Sage Steele is leaving ESPN after settling her lawsuit with the company over allegations that the network violated her free speech rights.
Steele announced her departure with a post on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday morning.
“Life update. Having successfully settled my case with ESPN/Disney, I have decided to leave so I can exercise my first amendment rights more freely. I am grateful for so many wonderful experiences over the past 16 years and am excited for my next chapter. #SteeleStrong,” she posted.
