Fans react with empathy as Trevor Bauer opens up on Lindsey Hill’s sexual allegations: "You need to sue the MLB and the Dodgers"

Ex-LA Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer was accused of sexual assault by Lindsey Hill in 2021. Bauer, in return, filed a defamation lawsuit against her in April 2022. Recently, the dual lawsuit was settled in court without any money being exchanged by either party.

After the settlement, the ex-MLB pitcher shared his side of the story on social media to prove his innocence.

"It’s been 2 year and I can finally talk about this!"

In an Instagram video, he told fans he was framed by his accuser to coax money out of him. He also shared a thread of messages where Hill had a conversation with her friend, calling him the "next victim... star player for the Dodgers," before she apparently even met Bauer in person.

"But as I have done since day one, I refuse to pay her a single cent."

Bauer further explained why he refused to pay her anything and that he had spent more money on legal fees than Lindsey could ever pay him in her lifetime. With the court settlement, he stated that he finally got his closure and was able to give his side of the story since the agreement allowed him to speak on the subject.

"Today, I’m happy to be moving on with my life."

Bauer's video has taken Instagram by storm. Most were supportive and empathetic, while others suggested that he sue the MLB and the Dodgers.
