Mike Lindell's MyPillow sued by DHL over alleged unpaid bills

Conservative activist and election denier Mike Lindell has once again run into legal trouble, this time with the parcel delivery company DHL.

DHL has filed suit against Lindell's company, claiming that MyPillow owes nearly $800,000 in unpaid bills, failed to pay all package delivery services within 15 days of billing and breached its contract with DHL, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY on Friday.

The lawsuit was filed Monday in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis.

Lindell declined to comment when reached by USA TODAY on Friday.

Lawsuit filed after settlement payments were stopped

DHL and MyPillow reached a settlement in May 2023 that requires Lindell's company to pay DHL $775,000 in 24 monthly installments beginning in April of this year, the lawsuit says.

But Lindell's company only paid part of the compensation, just under $65,000, the lawsuit says.

DHL notified MyPillow of the default in payment in writing on July 2. The lawsuit now demands an amount of approximately $800,000 plus interest and legal fees, which could push the total significantly higher.

For Lindell, it is not the first time in court

As reported earlier this year, this is not Lindell's first court appearance. U.S. District Judge John R. Tunheim ordered Lindell to pay $5 million to a software developer who debunked data the MyPillow CEO had used to claim that China interfered in the 2020 election.
