It is possible for two things to be true at the same time.

The Developer could have made unreasonable, possibly illegal, demands of the agents. The Developer has the position of power and the contractor refusing any request/order puts their contract at risk. If the agents felt the demands from TV were egregious enough, they could have filed suit.

The agents also violated a contract and stole from TV.

From the bit I've followed the case, it seems one of the agents' primary defenses was that TV did illegal things to them (treating them as employees) so their non-compete clause was null and void. Clearly the court did not agree.

Two wrongs don't cancel each other out.
