Sarah Hyland Sued by Former Manager For Lack of Payment
Sarah Hyland‘s former manager is taking legal action.
The Modern Family alum’s former manager Richard Konigsberg filed a lawsuit Sept. 30, alleging she fired him earlier this year after 15 years to avoid paying him 10 percent of all the money she made during their time working together.
Konigsberg claims in the suit, obtained by E! News, that his role as Hyland’s manager went beyond the typical description of helping build a client’s career as he “met Hyland’s business and personal needs, doing everything from introducing her to talent agents and business managers and publicists, to planning her private events and helping her navigate personal and familial relationships.”
E! News has reached out to reps for both Hyland and Konigsberg but has not heard back.
According to Konigsberg’s lawsuit, he and Hyland met in 2008 when he agreed to help her as she moved from New York to Los Angeles to further her acting career. Around “January or February 2009, Konigsberg and [Hyland] entered into an oral agreement providing that Konigsberg would provide personal and professional management services to [her] in exchange for a 10% commission on all projects sourced while the parties worked together.”
