'Girls Gone Wild' Tennessee Cop Maegan Hall Reaches $500k Settlement With City
Former police officer Maegan Hall just received a huge payday from the city of La Vergne, Tennessee. She filed a federal lawsuit after she was fired from the La Vergne Police Department following an investigation which uncovered six sexual relationships with five different officers on the force.
Much of the alleged action took place on the job. In addition to the sex with her colleagues, the investigation found that she sent the men nude pictures and went topless during a "Girls Gone Wild"-themed hot tub party.
The city decided to settle the lawsuit filed last year by Hall for $500,000. She and her lawyer claimed that there was a hostile work environment within the police department and that her former supervisors groomed her.
La Vergne city leaders held a special meeting on Wednesday night where they voted 3 to 1 to settle the lawsuit for $500,000. It will be paid by the city's insurance company.
The settlement includes no admission of guilt and puts Hall's lawsuit against the city and three of her former supervisors to bed. The settlement also includes her court costs, her attorney's fees, and her expenses.
The City Is Handing Over Half A Million, But Is Taking Zero Of The Blame
The city of La Vergne released a statement following the vote to settle the lawsuit, "The La Vergne Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted tonight to authorize the mayor to sign a settlement agreement between the City of La Vergne and former police officer Maegan Hall."
"The agreement was negotiated between the attorney's representing the City and Hall. The City's insurance provider will pay the sum of $500,000 to Hall as a gross settlement, which includes court costs, attorneys fees, and expenses."
The statement concluded, "The City denies any admission of liability, and no taxpayer funds will be spent to settle this lawsuit."
What an ending to a wild ride. The only question I have after all of this is, did Jedidiah stick around?
For those of you who forgot or aren't familiar with the story, he's the park ranger she married back in 2018, who reportedly didn't support the open marriage idea as much as she did.
If he did stick around, you have to believe he earned a tiny cut of the settlement.
