So she’s currently making $15M/yr at Fox. When her contract expires in July, Fox has an offer on the table to increase her salary to $20M/yr. No other network wants her, and she’s toxic to a large segment of Fox’s audience.
If the info in this article is substantially true, and Fox wanted to keep her, they could offer to renew her contract at a reduced salary of $10M/yr and it would be the best offer she’d get anywhere.
Why is Fox offering her more money, rather than less? Makes no sense.
Maybe Fox doesn’t want to take the chance that she might bail on them. In this case, I could see them offering her more money.
