Court orders accuser to pay former Dodgers pitcher damages
A Los Angeles judge just slapped Lindsey Hill with a hefty bill for breaking her word, Breitbart reported. In a ruling that’s got tongues wagging, Superior Court Judge Daniel Crowley ordered Hill, who accused former Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer of sexual assault, to cough up $309,832.02 for violating their settlement agreement. Turns out, actions have consequences.
In 2021, Hill’s allegations that Bauer assaulted her twice at his Pasadena home led to the Dodgers placing him on leave. The saga began with Hill claiming consensual encounters turned violent, while Bauer insisted everything was above board. Prosecutors, after reviewing the case, declined to file charges against Bauer in 2022.
Bauer, determined to clear his name, sued Hill, sparking a countersuit from her. The two eventually settled, with no money changing hands between them, but Hill was set to pocket $300,000 from her insurance company. That settlement, though, came with a catch: Hill couldn’t claim Bauer paid her to drop the case.
Judge Enforces Settlement Terms
Fast forward to Monday, and Judge Crowley dropped the hammer. Hill’s social media posts and podcast appearances, where she implied Bauer paid her to settle, breached the settlement’s gag order. Each violation carried a $10,000 penalty, racking up a tab Bauer’s attorneys were all too happy to tally.
Bauer’s October lawsuit against Hill cited 21 instances of her running her mouth on platforms like X and podcasts. Hill’s response? Crickets—she didn’t contest the suit, handing Bauer a default victory.
Judge Crowley, unimpressed by Hill’s silence, ruled that Bauer’s team provided ample evidence to justify the damages. Hill’s now-deactivated X account became a digital paper trail of her defiance. Her posts, like claiming she “refused to participate in this suit,” didn’t exactly scream compliance.
Hill’s Social Media Missteps
Hill’s X posts were a masterclass in self-sabotage. “Bauer handed back an insurance sum to me,’” she wrote, conveniently ignoring the settlement’s no-pay-talk rule. That little quip, among others, helped Bauer’s attorneys build their case.
She didn’t stop there, crowing on X about delaying Bauer’s career comeback. “Further delay any shot he ever had at getting his career back,” she posted, as if taunting fate. The irony? Her own words dug the $309,832.02 hole she’s now in.
Hill’s attorneys, in an email to Bauer’s team, confirmed she’d get $300,000 from her insurance policy. Yet Hill spun a different tale online, implying Bauer personally paid her to drop her countersuit. It’s almost like she thought the settlement was a suggestion, not a contract.
Consequences of Breaking Agreements
“He will never see a cent from me,” Hill declared on X, doubling down on her defiance. That bravado didn’t sway Judge Crowley, who saw through the noise to the facts. Settlement agreements aren’t optional, and Hill learned that the hard way.
Bauer’s legal team played it smart, letting Hill’s statements do the heavy lifting. By not responding to the lawsuit, Hill effectively rolled over, giving Bauer’s attorneys a clear path to victory. It’s a textbook case of letting your opponent talk themselves into trouble.
The $309,832.02 judgment isn’t just a number—it’s a warning. Hill’s insurance payout, meant to be her safety net, now looks like a cruel twist of fate, barely covering the damages she owes. Actions, as they say, speak louder than tweets.
A Cautionary Tale Unfolds
This case is a stark reminder: words matter, especially when you’re bound by a legal agreement. Hill’s decision to flaunt her settlement terms on public platforms turned a private deal into a costly spectacle. The anti-woke crowd might see this as justice against reckless accusations, but empathy reminds us Hill’s facing real consequences.
Bauer, meanwhile, gets a legal win, but his career remains in limbo. The court’s ruling clears a small part of the cloud over his name, yet the court of public opinion is still out. It’s a bittersweet victory in a saga that’s left both sides bruised.
For conservatives, this story hits a nerve: accountability isn’t just a buzzword. Hill’s accusations, unproven in court, derailed Bauer’s career, and her breach of trust now costs her dearly. In a world quick to judge, maybe it’s time we let facts, not feelings, lead the way.
