It appears that ESPN recently settled a sexual harassment claim made by a make up artist against ESPN Anchor Chris Berman.

The Big Lead reports that former ESPN makeup artist, Sue Baumann, was represented by the office of high profile lawyer Gloria Allred.

A person familiar with the matter told The Big Lead that there were allegations against Berman – including comments he allegedly made in the makeup room and text messages going back a few years.

Although ESPN claims the case had no merit, they decided to settle it anyway.

In a statement to The Big Lead, ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said: “Our thorough investigation revealed the harassment claims had no merit. We settled it solely to save a considerable amount of time and litigation costs.”

Allred had “no comment.”

Berman’s agent didn’t reply to phone calls or emails.
