Woke Oberlin College is hit with FOUR MILLION DOLLARS in interest charges for dragging its heels in paying $36m defamation damages to family-run bakery over false racism claims

woke Ohio college now faces paying $4 million in interest on top of $36 million in damages to a family-run bakery it almost destroyed with false racism allegations.

Oberlin College was last month told it must pay the additional fee – equivalent to around $4,000-a-day for each of the 1,000 days it has refused to pony up – to Gibson’s Bakery, The Chronicle reported.

Oberlin College led by one of its disgraced ex-deans, Meredith Raimondo, lied that the bakery’s staff had racially-profiled three black students in 2016, despite the trio later admitting shoplifting.

That sparked a boycott and protests – led by a bullhorn-waving Raimondo – that almost destroyed Gibson’s, who successfully won a defamation payout in 2019.

But Oberlin has refused to pay up, and asked for another stay in paying the Gibsons what they’re owed because of a pending appeal against the ruling against them.

That appeal is set to be heard by the Ohio Supreme Court, after two lower courts rejected Oberlin’s attempts to slither out of paying the Gibsons.

Lawyers for the Gibson family say Oberlin failed to file the correct paperwork to justify their latest delaying tactic, and must pay up. The legal stalemate continues for now.

The Gibson family, who owns the 137 year-old bakery, won damages after a jury found they suffered horrific stress as a result of Oberlin’s lies and involvement in the boycotting of the business.

  1. So much for their crack legal representation, constitution-ignorant administration and board of snooty rich people.
