Tucker Carlson’s wife appears carefree day after Fox host was ousted

Tucker Carlson’s wife was seen walking her dog a day after news broke that her husband had been fired from Fox News after 14 years on the air..

Susan Andrews Carlson, 53, was seen wearing a pink and white shirt with a white and blue striped towel wrapped tightly around her waist on Tuesday. She protected her skin by wearing a large floppy hat as she walked her dogs on the beach near their multi-million dollar Florida home.

She was accompanied by a friend as they seemed to be talking as they crossed the sandy beach.

Her husband of 32 years, who was said to be “shocked” by the news of his shooting on Monday, was not out for a walk.

Carlson and his wife met at a boarding school in Rhode Island and proposed in his final year of college, and married in 1991. They share four children together—Buckley, Dorothy, Lily, and Hopi.

They raised their children in Virginia, before buying properties in Washington, D.C. — which have since sold out after protesters hit their door in 2018, and in Maine and Florida. In 2023, they purchased a $5.5 million home on Gasparilla Island in Boca Grande, Florida, and adjacent property for $2.9 million.

Buckley went on to work in government, serving as an intern in the White House during the Donald Trump administration and as an employee at Jim Banks in Indiana.

The blinded Fox star was caught telling viewers, “We’ll be back Monday,” before signing Friday night.

Tucker Carlson, who was making upwards of $20 million a year for his prime time work on Fox News, was fired from the major news network by owner Rupert Murdoch.

Murdoch dropped the 53-year-old from his show Tucker Carlson Tonight just days after the network spent $787.5 million to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion — the company behind the systems voters used in the last presidential election.

While insiders say the lawsuit was central to his removal, Murdoch was understandably wary of Carlson’s public embrace of the notion that the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on Congress was government-instigated.

Analysts also suggest that his constant use of the word “c**t” may have played a role in his removal from the network.

Carlson wasn’t told why he was fired when he was called Monday by Fox CEO Susan Scott, who had just been told the decision was made “from above.” But insiders claim that Lachlan Murdoch delivered the verdict on Friday night.

He was ousted in part because network executives were angered by his harsh criticism of them in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, according to the Wall Street Journal — which Murdoch, like Fox, owns.

Carlson has divided opinion — and has come under fire from the left — while on air with his polemics on everything from the 2020 presidential election to the Black Lives Matter movement.

But he wasn’t always known as a divisive right-winger.

His professional career, which began in the mid-1990s, has included work for a wide variety of publications, including a long stint at CNN, and he is also the author of several books.

As a print journalist, he has written for publications including The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and Esquire. But, at the time, there were limits to who was willing to work for him.

In 1999, Carlson told how he feared he would be “dismissed from being winged” if he joined The American Spectator, a conservative magazine.

His television break came in 2000 when he joined CNN and co-hosted The Spin Room.

Carlson was known for his trademark tie. He started wearing a necktie in 1984 when he was a middle school student — and only dropped it in the 2000s after a stranger who objected to the garment “shouted obscenities” at him as he walked through Penn Station in New York.

In 2004, while hosting Crossfire on CNN, Carlson was impassioned by comedian and commentator Jon Stewart during a segment that was regularly drilled by Carlson’s critics.

Stewart accused the show and its hosts of “hurting America” ​​and mocked Carlson for his tie. He said, “You’re doing theatre, when you should be doing an argument, and that would be great.” What you are doing is not sincere. What you’re doing is partisan hacking.

Stewart also said that Carlson needed to go to journalism school. The shootout was stopped after several months.

Carlson also spent three years at MSNBC and appeared on Dancing with the Stars in 2006 before joining Fox News in 2009.

Here Carlson became a household name with Tucker Carlson Tonight, which became the network’s flagship show and often the highest-rated show on news cable television. In 2022, it will average around 3.3 million viewers per show.
