ESPN has settled a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former makeup artist against its star anchor Chris Berman.
Sue Baumann, who was represented by Gloria Allred, accused Berman of making inappropriate comments and sending unprofessional text messages a few years ago.
The world wide sports leader denied there was any truth to the allegations, but said it settled the case to save the network from a costly court battle.
“Our thorough investigation revealed the harassment claims had no merit. We settled it solely to save a considerable amount of time and litigation costs,” the network told The Big Lead.
