According to recent story from the New York post singer Taylor Swifts wins lawsuit against DJ. read full story below
Pop star Taylor Swift won $1 and long-awaited vindication as a Denver jury Monday decided that a radio host groped her during a pre-concert photo-op four years ago.
After a week-long trial over dueling lawsuits, jurors determined in less than five hours of deliberations that fired Denver DJ David Mueller assaulted the “I Knew You Were Trouble” singer by grabbing her backside as his photo with the star was being taken.
The six-woman, two-man jury also found that Swift’s mother and radio liaison were within their rights to contact Mueller’s bosses.
Mueller sued the Swifts and their radio handler, Frank Bell, seeking up to $3 million for his ruined career.
The “Shake It Off” singer broke down in tears earlier Monday as Mueller’s lawyer used a now-infamous photo from the 2013 meet-and-greet to refute her allegations.
“Look at Ms. Swift’s face and ask yourself, ‘Is that the face of a person who just had a strange man grab her butt?’ ” attorney Gabe McFarland told jurors during closing arguments.
“That’s the face of someone who is taking a nice photograph.”
The pic shows a red-lipped Swift smiling alongside a blond woman and Mueller, whose right hand is hidden behind the pop star’s black skirt.
“Not a single witness who was there gave any indication that they saw Mr. Mueller bend over or lean down to get low enough to get under Ms. Swift’s skirt,” McFarland said. “He’s not lifting up the skirt . . . It’s not disturbed, it’s perfectly aligned.”
Mueller, 55, sued the singer, her mother Andrea Finlay and her radio liaison Frank Bell in 2015, claiming he was fired from his $150,000-a-year job at KYGO over the allegations.
