Fees Resulted After She dismissed A Revenge Porn Lawsuit Against Mr. Messina.
Recently, L.A. Superior Court Judge Yolanda Orozco decided that former U.S. Representative Katie Hill must pay former defendant Joe Messina, a radio talk show host, $29,905 in attorney’s fees under the SLAPP fee shifting provision after she dismissed him from her revenge porn lawsuit on the eve of the SLAPP motion to dismiss. Mr. Messina had sought recovery of $37,585, but the judge found this to be an excessive request.
