The Independent Reports on Lawsuit Against Simon & Schuster
April 1, 2025 – The Independent reports on a lawsuit by Brewer client and Fox News analyst Gregg Jarrett against the publisher Simon & Schuster, literary agent Vigliano Associates, and others.
According to the article, “…Jarrett has accused publisher Simon & Schuster of engaging in a ‘conspiracy’ to steal his book proposal about the Democrats’ ‘lawfare’ against Donald Trump and giving it to an editor for MAGA outlet Breitbart News, according to a new lawsuit.”
The article states, “Throughout the lawsuit, Jarrett — who has become one of Trump’s favorite legal experts due to his bestselling books decrying the Russia probe and ‘witch hunts’ against the president — claims that the defendants pulled a fast one on him to get his idea and move it to Marlow, who was also a Vigliano Associates client. Part of this plan, according to the complaint, involved lowballing Jarrett on his book advance.”
“This case is about betrayal at the highest levels of publishing — where those entrusted to champion Mr. Jarrett’s work instead allegedly conspired to exploit his ideas, misappropriate his opportunity, and enrich themselves at his expense,” Jarrett’s attorney William A. Brewer III declared.
