Agents Seek Dismissal of Roseanne’s Complaint: Los Angeles-based Triad Artists Inc. asked the California Labor Commission, which regulates talent agencies, to reject an Oct. 16 petition by comedian Roseanne Barr Arnold to have Triad’s license revoked. Arnold accused Triad, her former agency, of cheating her by secretly cutting a deal for a share of the profits from her hit TV series “Roseanne.” Triad denies any wrongdoing. In its filing, the agency contends that under state law, her agreements with Triad and the rules of the industry guilds she belongs to, she is required to submit such grievances to guild arbitration, not to the Labor Commission.
