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.”
