Former QB and (also-now-former) #NFLonFOX analyst Mark Sanchez got arrested on Oct. 4 after allegedly attacking a 69-year-old man and winding up in the hospital — so why did it take over a month to fire him?

In short: When salaries are big and contracts are lengthy, these things can take a while.

I've got details for ya in this week's #fineprintfriday:

Wanna be on Love is Blind? It pays $8,000/season. It could cost you $1M.
The price of being a reality star is steep if you cut out on your contract.

Contestants on Love is Blind, and likely other reality shows too, must agree to the following terms:
- They will get paid $8,000 for the entire season. $2k extra for the reunion
- If they quit, they owe Netflix $50,000
- If they ruin the results in the media prior to the show airing, they owe $1,000,000

Details on that and more in my latest in the Love is Blind series

#LoveIsBlind Season 9 is wrapping up, and I took a look at the #fineprint each contestant signs before appearing on the show. And it's STRICT!

For example: Wearing your wedding ring (or disclosing relationship status) before reunion episode? That's a ~$1 MILLION~ fine.

Do you know what a merkin is..??
Well, Kim Kardashian is trying to sell you one. She's in the news this week due to a lawsuit about these very ... uhh ... interesting #SKIMS loungewear products.

Not only that — I'm pretty much sure that one of the Kardashians is who leaked the story to TMZ.

Chris Brown's "Breezy Bowl XX" is underway — and he's already being sued.

"Breezy Tour" is a copyrighted term by a Miami swimwear company.
HOWEVER, their trademark isn't as strong as it could be.

Fyre Festival sold their brand on eBay this week and — fittingly — they screwed that up, too.

The is a great example of the importance of protecting your copyright, trademark, and intellectual property.

Youtuber @BryanArnett says he "isn't really worried" about the lawsuit he's facing from In-N-Out after Arnett posed as an employee and said some pretty messed up things to people who tried to place an order with him.

Well, he should be.

I explain why in #fineprintfriday:

[ᶠᵃⁿ In-N-Out Burgers @innoutburger_]

In-N-Out has filed a lawsuit against YouTuber Bryant Arnett for his prank video. Arnett posed as an In-N-Out employee on Resurrection Day when the company was closed to allow employees to spend time with their families.

In-N-Out has stated that it does not tolerate impersonation or misuse of its brand and will pursue legal action against anyone who violates its trademarks

Financing a Loan? Trust Me: Get Your Lender Involved EARLY.

I've seen too many potential deals fall through when the bank backs out of a deal because of disagreement in the #fineprint.

It's easy to avoid that — and if you need help with it — send me a message.
