Anita Busch vs. Michael Ovitz Business Still Lingering
Jan 24th 2013, 14:30

In the spring of 2008, former CAA kingpin Michael Ovitz answered an oddly phrased question in an LA courtroom. It was during the trial of now incarcerated former PI Anthony Pellicano and went like this with defense attorney Chad Hummel, who was representing an LAPD sergeant:

Hummel: Did you ever hire Mr. Pellicano to put a fish on Anita Busch's car?
Ovitz: Absolutely not.

Five years later, despite that denial, Busch and Ovitz are still legally entangled in a civil lawsuit.
