"CBS forced her to by saying that she had another year left on the contract they broke with her, and if she didn't come back, they'd sue her."
CBS did not force Paget to sign that initial contract back in June 2010 and agree to those terms. And for Paget to claim she didn't know about that is disingenious at best, and stupid at worst, since Deadline was reporting the "CBS can call her back if her pilot fails" when Paget was doing her pilot (and actually, was insinuating it even earlier). So pretty dumb if everyone knew the terms of her contract *except* her. Also, it's common sense. Why would she need a pilot-out option if she knew she wasn't going to return for the seventh season? Oh yeah, that's right, she wouldn't. [me rolls eyes]
Also, CBS offered her a new contract last January 2011, but she opted to stay with her June 2010 one so that she could use her pilot-out option - as again, reported by Deadline. So her insinuation that CBS did nothing to make it up to her is false.
