Former “throuple” pol Katie Hill has reportedly been ordered to pay about $220,000 in attorneys’ fees after losing her lawsuit against media outlets that printed her naked photos, according to a report.
The one-time Democratic rising star had accused the outlets of posting “revenge porn” by using the graphic, leaked photos that played a part in her resignation in 2019.
But the legal bid was thrown out in March on First Amendment grounds, with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yolanda Orozco arguing that the publication was in the “public interest” as it reflected Hill’s “character” and “qualifications” for office.
Hill had already been ordered to pay about $84,000 to the attorneys of Jennifer Van Laar, managing editor of the conservative website Red State, and about $30,000 to those representing radio producer Joseph Messina, the Los Angeles Times said.
On Wednesday, Orozco also ordered her to pay about $105,000 to the parent company of the UK tabloid the Daily Mail, the LA Times said — swiftly confirmed by the outraged former California congresswoman.
“A judge just ordered me to PAY the Daily Mail more than $100k for the privilege of them publishing nude photos of me obtained from an abuser,” she tweeted.
“The justice system is broken for victims,” she wrote, along with the hashtag #BoycottDailyMail.

She was my congress critter for a while. What a despicable creature she is!
Too bad Larry Flynt passed away - he could have worked out a deal with her to help pay those bills.
I recall her ads portraying Hill as a wholesome, hard working mom who will do the right thing!
That’s the trouble when someone of either sex willingly poses for pictures.
They could show up at any time and anywhere.
It’s stupid for anyone to do. When you are a public official you show your constituents how really dumb you are. A public official should have at least that much common sense. She has no one to blame but herself.
So true.
She’d have been better off to admit taking pictures for ANYONE was just plain foolish.
That said, feminist are used to having it both ways; must have been a real shock to her when she found out that even with ‘her’ voters there were lines not to be crossed.
Lol! Now that would be truth in advertising.
Nice Try Katie.
Didn’t her lawyers advise her she could be on the hook if she loses? Maybe she has a case against them.
Is she the one whose pictures exposed her as playing lesbian?
Please note, that’s a question, not a statement of fact.
Hillary will pay her fees.
Pics of her kissing girlfreind and two pics in which she is naked as a jaybird. One shows her brushing girlfriend’s hair and the other shows her smoking a bong. Real class act.
I consider myself a feminist to a certain degree. That means respecting & being
supportive of the women who want to stay home & raise their kids. It also means letting men have their own clubs & spaces. Just let people be.
And you’re correct....by admitting her very bad judgement she might have salvaged her career. She made 2 monumental mistakes: 1) posing for nude photos & 2) involving a staff member in all of it. A man would have been skewered for #2 alone.
Lord knows I live in a glass house, but I also learn from my mistakes. There’s also redemption for most people. People are forgiving, but OWN your mistakes.
