Fucked up.
But that title is confusing.
> A Los Angeles judge approved the settlement on behalf of Litzy Lara Banuelos, known professionally as Emily Willis, who suffered irreversible brain damage after her brain was deprived of oxygen during her stay at Summit Malibu in 2024.
> Banuelos, now 27, can no longer move her body and remains in what her attorney described as a profoundly incapacitated state. Court filings say she occasionally opens her eyes or grunts but does not consistently respond to people around her.
Thats like a living nightmare.
That is not enough money. I don’t know what would be, but I know that is not it.
Nothing in this article remotely explains how TF she got an anoxic brain injury
This is sad! That 3 million isn’t going to last long in the state she’s in.
Is 3 million enough to take care of her for the rest of her natural life?
$3M isn’t much for that profound of an injury
Oh, the title of the article left me imagining that they discharged her on a freezing afternoon and she literally froze. It sounds like she repeatedly declined to follow medical advice, including to go to urgent care, and they’re not sure exactly how she got into this state.
Anyone experiencing a catastrophic medical event like this is a tragedy, but based on this article alone, I’m not convinced the facility was actually at fault.
So odd that they don’t know what caused it
Ducks out for her prompt recovery. *unzips
Edit: you guys are all weird. She made her living doing porn so she would like if we all whack it thinking of her
Only 3 million his girl can no longer talk move do anything by herself she should fucking own the rehab center
Apparently she had a cardiac arrest while at the facility, and suffered brain damage due to the lack of oxygen.
Damn, poor girl. Tragic state to be in
Wow comments keeping it classy on that article. Just victim shaming. I guess her being a porn star is a bigger sin than allowing a woman to suffer permanent brain damage and basically being a vegetative state.
Seeing some of the bills touted about from poor Americans being stooged by your immoral “healthcare” system, the $3 million probably wouldn’t see out the month.
As soon as any of her providers hear of the amount of cash in the back will also most likely ramp up the costs of everything as well.
Kinda like when getting work done in a car, as soon as the panel beater knows insurance is involved, Bang up go the prices. Also like Or our own fiscal calamity in Australia, the NDIS. anything and everything charged through this is hit with a multiplier of x10 if not more.
For some reason I thought the plug got pulled on her like a few months after it happened. Had no idea she was still alive two years later
If that was me I would want to be out out of my misery. I would not want to live what remains of my life in vegetative state. Just reminds me of the horrifying music video to Metallica’s One where the WW1 vet is a blind, deaf, and mute quadraplegic who frantically bangs his head on his bead frame in Morse code saying kill me.
What the fuck is that sentence?
3 million???? That’s it??? She is left completely paralyzed and can’t do anything but grunt, and she gets three million dollars?
That is pathetic. She should have gotten 12 million at the bare minimum.
