May 26, 2024—Right-wing blogger Summer Bushnell ordered to pay $926,000 in compensatory and $250,000 in punitive damages to an Idaho performer whom she falsely claimed exposed his genitals to children during a 2022 performance. Jurors were shown an unedited video of the performance, along with Bushnell’s version that blurred Eric Posey’s groin area, and her published claim that she blurred Posey’s “fully exposed genitals.” She admitted at trial she never saw exposed genitals.
