‘Psychic’ TikTok Figure Will Pay $10M Over Fake, Defamatory U of Idaho Murder Claims

A TikTik Psychic has been will be liable for $10 million in damages for defamatory videos about the University of Idaho Bryan Kohberger murders.

   A Judge Told the Woman to Stop Posting

 According to KIVI-TV 6 in Idaho, a few weeks after Kohberger murdered four University of Idaho students on November 13th, 2022,  the psychic began to post videos that blamed a respected University professor.

Ashley Guillard used Tarot cards to make claims that Professor Rebecca Scofield, the Department Chair and Associate Professor of History, "orchestrated" the killings. She also claimed Scofield had an inappropriate relationship with a student. The videos were seen by thousands, if not tens of thousands of viewers.

Law enforcement was able to establish Kohberger was the primary suspect and he was captured after a nationwide manhunt, and authorities found a large amount of evidence linking him to the murders. There was so much evidence Kohberger at the last minute pleaded guilty in his trial to avoid losing in court and facing the death penalty.

Kohberger, a grad student, gave an admission of guilt and how he did it in his court appearance before sentencing.

Guillard continued to claim Scofield was involved in the murders, and she had an inappropriate relationship with a student, despite federal judicial orders to stop. So the professor sued the psychic.

  Judge Rules in Favor of Idaho Professor

In US District Court for the District of Idaho, Judge Raymond Dl Patricco had already ruled the videos were defamatory, but left the damages up to the jury.

Guillard had represented herself throughout  the proceedings. The 41-year-old from Texas arrogantly tried to claim Scofield's charges of mental and physical anguish were from a hysterectomy in December of 2022.  The jury did not buy her claims, and delivered a resounding defeat for the psychic.
