Deano Spanos is being sued by his own sister.
According to both Kimberley Martin and Adam Schefter of ESPN, Dea Spanos Berberian filed a lawsuit accusing her brother of “mysogynistic” behavior, “self-dealing”, and repeated “breaches of fiduciary duty.” The lawsuit further escalates a legal battle that’s been ongoing between the siblings for over a year.
Berberian is seeking sole control of a family trust that currently constitutes more than one-third of the Chargers’ ownership. She’s also pursuing the court to remove Spanos as a co-trustee while also seeking financial damages.
More specifically, Berberian is accusing bother Dean and other brother, Michael, of “repeatedly acting out of their deeply-held misogynistic attitudes and sense of entitlement as the men in the family.
