Ashley Guillard, the social media personality ordered to pay $10 million in damages for falsely accusing a university professor in connection with the University of Idaho murders, is now challenging the ruling in court.
In newly filed documents, Guillard, known online as “Ashley Solves Mysteries”, compared the judgment against her to the “Salem Witch trials,” arguing that she was unfairly treated during the legal process.
She claimed that after the murders, she conducted a tarot card reading to determine who was responsible, stating that her readings suggested a link between one of the victims and Rebecca Scofield. Guillard then publicly alleged that Scofield had “ordered the murders,” claims that were later found to be false.
Scofield sued the TikToker, arguing that the accusations damaged her reputation, caused emotional distress, and negatively impacted her professional career. In May, the court awarded Scofield $10 million in damages.
In her latest filing, Guillard insists she did not receive a fair trial, alleging fabricated evidence and false testimony. She also argued that she was “targeted and punished for her spiritual beliefs,” claiming her practices were labelled as witchcraft.
Guillard is now asking the court to overturn the $10 million verdict. The case is linked to the broader Idaho murders investigation, in which Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to four life terms for the killings of four university students.
