o Page Six is reporting that their source says she got a payday of up to eight figures from CBS as she exits amid allegations of racist behavior.
o The source said she is walking away with a $5 to $10 million minimum payout and was able to spin it so that it seemed as if it was her decision to leave the show.
o Another source said that under her agreement, not only is she getting paid but she is not under any sort of a non-disclosure agreement, so she is free to speak out.
o The show will return from hiatus on April 12th.
