ESPN anchor Sage Steele sued Disney in 2022, alleging they violated her free speech rights by suspending her over comments made about the company's vaccine mandates. Sage says that even though she'd given in and gotten the shot in order to keep her job and support her family, ESPN punished her for speaking up about her reluctance on 2021 Jay Cutler’s podcast – stripping away prime assignments and forcing her to make a public apology. In this exclusive interview, Sage tells Dr. Drew the full story: why she regrets giving in to the pressure from her employer, but is proud that she stood up to the mega corporation that violated her bodily autonomy – even though it cost her the job she'd dreamed of since she was 11. ••「 From the July 24, 2024 episode of Ask Dr. Drew.
