Ex-Meta policy chief fights bid to silence memoir publicity

A former Meta director of global public policy, Sarah Wynn-Williams, filed a California lawsuit accusing Meta of illegally trying to suppress publicity around her memoir Careless People through an interim arbitration ruling and non-disparagement clauses, arguing the move violates the First Amendment and was coerced under financial duress. Meta counters that Wynn-Williams is attempting to monetize the book and that the arbitration order related to a severance agreement she signed years ago; the case also highlights Meta’s alleged surveillance of her public appearances.

WWE and Vince McMahon Seek Private Arbitration for Grant Lawsuit

Janel Grant’s sex-trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE is moving toward confidential arbitration after a joint court filing requesting an adjournment of the June 16 hearing; the parties say they are actively pursuing arbitration per a 2022 NDA, which could moot the court motions, though Judge Sarah F. Russell hasn’t ruled yet. Grant had challenged the arbitration clause in the past, and the filing notes ongoing discussions to resolve the dispute in private forum, shifting proceedings away from the public court record.

Rozier Faces Massive Salary Forfeit After Arbitration Ruling

An arbitrator ruled that Terry Rozier breached his Miami Heat contract by failing to comply with pretrial release conditions tied to a gambling case, ordering him to forfeit most of his $26.6 million salary for the 2025-26 season. The ruling follows a prior decision that the Heat could not place him on unpaid leave, but Rozier’s no-contact restrictions and other release conditions were found to constitute a breach, triggering the forfeiture. Rozier has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy charges, with prosecutors adding sports bribery and honest-services fraud, and he is set for arraignment as the case moves forward.

Colorado Gov. Polis vetoes three progressive bills on privacy, arbitration, and takeout waste

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis vetoed three progressive bills: HB26-1210 to curb using personal data for price and wage setting—deemed too broad and redundant with a new AI-disclosure law; a proposal to reform arbitration, criticized as vague and likely to push more disputes into litigation; and a measure banning automatic plastic utensils in restaurants, with Polis saying localities should decide such policies. Democrats say they’ll reintroduce some ideas next year.

SCOTUS Rejects NFL Arbitration Bid in Flores Discrimination Case

The Supreme Court declined to hear the NFL’s appeal to compel arbitration in Brian Flores’ racial-discrimination lawsuit, allowing the case to proceed in open federal court rather than arbitration overseen by Commissioner Roger Goodell. The Second Circuit previously found the NFL’s arbitration provision unenforceable under the Arbitration Act, and Flores’ team argued the league’s forum was biased. Flores, who has been a coach for the Vikings, contends the NFL and clubs engaged in systemic discrimination against Black coaches.

An arbitrator ruled in favor of the Jacksonville Jaguars, upholding their decision to fire Urban Meyer 'with cause' in 2021 and voiding about $30 million in remaining pay. Meyer's brief, controversy-filled tenure included on- and off-field incidents and a familiar post-Jaguars media role, while the decision officially closes the chapter on his Jaguars tenure.

Arbitration Denies Urban Meyer’s $30M Grievance Against Jaguars

Former Jaguars coach Urban Meyer lost a $30 million arbitration claim over his 2021 firing; though his five-year contract was valued at roughly $50-60 million, the arbitrator sided with Jacksonville on the 'for cause' termination, pointing to Meyer's tumultuous tenure and off‑field controversies, with the team saying the firing wasn't tied to a single incident and Meyer potentially pursuing further court action.

Leaving Neverland Remains Off the Air After HBO-Estate Legal Clash

Leaving Neverland, the 2019 Michael Jackson documentary, was pulled from HBO’s streaming after a prolonged legal dispute over a 1992 non-disparagement clause; the case settled in 2024 and HBO removed the film, with rights reverting to director Dan Reed in 2029 and a potential North American release in the future. A 2025 sequel appeared on YouTube but struggled to gain traction, and the film remains unavailable in the United States due to these legal arrangements and the estate’s influence in Hollywood.

Florida Woman Wins Auto-Dealership Battle After 25 Months of Inaction

A Florida woman fought Mercedes-Benz of Fort Lauderdale for more than two years after her 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-400 sat idle in the dealership lot for 25 months, with an odometer discrepancy and a bumper zip-tie. An arbitration award ordered the dealership to take the car back, pay damages, and cover some legal costs; a judge upheld the award and the dealer complied only after the court mandated it. The case highlights how arbitration can be costly for consumers and offers practical lessons—obtain an independent inspection before buying, document everything, understand arbitration clauses, and don’t assume dealerships will act on their own timeline.

Alec Bohm’s lawyers have filed for a preliminary injunction to recover $528,618 allegedly withdrawn by his parents from a Bohm-linked brokerage account, part of a broader suit in which he seeks about $3 million for alleged mismanagement of his finances via LLCs; a Philadelphia judge gave the parents 10 days to respond and Bohm has asked to pause a Florida arbitration, pushing the dispute toward Philadelphia court action. Amid the case, Bohm fired agent Scott Boras and hired Nick Chanock, with the conflict centering on how earnings were handled and represented in operating agreements for the LLCs.
