Caitlyn Jenner Ordered to Deposition in Deadly Crash Lawsuit

Stepchildren of woman killed in Malibu collision claim former Olympian was “careless and negligent”

About That Caitlyn Jenner Report... Is 'Detransition' an Actual Thing?

Caitlyn Jenner will be sitting for a deposition in a lawsuit stemming from a deadly February crash that the former Olympian and reality TV star was involved in.

On Friday, a Los Angeles County judge granted a motion to compel Jenner’s deposition filed by Dana Redmond and William Howe, the stepchildren of Kimberly Howe, who perished in the Malibu crash. The judge also denied Jenner’s request for a protective order, opening the way for a deposition at a later date.

The ruling states that Jenner was unable to make the case for a protective order.

“Jenner failed to attend her properly noticed deposition,” the ruling reads. “Jenner also fails to establish good cause for a protective order preventing, delaying or restricting her deposition.”

The ruling continued, “There is also no basis to find Jenner’s deposition to be unduly burdensome or expensive. Jenner’s deposition in this action is no different from the deposition of any other party to litigation arising from a multi-vehicle accident.”

Howe and Redmond’s lawsuit alleges that Jenner’s vehicle hit Howe’s car, pushing it into oncoming traffic. According to the suit, her death “caused plaintiffs to suffer enormous damages and losses.” Howe and Redmond contend that Jenner was “careless and negligent” in the crash on Pacific Coast Highway.

Jenner is fighting the suit, claiming that Howe and Redmond were not dependent on their stepmother’s income.

As previously reported, Jenner will not face criminal charges stemming from the crash.

Jenner passed a field sobriety test and provided a blood sample for drug and alcohol testing.
