Former radio DJ David Mueller said he mailed $1 to Taylor Swift on Wednesday
after he was found guilty of groping her in 2013 .
Mueller sent the money and provided proof of payment to the
Associated Press, Washington, D.C.'s ABC7-WJLA reports.
However the pop singer said she is yet to receive the DJ's dollar cash.
The singer also described, in her ordeal with Mueller about what in 2013. "When we were posing for a photo, he stuck his hand up my dress and grabbed onto my ass cheek, I squirmed and lurched
sideways to get away from him, but he wouldn't let go. At the time, I
was headlining a major arena tour and there were a number of people in
the room that saw this plus a photo of it happening. I figured
that if he would be brazen enough to assault me under these risky
circumstances and high stakes, imagine what he might do to a vulnerable,
young artist if given the chance. It was important to report the
incident to his radio station because I felt like they needed to know.
The radio station conducted its own investigation and fired him. Two
years later, he sued me."
Mueller sued Swift for defamation, saying she cost him a $150,000-a-year job; he sought up to $3 million in damages. Swift counter sued for $1, and in August, a federal jury ruled in her favor.
The
singer when asked if she felt guilty about Mueller losing his job, she told his
attorney, "I'm not going to let you or your client make me feel in any
way that this is my fault. Here we are, years later, and I'm being
blamed for the unfortunate events of his life that are the product of
his decisions not mine."
The singer said she was upset by how court proceedings unfolded by the
time she testified. "This man hadn't considered any formalities when he
assaulted me, and his lawyer didn't hold back on my mom why should I be
polite, she argued.
