Even though Fox Corporation spent an unnamed sum of money to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit stemming from the behavior of on-air personality and longtime contributor George “Tyrus” Murdoch, the company continues to reward the former pro wrestler and flagrantly anti-LGBTQ commentator with more opportunities.
The most recent opportunity is a new show associated with OutKick, which is owned by Fox Corp., called Maintaining with Tyrus, in which Tyrus interviews figures “in the sports, entertainment and pop culture spaces.” If Tyrus’ March 17 interview with Bryan “Hotep Jesus” Sharpe, who is best known for promoting antisemitism and offering misogynistic dating advice, is any indication, the show is already on its way to becoming a home for bigotry and conspiracy theories.
