said members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, of which Beck is a member, are “going to hell” because they are “not Christians”. Beck responded by asking “Assuming I’m one of the ‘many’ nice people, who the Lord has made clear to you is condemned, I just need to know if you still want a guy who is going to hell as a mentor?”
