Latest revision as of 21:24, 21 November 2024
Clayton Echard, star of season 26 of The Bachelor, had a one-night fling (allegedly just oral sex, according to him) with Laura Owens on May 20, 2023. 11 days later, after he refuses to pursue a relationship with her, she claims she is pregnant. Laura drafted a dating contract to give to Clayton stating she would abort the baby if he agreed to date her, but he still refused. On August 1st, she took him to court to establish a "parenting plan" for the babies (now twins), and sent upwards of 500 emails and texts to him from more than a dozen different accounts. She went public with the case in September when he still refused to date her. She claims under oath on November 2nd that she is 24 weeks and just saw her OB a few days prior. Laura and Clayton are both granted orders of protection against one another. As of December 28th, she claimed she was "no longer pregnant", and sought to dismiss the court case. Because Clayton believed she fraudulently brought the situation into court and did not have evidence to prove she was actually pregnant with his child(ren), Clayton sought to be awarded attorney's fees.
On Monday June 10th, 2024, the evidentiary hearing took place. On June 18th, Judge Mata gave her ruling, stating that the Court cannot find that Laura Michelle Owens was ever pregnant with Clayton Echard's child/children and cannot establish paternity of a non-confirmed pregnancy. She also found that Laura Owens filed the case in bad faith, not grounded in fact or based in law, provided false testimony, and attempted to extort Clayton Echard. The ruling states that Laura Owens must pay all of Clayton Echard's attorney fees and costs related to this case, but denied the attorney fees and costs for the IAH and OOP hearings. Furthermore, Judge Mata is referring this matter to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for review of Laura Owens' actions.
Timeline of events
A detailed timeline of all of Clayton Echard's court cases against Laura Owens, including screenshots of texts and emails, can be found at justiceforclaytontimeline.com..
2023
April 3: Clayton Echard announces on Instagram that he has become a real estate agent, serving the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas. [1]
May 9: Laura Owens creates an LLC for the purpose of Real Estate and Rental and Leasing. [2]
May 17: Owens reaches out to Clayton Echard on LinkedIn for real estate assistance.[3]
May 20: After an exchange of flirty text messages, which Clayton claims involved a racy photo sent by Laura, Clayton invites Laura over. The two have an “intimate encounter,” which Echard describes as “only oral sex.” The following day, Echard tells Owens that the hook up was a "mistake." [4]
May 21: Clayton makes his intentions clear, that he does not want to pursue a relationship with her. He apologizes for crossing the professional/personal boundary. She breaks down in tears and refuses to accept it. She asks to have him continue to be her realtor.[5]
May 22: Owens starts telling Echard that she cannot continue to have him be her realtor if he doesn't want to pursue a relationship. He consistently tells her he will assign her to another realtor, but she will not accept.[5]
May 25: Echard asks Owens to leave him alone, informing her that he is considering contacting the police. He blocks her phone number.[5]
May 30: Laura states that she took a pregnancy test before a CT scan and it was negative.[6]
May 31: Laura takes a home pregnancy (hCG) test again. She at first states that it was negative[7], but later claims that she saw a "faint" positive line[8], so decided to go get another test done at a medical facility the next day.
June 1: Laura went to Banner Urgent Care for a pregnancy (hCG) test, and tested positive. 11 days after their “intimate encounter,” Owens emails Echard a photo of her first positive pregnancy test. [9]
June 4: Clayton reaches out to Jan Black (Laura's mother). Clayton asks her several times via text if they can talk on the phone, but she refuses and says she will only talk to him if he gives her daughter a chance at a relationship. [10]
June 17: Echard purchases a pregnancy test and asked Owens to take in front of him to confirm the pregnancy. She goes to the bathroom and the result comes out positive. [9]
June 21: Clayton emails Laura, citing research he's looked into that some seizure medication can give false positives on pregnancy tests. Laura denies that. Clayton also states in this email that they only had oral sex (something he has consistently stated).[7]
June 27: Owens' "Iceland story" is published in Chicken Soup for the Soul. [11]
June 28: Laura emails Clayton to say she's "having the baby if I don't hear back from you tonight". She says in her email that she wants to date him and will get an abortion if he agrees to, or she will throw the abortion pills away if he refuses. He responded saying he wants nothing to do with her and to please leave him alone.[12]
July 2: Owens emails Echard’s parents inviting them to her ultrasound. [9] Laura said in her affidavit on 4/16/24 that she went to Planned Parenthood in Mission Viejo on this day. [8] Planned Parenthood replies to Gregg Woodnick, stating that Laura Owens did have an appt at a location on July 2nd, but she canceled it.[13] According to Laura's testimony at the June 10th trial, she changed her story and stated that she actually went to a Planned Parenthood in LA on this day. [14] (It should be noted that Planned Parenthoods in LA are closed on Sundays.)
