Jeanie Buss has filed a petition in Los Angeles Superior Court disputing claims about a supposed secret meeting involving her five siblings. She claims the meeting, which allegedly motivated her siblings to sell their 17.8% stake in the Los Angeles Lakers, never occurred. In her filing, Buss labels the attempt to sell as part of a 'devious' scheme to remove her from her position as team governor. The petition also contends that previous accounts misrepresented her knowledge regarding the sale of the controlling interest in the team. Buss seeks to block the siblings from selling the remaining stake and alleges violated fiduciary duties related to the trust.
