I honestly donāt think 48 Hours ever got a lawsuit from LK. I think they were threatened with one, but I donāt think LK would have an easy time finding a legitimate attorney to take on such a case.
Remember too, shows like 48 Hours do this all day every day, with thousands of people over a many year period of time. Those thousands of people all sign releases, and those releases are not something scribbled on a napkin during meeting at the local greasy spoon. Those releases are something designed by attorneys, specifically for a crime drama television show.
While LK may like to brag she is a āwoman of unlimited meansā, history has proven she has her limits. JK seems to think they were paying a fortune at $5K per month for 2 horse. What JK doesnāt realize is they were getting a hell of a deal, and should have done everything in their power to be THE. BEST. CLIENT. EVER. because that deal was so stellar. I would have been up bright and early every morning offering to clean stalls for a deal like that.
Another tell is JK coming here and bragging about the settlement with RCās insurance company for a ācool quarter millionā. In the horse industry, a cool quarter million is not that much.
Wonāt get you 5 acres, a decent house and barn these days. Wonāt get you a run down meth lab, single wide with a run-in shed and barbed wire in many locations.
In my chosen sport, a well trained, sound, amateur friendly cutting horse that could take you to the Worldās cost $100K 25 years ago. You are not going to find deals like that all over the place these days!
