Judge evicting MyPillow from a Shakopee warehouse over unpaid rent
Landlord says Mike Lindell's Chaska-based pillow company has failed to pay more than $200,000 in rent the past two months.
MyPillow is facing a court-ordered eviction from a Shakopee warehouse after the property's landlord showed the company owes more than $200,000 in rent.
A Scott County judge on Tuesday said she will approve the landlord's request to vacate the property after at least four default notices were sent to the Minnesota-based pillow maker over the last six months...
...The eviction is the latest in a string of financial woes for the company and its controversial CEO, Mike Lindell, who has said he's been drained personally and professionally since he became a national figure spreading debunked claims of widespread election fraud in the 2020 presidential race...
...In January, Fox News stopped running MyPillow commercials in a payment dispute. A federal judge last month ordered Lindell to pay $5 million plus interest in an arbitration award to a software engineer who challenged data that Lindell said proves China interfered in the 2020 election. Lindell has said he's appealing that decision.
He's still battling lawsuits in state and federal court over his election fraud claims that threaten to bankrupt him.
The largest lawsuit facing Lindell and MyPillow, a $1.3 billion defamation claim from voting machine company Dominion, has entered the discovery phase. Confidential documents and testimony will be produced over the next several months ahead of a trial, which may not begin until next year at the earliest.
A second voting machine company, Smartmatic, is also suing Lindell and his company for defamation. That case remains at a standstill ahead of a court deadline set for Monday.
