Chris Berman is ESPN’s biggest name — and a makeup artist just scored a big sexual harassment claim against the face of the sports network!
Pitbull lawyer Gloria Allred represented Sue Baumann in her allegations against Chris, with the horny broadcaster allegedly leaving a long trail of improper comments and text messages!
Sue also had a police report that proved ESPN had even sent their own investigators looking into her relationship with a network staffer!
Sue — who had been let go from ESPN this past summer — had come forward with several allegations against “Countdown” host Chris, and allegedly had several incriminating text messages dating back to 2011.
There were also reports that “Countdown” producer Seth Markman had been made aware of the host’s behavior by Sue’s (now ex) husband.
Sue had worked at ESPN for at least six years as a freelance makeup artist, and was a regular staffer with the “Countdown” crew — featuring former NFL greats like Hall of Famer Cris Carter.
The court case reveals a lot of hot gossip around the ESPN headquarters — and one fellow makeup artist has complained that Sue dressed around the office “as if she were about to go out at a high-profile club!”
Sue also reportedly became involved in a relationship with her co-worker Cris, ending with police being called when ESPN investigators visiting the home of the married woman in 2013 and telling her (now divorced) husband to cease “calling and harassing an employee at ESPN.”
But now it appears that ESPN’s own Chris Berman was also prone to harassment!
Gloria Allred is staying mum on the settlement.
ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz insisted: “Our thorough investigation revealed the harassment claims had no merit. We settled it solely to save a considerable amount of time and litigation costs.”
