Trevor Bauer and the first of four sexual assault accusers settled their litigation against each other Monday.
Trevor Bauer’s accuser, Lindsey Hill, responded Tuesday to the pitcher’s X video in which he revealed texts and one video that was meant to prove how he got screwed out of his career. The 32-year-old adamantly denied the allegations against him throughout the entire process. He was placed on administrative leave by MLB in July 2021.
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 released a video talking about the ordeal and revealed damning messages from the woman to her friends.
“‘Next victim. A 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.
Trevor Bauer’s accuser, Lindsey Hill, responded Tuesday to the pitcher’s X video.
Hill acknowledged in an interview on “Prime Time with Alex Stein” that victim was not the right word to use, she said it was meant in a joking manner due to her past relationships.
“This was exactly what Trevor wanted to do was random pick three or four texts and weave it into a narrative where I just look horrible. I explained that in my deposition and random things. I like to joke, I’m very sarcastic, sometimes inappropriate. Anyone who knows me would know that,” Hill said on “Prime Time with Alex Stein.”
“These are just private text messages with my friends and agreed victim is not the word there, but [in] my past I have been involved with other baseball players, that was my world at the time and I had already dated baseball players and it was a funny, sarcastic way to say, ‘Here’s the next one I’m going to try to get attention from,’ and it was a lot of ego and attention-seeking behavior, which is what I can own and what he can’t do is own any part. I can totally own the attention-seeking behavior but these texts in the grand scheme don’t address what happened at all. This was before any of our interactions or anything like that.”

The most damning information Bauer dropped was a video following the alleged 2021 sexual encounter in which Hill was smiling and appeared to be without any bruises.
Hill claims she was full of emotion at the time and only recorded the video to send to her cousin to show that everything was fine. As for the lack of bruises, she added that not enough time had formed for the bruises to show.
Hill said she has selfies from that time that clearly showcase damage.
“Any normal person can see that bruises will take time,” Hill said.
“I was more than willing to go to trial, more than confident in what that would have portrayed and revealed on a public scale,” Hill said. “Especially over the last year or so [I] have completely crumbled and my soul has been crushed by litigation and all this stuff, and I just made the decision that nothing is worth public vindication or anything like that (compared to) what I was going through and feeling at the moment.
“I just had to make that decision that my mental health and my healing is more important to me than getting every single thing public and bringing the truth to the situation.”
Bauer received a 324-game MLB suspension in the wake of the allegations which was the longest punishment ever handed out for a violation of the league’s domestic violence policy.
He explicitly said in his video: “I never sexually assaulted Lindsey Hill.”
With his career in Major League baseball all but over, he now pitches in Japan.
