Report: ESPN Paying Jemele Hill Up to $6 Million to Leave

News traveled quickly on Saturday night, that controversial writer and host Jemele Hill had reached an agreement on a contract buyout with ESPN. However, the details of that buyout were not known at the time.

Now, reported details of that buyout are beginning to emerge and it appears that ESPN was willing to pay an awful lot of money to end their relationship with Hill.

According to Real Clear Life:

Following a conversation she requested with network president Jimmy Pitaro, ESPN and Hill reached an “amicable” split and she will be bought out of her $2.5 million contract.

The contract reportedly has at least two years remaining on it so Hill will likely walk away with a package in the seven figures as a result of the agreement.

And she's so tone deaf, she'll never figure out why.

Jemele? Seriously? What orifice do these baby momma's pull these ghetto sounding ridiculous names out of? I guess they think it's cute to name a child a name that sounds like something you would name an African zoo animal. Well it's not cute. It's gross and disgusting and uncivilized.

@3:02 are you REALLY that stupid? She's what 34 yrs old and was basically forced out of her career field. The top broadcasters are making 6 million or more a year. She probably lost 50 million plus. Yeah we're the ones that are mad. LMFAO

5:31 actually she probably made out because nobody was going to hire her. I agree with 3:27 ESPN showed poor instincts when they hired a no talent individual to begin with.

Y'all be jealous of Jameel 'yo!! Yeah have to agree @5:31 she definitely gave up future possible lifetime income of well over 50 million. For what though, because she's black and blacks are slaughtering blacks at record numbers. No because she bought into Colin kapernick's bullshit

From what I read earlier she was a loose cannon and biased; had no filter.

Since I cancelled cable some years back, I won't be on the hook for her buyout.If we never hear from or about her again that will be just fine.

LOL you're not serious are you? "The bank"? She ain't taking it to no bank. She's just like the rest and will have that 6 million spent in record time. She's pure low class ghetto garbage and you know how they are. She's probably already spent up a ton on her credit card buying Gucci, LV and Red Bottoms. LOL "the bank." You're so funny 3:02.
