MINNEAPOLIS– A Minnesota judge has ordered MyPillow to pay nearly $778,000 for unpaid bills and other charges to package delivery service DHL, which sued the company synonymous with its founder, chief pitchman and election denier Mike Lindell.
The award includes more than $48,000 in interest and more than $4,800 for DHL’s attorney fees. The order, signed last month by Hennepin County Judge Susan Burke, said MyPillow had agreed to pay DHL $550,000 in October but failed to do so and did not send anyone to a hearing last month on DHL’s efforts to to collect.
DHL’s lawsuit, filed in September, is one of a series by legal and financial disputes involving Chaska, Minnesota-based MyPillow and Lindell, a prominent one supporter of newly elected President Donald Trump who helped reinforce Trump’s false claims that the The 2020 election was stolen from him.
Lindell said after the lawsuit was filed that MyPillow stopped using DHL more than a year earlier in a dispute over shipments that he said were DHL’s fault.
The “MyPillow Guy” is also being sued for defamation by two voting machine companies, Dominion Voting Systems in Washington, DC, and Smartmatic in Minnesota.
