MyPillow’s CEO and trusted Trump ally, Mike Lindell, has retained legal counsel Charles Harder to go to the Daily mail about a story that claims he had a secret relationship 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star actress Jane Krakowski, The Daily Beast has learned.
“Charles Harder is the lawyer,” Lindell confirmed in a brief interview Friday night. “I’ve never met this woman in my life and have never been to the West Village and the Hamptons, where they said I was in the hit.”
Lindell added: “They have done so much damage to my reputation … I’m not just going for a letter of claim or a withdrawal, but I also want to pursue them with a lawsuit because they harmed my integrity as a Christian and my network . to help addicts everywhere. He said he had already discussed this with Harder, who he had just detained, and said that the lawyer was busy with the legal paperwork.
‘Mike Lindell has never met Jane Krakowski. Daily Mail asked him to comment on a possible story that the two went out in secret. He immediately told them he had never heard of her, and it was a ‘fake news report’. The Daily Mail then recklessly published his fake story and slandered him in the process – falsely saying he gave her champagne and booze. He is an addict, and runs Lindell Recovery Network. Mr. Lindell plans to sue the Daily Mail, “Harder told The Daily Beast.
Lindell said he believes the Mail story to be another “hit” written because he will not give up the … machine election fraud, regarding the Trump-Biden presidential election.
A rep for the Daily mail did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday night.
The Gawker murder lawyer, who represented everyone from former President Donald Trump to professional wrestler Hulk Hogan, has established himself as a lawyer for aggrieved celebrities who want to take on news sales. In 2017, Harder helped secure a settlement and payment for Melania Trump from the Daily mail, who was forced to withdraw and apologize for an article claiming she was once a companion.
In what for many looked like a deleted plot line of 30 Rock, the Mail reported Thursday afternoon that Lindell – known for his unwavering support for Trump and seemingly incessant pillow ads aired on Fox News – had a secret romance with the TV sitcom and Broadway star.
According to the tabloid newspaper, Krakowski’s friends were surprised by the alleged relationship and described it as turbulent, but according to the Mail, Lindell won her over with champagne, booze and flowers and conducted a ‘passionate’ affair that one source described as an ‘open secret’ in West Village in Manhattan. (However, Lindell has publicly said for years that he is now sober after overcoming his previous battle with drug abuse, including crack cocaine.) According to the tabloid, Krakowski would often throw away his gifts, and the duo would apparently split up. a recent weekend together at a rented beach house.
However, it appears that both parties agree, but that the relationship Mail never happens.
“Jane has never met Mr. Lindell,” the actress’s publicist said in a statement. “She is not and has never been in a relationship with him, romantic or otherwise.” Lindell told The Daily Beast on Thursday: “I have never met that person and I told the Daily Mail. My lawyers are following suit. ‘
Since the 2020 election, Lindell has taken a prominent role in the conservative media and in the current, twice-accused Republican president’s job of attacking the results of the 2020 election, in which Democratic candidate and now President Joe Biden decisively knocked. Trump in the popular and election college votes. Lindell was a major financial backer of certain pro-Trump legal efforts and rallies that sought to destroy Biden’s victory, and remained in close contact with such Trumpworld bodies as Sidney Powell and Michael Flynn.
On one of the very last days of the Trump presidency, the MyPillow inventor and cable TV spokesman was at the White House and briefed the then president in the Oval Office on documents focused on a conspiracy theory that China and other foreign countries. hacked the presidential election in 2020 to give it to Biden.
The meeting, according to Lindell’s estimate, lasted five to ten minutes, and he was escorted and later picked up in an argument with other White House officials. The creator of MyPillow said at an oval meeting last week: ‘[Trump] was upset to hear that this was happening to all the people who had supported him for four years. He said, “Can you believe how they treat us out there?” ‘
And although Harder has had several successful successes with the media, including Gawker and the Daily mail, he also had some high setbacks in court. As The Daily Beast reported last year, Harder, commissioned by Donald Trump’s brother Robert Trump, failed to stop the then president’s cousin Mary Trump from publishing an explosive memoir about the family.
