Ex Rep. Katie Hill sues Daily Mail over nude photo scandal

Disgraced former Democrat Rep. Katie Hill is suing the Daily Mail for reporting on her #MeToo scandal where she sexually harassed and abused female staffers.

Attorney and professor Jonathan Turley reported that the exposure of Hill’s sexual misconduct with a staffer and ongoing abuse of her husband has left her embarrassed and seeking revenge.

In early December, Hill obtained a temporary restraining order against her husband Kenneth Heslep “after Hill alleged her ex had subjected her to 15 years of abuse, including choking her unconscious, threatening her with a gun, abusing her pets, and releasing sexually explicit pictures that ended her political career,” according to NBC News.

Breitbart.com reports: Claiming she had considered pursuing one “many times over the years,” Hill said, “At this point, I am finally seeking a restraining order because I am afraid that he will not give up until I am dead.”

A judge ordered Heslep “to stay at least 100 yards away from Hill, Hill’s mother and sister and Hill’s goat, dog and horse.”

In her suit against RedState and the Daily Mail, Hill is seeking “unspecified damages for emotional distress and violation of state law for distribution of intimate personal material without Hill’s consent,” Turley reported, and named RedState’s parent company, Salem Media Group Inc., Mail Media Inc., RedState deputy managing editor Jennifer Van Laar, and Joseph Messina, a California-based radio show host.

Hill is targeting the site after it published photos of a nude Hill in compromising positions.

“Deciding who is allowed to see our naked bodies is an essential right,” Hill said, according to Turley.

In October, several of Hill’s former congressional staffers posted to her official Twitter account after it was revealed a movie would be made about Hill’s life, Breitbart News previously reported.

In a string of messages, which have since been deleted, Hill’s former aides said they were “disappointed” such a project would be produced, and were concerned it would position Hill as merely a victim in a case that includes Hill in a “throuple” involving her then-husband and a female campaign staffer.

“What happened to Katie Hill shouldn’t happen to anyone. But, this moment requires more nuance, as Katie Hill’s story — our story — is also one of workplace abuse and harassment,” they said in one tweet.

“Katie Hill can be both a victim and perpetrator,” they wrote, alluding to Hill’s allegations against her husband. “And, staff can experience severe consequences for speaking out against their powerful boss.”

“Katie Hill was never investigated by the House Ethics Committee, nor has she been held accountable by anyone other than herself,” her former staffers wrote in another post. 

“Katie took advantage of her subordinates,” Hill’s former staffers alleged in another message. “She caused immense harm to the people who worked for her, many of whom were young women just beginning their careers in politics.”

“Believe us when we say: it’s not only about who starts it, it’s also about who ends it,” the anonymous ex-employees said. “And, while Katie is certainly the survivor of abuse, we are not confident that she sufficiently acted to end her own patterns of inappropriate and abusive behavior.”

  1. And she would ha e had every opportunity to lea e her partner in her position too unless she wanted to stay and it was the daily mail s coverage that actually snapped her put of her deplorable mental state and made her actually do something to get her life onto a normal track She should be grateful .

    • pretty much both parties are doing the same thing, with very few exceptions on the conservative side, but pretty much all the democrats are child doers. it is sad beyond belief. I would hate to think Rand Paul was one, but it would not surprise me if he was a demented demon.
      But i would be highly disappointed if he turned out to be a lie.

      • Based on what we all know 90 % of all politicians, Judges, and political officials are compromised by one of 3 things ( power , money , lust) . Only our earnest prayers and God can fix this. You are correct most Democrats are Pedophiles and at least one Justice .

  2. Sheeeeit; and I remember being in the military when you could be jailed on base for the morning if your army shirt was hanging out.
