No, she was asking for 75 milWasn't she asking for $10 million?
Im sure if law or Alex wanted to chime in they could tell you in these type of lawsuits, the big money comes from the prosecution being able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that there was serious damages in lost wages, loss of career or career opportunity, etc. Proving that the video severely damaged her life professionally and monetarily is how you get the big payout. Simply saying emotional pain and suffering is much harder because its subjective and for that reason usually doesn't end up paying as much. There's no chance of them even trying to argue loss of wages/career opportunity, etc in this one, its been the opposite. All she has is emotional damage so basically her emotional damage is worth 55 mil? I feel bad for winstons victim, she gets raped and then destroyed in the media and gets a couple hundred grand
I will say this though, kudos to her bloodthirsty lawyers, she got her money's worth from them.
