Allison Williams, a former ESPN sideline reporter who left the company because of her personal view about the COVID-19 vaccine and requirement to be vaccinated, has landed a new job. She and her husband are planning to have a second child.
Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro announced on his show Friday that the company has signed Williams to lead a special sports series that will be available exclusively for Daily Wire members.
Williams also released a statement about the move:
“The Daily Wire is one of America’s fastest-growing media companies and I am thrilled and honored to join them. I am proud to be a part of a company that fights for our rights and I cannot wait to bring agenda-free sports reporting to the Daily Wire’s members and millions of followers,” Williams said in a statement. “Leaving ESPN was one of the most difficult decisions of my career, but it was the right thing to do. I respect people who choose to get the COVID-19 vaccine, but it was not the appropriate medical decision for me at this time. No one should be forced to choose between their livelihood and the freedom to make their own health care choices—it is simply un-American.”
Earlier, Williams was also on The Megyn Kelly Show to discuss leaving ESPN.
