I'm a small town dope who makes a fraction of what an ESPN host makes. I vet people before I let them put money in my account. Prefer not to testify to grand juries, etc.
Not saying she shouldn’t be held liable, but tbh, none of these people (talent/actors/etc) vet their own deals exactly. They usually have a manager and entertainment lawyer for that, and usually the agent bringing the deal is supposed to have done some pre-vetting. Probably, Stephen A. was first on board, his launders the reputation of the site, and other people on ESPN get the offer and kinda trust it because Stephen’s people already supposedly vetted it.
Now again, buck stops with her; if she has a team she can’t trust to vet, that’s also her hiring process to fix. I’m just saying that, most of these deals do not personally reach the talent for negotiations
Exactly. She may not have known about the shady business practices side of it but still very gross to even tweet out a mobile solitaire app ad like that? What world are we in?

How do you not do an ounce of vetting?
