CBS is expected to part ways with Tony Romo after his July OWI arrest and a four-year, roughly $72 million contract, likely via a buyout rather than a full termination, as negotiations unfold and insiders peg a ~95% chance he won’t return to CBS.
Neutrogena apologized on Instagram for making Hayden Panettiere feel unsupported during a difficult time and said it will invest in postpartum-depression resources after the backlash; Panettiere, who spoke publicly about postpartum depression and said she was fired over it, died at 36 with an autopsy completed and the cause of death pending.
Neutrogena issued a statement mourning Hayden Panettiere’s death, saying they are saddened, valued her as a long-time partner, and acknowledging that they didn’t support her during a difficult time; the company pledges to invest in a community health partner to help provide care for postpartum depression. Panettiere had claimed in memoirs that Neutrogena sought to end their partnership after she spoke publicly about postpartum depression, fueling backlash and calls for a boycott. The death is under investigation with the DEA now involved, though police say there are no signs of foul play.
Following Hayden Panettiere’s death, fans revived her claim that Neutrogena tried to fire her after she spoke about postpartum depression in 2015, triggering renewed online backlash and boycott calls against the brand, which has not commented publicly.
A DC federal judge ordered the Kennedy Center to pay about $252,000 in legal fees to musician Chuck Redd after dismissing the center’s suit over his cancellation of a Christmas Eve concert prompted by the addition of Trump’s name to the building's façade; the ruling found unlawful retaliation, and the judge noted the event was free and not financially harmed by the cancellation, with the center planning to appeal.
Following Tony Romo’s July OWI arrest and CBS placing him on leave, experts say the fate of his 10-year, $180 million contract hinges on the morals clause language. A broad clause could allow termination or a buyout, while a narrower provision—such as one tied to felony conduct or brand impact—could favor Romo. A potential choice-of-law provision, possible arbitration, and the lack of a conviction complicate the dispute, with a Sept. 21 court date looming. Romo’s CBS future remains uncertain as the network weighs its options and a replacement, J.J. Watt, steps in for the broadcast team.
After a July OWI arrest in Wisconsin, Tony Romo is on leave from CBS. His 10-year, $180 million contract includes a morals clause that could enable CBS to sever the relationship, with J.J. Watt filling Romo's top NFL broadcast role alongside Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson while Romo faces a Sept. 21 court hearing and fines.
CBS is reportedly looking to end its Tony Romo deal and move on from the Romo brand in response to Romo’s OWI arrest and suspension, weighing the use of a morals clause and considering replacements (e.g., Ian Eagle) while acknowledging any rehire would be a long, complex process.
Mackenzie Phillips says a tight morals clause and a lunch-break confrontation with producer Patricia Fass Palmer led to her abrupt exit from One Day at a Time in 1983 after she admitted to cocaine use; she describes the on-set drug culture with Valerie Bertinelli, the urinalysis provision that could have sent her to a doctor, and the subsequent focus on recovery, faith and resilience, while noting Bertinelli’s different experience.
CBS placed Tony Romo on leave while weighing a possible 'for cause' termination under a broad morals clause in his $72 million, four-year contract; arbitration would likely determine any payout, and a settlement may be the path to exit the deal, with CBS shifting on-air talent as J.J. Watt is elevated to the top NFL broadcast team.
CBS paused Tony Romo’s duties after his arrest for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, throwing a spotlight on his 10-year, $180 million deal and potentially making it the worst contract in sports media history. A traffic-stop video and witnesses have raised questions about his consistency and work ethic, fueling talks of a demotion or a return on a different crew if he can rebound on- and off-air. CBS has already shifted responsibilities to other broadcasters and will watch Romo’s recovery ahead of key moments like the September schedule and the 2028 Super Bowl, with a court date in Wisconsin on Sept. 21 and a long road to re-entry if he’s to reclaim his role.
