Fired, Sued, & Cancelled: A Masterclass in Mental Resilience | Hang Out with Sean Hannity

Billy Bush and Sage Steele join Sean Hannity to reveal the raw, unedited truth about being fired, cancelled, and how they fought their way back to the top.

In this episode of Hang Out with Sean Hannity, Sean sits down with two friends who shared a common "turn in the barrel". Sage Steele opens up about her 16-year career at ESPN, the COVID-19 vaccine mandate that changed everything, and the bravery required to sue a media giant while still on the air. Billy Bush breaks down the "weaponized" release of the Access Hollywood tape and the 11-year wait for its leak.

This isn't just a story of media controversy; it's a conversation about faith, family, and the resilience needed to survive a public "hit job".
