A Cook County judge has dismissed six of the seven claims filed by TikToker Julia Reel against Hubbard Inn, a River North restaurant and bar, in a lawsuit stemming from an alleged altercation in March. Reel claimed she was violently grabbed and pushed down a staircase by a bouncer, but the restaurant's video showed her being escorted out of the venue on her own. Reel's attorney argued the restaurant's video was incomplete, while the restaurant accused Reel of spreading false claims that damaged its reputation and caused financial losses.
A Cook County judge on Wednesday dismissed six of the seven claims filed by TikToker Julia Reel in a lawsuit against Hubbard Inn, a River North restaurant and bar.Earlier this year, Reel posted a video on TikTok alleging she was violently grabbed and pushed down a staircase by a bouncer during a night out in March.The post prompted Hubbard Inn to release its own video, which showed Reel being escorted out of the venue – leaving on her own.
We are also pleased that the Court rules create an opportunity to revisit some of the other claims now or in the future. As we all anticipated, this is going to be a long and difficult lawsuit, which will invariably go to the very end. Ms. Reel is prepared and ready for the battle against the Hubbard Inn.""Hubbard Inn is pleased the court saw our side in rejecting Ms. Reel’s baseless claims. We look forward to winning our defamation case against her.
