Ever since CAA went to war with a group of former agents who jumped ship to become managers at Range Media, the conflict has played out like an extended game of cat and mouse. The agency alleges that the defectors—Jack Whigham, Dave Bugliari, Michael Cooper, and Mick Sullivan—took off with confidential intel and are now helping Range C.E.O. Pete Micelli run an unlicensed competitor. But proving that claim has been a Sisyphean slog, with CAA forced to jump through hoop after hoop just to secure the most basic discovery. Arbitration subpoenas gave way to public court petitions, which spiraled into jurisdictional appeals and other theatrics. Just last week, CAA filed a new lawsuit, aimed at compelling testimony from the assistants who left alongside their bosses, accusing them of being part of a broader “effort to block CAA from getting at the truth.” Yes, CAA is suing its former assistants.
