Not being 100% familiar with her contract but would seem to me unless she did something immoral, something that defamed the network, or violated the law while on the air, my guess is they are on the hook for the full amount. Furthermore, in a contract enforcement action, my guess is also she could sue for her attorney’s costs. At 69 mil, they get off cheaply. They should have taken a page out of sports management: never sign someone who is a clubhouse problem. Eventually it comes back to bite you.
