He was ordered, but did he ever pay her? She owes him far more than $44,000. He should have just deducted the $44,000 from the half-million+ she owes him.
No idea if he ever paid. Like you said, she is the one that owes him money at this point. She also got ripped off by Avenatti for the $300K she was supposed to be paid for her book. I guess a porn star being an idiot is no surprise. But she’s free to sell “her story” now, so I expect a highly salacious NETFLIX special just in time for the election.
