STORY 70

I was pressured into signing an NDA as part of my divorce settlement with my ex, a famous entertainer.

My own lawyer put me under unbelievable pressure to sign this NDA, giving me a few short hours in which to make the decision to restrict my voice for the rest of my life. I tried to get my lawyer to negotiate the language of the NDA so it was more specific about what it did not allow me to do so it would be clear what I WAS allowed to do. But he refused, which predictably for years had me terrified about making a move and checking with lawyers at every turn if this or that was OK, costing me money in legal fees each time.
