When Chicago White Sox pitcher Mike Clevinger called out his domestic violence accuser for twisting the truth

Mike Clevinger, a pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, was charged with domestic abuse and neglect of a kid in January by his estranged partner, Olivia Finestead. Clevinger defended himself against misleading domestic violence claims and called out the accuser.

“It’s the world we’re living in,” he said as reported by OutKick in 2023. “Everyone wants the clicks. It doesn’t matter what the real truth is.”

In January, Finestead posted an Instagram story and referred to Clevinger as "truly an evil person."

“You really deserve hell,” she wrote. “I’ve kept quiet now for almost a year and you continue to covertly abuse your infant, withhold ALL of her belongings, we have none of our stuff, still not even her birth certificate or her car seat attachment.”

After the story went viral, Olivia Finestead said on her Instagram account that it was unfortunate that Mike Clevinger was getting away with everything since, unlike in the case of Trevor Bauer, there was no proof that he committed the violent crimes.
