Okay, I'm going to admit it: When this story first dropped in 2021 I honestly thought Trevor Bauer was a terrible person who deserved the 324-game suspension (later reduced to 194) which he received from the MLB.
But now, look at this.
Yeah, this woman, Lindsey Hill, accused him of sexual assault and battery, and she was literally just lying for the extortion money the whole time. This is crazy.
Here's the scoop:
The woman accused Bauer of assaulting her on two different occasions at his home in Pasadena, California, during what she said began as consensual sexual encounters. Bauer maintained the encounters were consensual. Prosecutors declined to file charges in the case.
MLB initially suspended Bauer 324 games, but the ban was reduced to 194 games by an independent arbitrator in December. No major league team picked him up, but Bauer managed to continue his career in Japan. He was 10-4 with a 2.76 ERA and 130 strikeouts in 19 games with the Yokohama DeNa Baystars.
Here's the thing, though: Bauer knew from the start that none of this sexual assault happened. So when Hill filed a restraining order against him, which was denied, believe it or not, he sued her for defamation, and then she countersued him back.
And now, they've decided to settle the dispute.
But why did Lindsey give up so easy?
Well, let's watch Trevor explain:

Yes, as you can see, this was planned from the start — even before Lindsey Hill had ever met Trevor Bauer.
"'Next victim. Star pitcher for the Dodgers,'" Bauer said in the video. "A text Lindsey Hill sent to a friend before she ever even met me. ‘What should I steal?' she asked another, in reference to visiting my house for the first time. The answer? ‘Take his money.' So how might that work? ‘I'm going to his house Wednesday.' she said, ‘I already have my hooks in. you know how I roll.' Then, after the first time we met, "Net worth is 51 mil" she said. ‘b---h, you better secure the bag', was the response.
"But how was she going to do that? ‘Need daddy to choke me out,' she said. ‘being an absolute whore to try to get in on his 51 million,' read another text. Then, after the second time we met, former [San Diego] Padres pitcher Jacob Nix told her ‘you gotta get this bag.' ‘I'll give you 50,000' Lindsey replied. Her AA sponsor asked her at one point, ‘do you feel a tiny bit guilty?' ‘Not really,' she replied."
She even took a video of herself smirking in Bauer's bed the morning after she'd claimed to have been assaulted. Not a blemish on her face, just a smile.
This is nasty, man. Like, she did this all for the money as if she's a career extortionist or something. And she ruined Trevor Bauer's career in the process, forcing him overseas to play in the Japanese league while all of this went down.
Even worse, the media reported blatant lies to support her case.

Now I'll never "believe all women" again.
Sad that women like this ruin it for the majority of you women out there who are sincere.
