The William Morris talent agency is suing CNBC anchor Amanda Drury, alleging that it is owed commissions from her most recent contract.
Julia LaRoche of Business Insider writes, “In the complaint, William Morris Endeavor Entertainment LLC alleges that Drury still owes them commission payments after they represented her while negotiating a ‘lucrative four-year contract’ with CNBC.
“WME says it acted as Drury’s agent in October of 2009 during talks with CNBC and continued to do so when she eventually signed an employment contract with CNBC in March 2010. That CNBC employment contract started on April 30, 2010 and will run through April 2, 2014, the court document shows.
“The talent agency also says that Drury agreed to pay commissions of 10% of the gross compensation at CNBC. WME claims that this agreement was made in several writings, including emails and invoices.
“The complaint says that Drury terminated her agency relationship with WME in December 2010.
“The agency then says she stopped paying them commissions and that damages so far are at least $150,000, plus interest, according to the court papers.
