A judge evicted the Minnesota-based MyPillow from a facility in Shakopee after the landlord filed a lawsuit claiming that the company, owned by Mike Lindell, was at least $200,000 behind on rent payments.
Lindell, who is a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump, has faced slew of financial problems as he is in the midst of a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit, filed by Dominion Voting Systems, saying that he falsely accused the company of rigging the 2020 presidential election.
Fox News, which had been one of his biggest advertising platforms, stopped running MyPillow commercials in January due to a payment dispute, which Lindell acknowledged.

Then in late February, a federal judge said he had to pay $5 million to a software engineer over election fraud claims.
Last July, Lindell auctioned off industrial equipment — ranging from forklifts to office cubicles — and started subleasing some of its manufacturing space in Minnesota.
He claimed that the auction reflected a change to a direct-to-consumer approach after big box stores like Walmart and Bed, Bath & Beyond "canceled" MyPillow.
