VisitSage Steele Sues CAA for Breach of Fiduciary Duty in ESPN Free Speech Battle Over COVID Vaccine
Jun 12, 2024, 12:34 AM
Sage Steele, a former ESPN broadcaster, has filed a lawsuit against her former representation, Creative Artists Agency (CAA), alleging breach of fiduciary duty. The lawsuit stems from CAA's handling of Steele's standoff with ESPN over a free speech battle related to her comments on the COVID-19 vaccine. Steele claims that CAA failed to adequately represent her interests during this dispute. In response, CAA has labeled the lawsuit as a 'meritless attempt' by Steele to avoid paying commissions owed to the agency. The lawsuit was reported exclusively by Variety.
