WATCH: Trevor Bauer's accuser Lindsey Hill defends alleged 'inconsistencies' in her story during latest interview
In June 2021, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer was, arguably, at his zenith. The ink was only drying on the reigning Cy Young Award winner's three-year, $102 million deal with the team when some startling accusations were levied against him. Lindsey Hill, who at the time was unnamed, came out with stories that painted Bauer in a rather poor light.
According to Hill, Bauer had assaulted her during a sexual encounter, leaving her bruised and battered. Bauer was immediately placed on administrative leave, and in August, was handed a suspension of 324 games, the longest non-lifetime MLB ban.
Even after Bauer's suspension was commuted to 194 games, the Los Angeles Dodgers released him. That led the right-hander to ink a one-year deal with the Yokohama DeNa Baystars of NPB. Bauer, who maintained his innocence from the start, recently posted a video explaining the incident and portraying Hill in a very damning light.
Bauer released screenshots of alleged texts between Hill and her friends which showed Hill talking about "getting in" on Bauer's wealth. Bauer also claimed former San Diego Padres pitcher Jacob Nix got in on the act, asking Hill to "get this bag" to which Hill replied, "I'll give you 50,000."
Here's the video:

Recently, Hill appeared on Sara Gonzales' BlazeTV show to give her side of the story. In the interview, Gonzales asked Hill why she did not provide the texts alongside her accusations. Hill claimed that the Pasadena, California Police, were holding the texts back.
"I confronted Trevor Bauer's accuser, Lindsey Hill, one-on-one today about the inconsistencies in her story. Do you believe her?
In her final question, Gonzales asked why she agreed to settle with Bauer. Citing her NDA, Hill refused to speak on the alleged $300,000 payment she received from her insurance company.
Trevor Bauer looking to put case behind him
Having settled the case, Trevor Bauer is now looking to move on with his career.
"Both lawsuits have been settled," Bauer said in the video. "Now, over the last two years, I've been forced to defend my integrity and my reputation in a very public setting. But hopefully this is the last time I have to do so, as I'd prefer to just remain focused on doing my job, winning baseball games and entertaining fans around the world. So today, I'm happy to be moving on with my life."
