Specifically, Steele alleges that she was removed from consideration for important assignments and faced harassment from colleagues. Steele was taken off the air after she tested positive for Covid. “Disney and ESPN clearly admit their liability by offering to pay Sage Steele more than half a million dollars for taking away her right to free speech. The offer misses the point.
Steele’s lawsuit claims that ESPN forced her to apologize for the remarks “under threat of termination.”
