Dean Spanos accused of misogynistic behavior by sister in Chargers ownership lawsuit

A brewing battle over ownership of the Los Angeles Chargers just got publicly ugly.

Dea Spanos Berberian, part-owner of the Chargers and sister of controlling owner Dean Spanos, accused her brother of "misogynistic" behavior, "self-dealing" and repeated "breaches of fiduciary duty" in a lawsuit over control of the team, according to ESPN.

Berberian is reportedly seeking sole control of a family trust that accounts for more than one third of Chargers ownership. Her lawsuit, filed Thursday in San Joaquin County Superior Court, also reportedly requests Spanos be removed as co-trustee and seeks unspecified financial damages.
