Mike Lindell’s pillow company, MyPillow, has found itself in a mountain of trouble, being ordered to pay over $777,000 to a shipping company for unpaid bills. This ruling comes after a Minnesota judge decided in favor of DHL, the company that sued MyPillow last year for not paying what it owed.
According to court documents, MyPillow was supposed to pay DHL $775,000 as part of a settlement agreement made in May 2023. This payment was to cover years of delivery services for the pillows. However, the company reportedly paid less than $65,000 before completely stopping payments. DHL’s lawsuit highlighted 22 missed payments, each worth over $32,000, along with interest charges and legal fees, which brought the total to $777,729.73.
Lindell, who’s been in the spotlight for his claims about election fraud, initially claimed he wasn’t sure what the lawsuit was about. He said MyPillow had stopped using DHL more than a year before the legal fight began due to a disagreement over shipments.
This isn’t the first time MyPillow has been sued over unpaid shipping bills. Another shipping company, Extend, Inc., filed a lawsuit in California last year, claiming MyPillow owed them over $564,000. Extend said they had a contract with MyPillow to provide shipping and product protection services, but MyPillow allegedly fell behind on payments for years.
In March 2024, the companies agreed to end their partnership and signed a Termination Agreement, but MyPillow still didn’t pay what it owed. Extend later asked the court to step in, saying Mike Lindell had ignored repeated requests to settle the debt.
On top of these lawsuits, Lindell is also dealing with legal troubles from a challenge he issued back in 2021 during a Cyber Symposium he hosted in South Dakota. At the event, Lindell claimed to have data proving Chinese interference in the 2020 presidential election and offered $5 million to anyone who could prove him wrong.
Enter Robert Zeidman, an engineer who took up the challenge and showed that Lindell’s so-called evidence wasn’t related to the 2020 election. A panel chosen by Lindell himself ruled against Zeidman, but arbitration later sided with Zeidman, awarding him the $5 million. Lindell tried to fight the decision in court, but in February 2024, a federal court in Minnesota upheld Zeidman’s victory.
Since then, the legal battles haven’t slowed down. Zeidman has had to fight to collect his prize, and Lindell’s attorneys have repeatedly dropped out of the case. Meanwhile, the courts have consistently ruled in Zeidman’s favor, even awarding him legal fees for Lindell’s failure to cooperate in the discovery process.
With lawsuits piling up and debts unpaid, it seems Mike Lindell and MyPillow are facing one tough legal storm. From Minnesota to California, the battles over unpaid bills and broken promises are far from over, leaving Lindell with plenty of explaining—and paying—to do.
