Three weeks ago it was revealed that The World Poker Tour had blocked Shana Hiatt from accepting a reporting gig with NBC’s National Heads-Up Poker Championship.
Thirty-one-year-old Hiatt served as hostess for the World Poker Tour during its first three seasons. Now the WPT refuses to release her from her contract to work for NBC.
The WPT apparently still has Hiatt under contract and maintains some control over her rights. And even though Hiatt has not worked for the show since the WPT World Championship III in 2005, and the WPT is on to its second hostess since Hiatt left, the WPT still said "no."
Even more recently Hiatt has filed a lawsuit against the WPT for "Intentional Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage." |
