Her move to the outlet was also confirmed by The Social when a fan asked about her departure on X.
“She’ll be full time over on eTalk!” the show wrote online.
Lui also supposedly wanted to have more time to focus on her other ventures, such as her well-known pop-culture blog, Lainey Gossip, and another massive career move thanks to a partnership with production company Project 10 Productions.
The television personality’s 2014 memoir, Listen to the Squawking Chicken, is being developed into a scripted series, according to a release from the company’s website.
The series is said to be a romantic comedy that “revolves around a daughter’s pursuit of independence and her mother’s guidance based on life experiences.”