July 7: Owens sends Clayton a photo of her alleged ultrasound. You can view that ultrasound during Clayton's interview with the Viall Files at the 1 hr and 23 minute mark here.
Note: The ultrasound attempts to date the pregnancy using the date that the intimate encounter happened, not the date of the last menstrual period, which is the standard of care for pregnancy dating across OB/GYNs.
July 23: According to Laura Owens and her attorney David S. Gingras, Laura passes two "less than hand-sized fetal sacs" on this date. She allegedly sought medical attention via a telehealth doc and they told her there was no need to go in. She also allegedly texted photos of these fetal sacs to her sister on this day, and sent them to her doctor. In later filings, she claimed that she and her sister Laura Navarro had deleted the pictures, and refused to turn them over in discovery.[15]
July 24: Laura allegedly had a scheduled appointment with Dr. Makhoul to "hear the heartbeat". Since there is no documentation of this appointment, it is assumed that she canceled it.[16]
July 31: Laura files a police report with Scottsdale PD, stating Clayton has been "threatening, intimidating, verbally abusing, endangering, and extorting her". She wanted to have it on record. Refers to Clayton as the father of her unborn twins. This is also when the officer suggests blocking his number, but she said that she didn't want to because she "wants to know what he's thinking".

Two days later, the account again attempts to post multiple posts about the "Clayton scandal" in a different subreddit r/thebachelor. All posts were removed by the moderators.[32]
September 14: Owens files an Expedited Motion to Seal Court Record because "the media outlets New York Post and Page Six have expressed interest in publicizing the case." [33]
September 15: Arizona Real Estate Department sends Echard a notice that he violated realtor conduct. This was after Owens filed a complaint against him a month earlier. They issued Clayton a "non-disciplinary letter" and closed the case.[34] [35]
September 18: Owens goes to the Sun and Medium with an anonymous article. [36] [37] [38] This was released the 2nd day of Echard filming a new pickleball show.[5]
September 21: Owens posts "I am the anonymous woman in the Clayton scandal. Here's the proof. Here's my story:" on Reddit[7] with a link to her original Medium article of the same name. She provides other Redditors with links to her public Dropbox with photos of her pregnant belly and texts/emails from Echard.
September 21: Clayton posts on his Instagram story a receipt from Ravgen for scheduling the paternity test. Clayton also posts that other individuals have identical accusations against them from this individual.
September 22: Fortify Legal Services sends a cease and desist letter to Clayton regarding the Instagram story mentioned above.
September 22: Laura calls Scottsdale PD regarding Clayton being on Reddit. Her mother, Jan Black, can be heard in the background calling Clayton a "joke".[39]

October 6: DNA test results come back. Echard announces “little to no fetal DNA” on his Instagram story. [43] Owens claims the results were “ongoing” and recorded a call with the lab to support that. [44]
It is important to note that all of Owens’ DNA tests returned the same result of “little to no fetal DNA.”
October 6: Owens files OOP against Echard. You can watch that short hearing here, or read the transcript here.
October 6: Laura contacts the Scottsdale PD about Clayton harassing her online. [45]
October 7: Laura contacts the Scottsdale PD stating that Greg Gillespie is behind Reddit accounts that are posting about her.[46]
October 8: Laura contacts the Scottsdale PD stating that Greg Gillespie is behind Reddit accounts that are posting about her.[47]
October 9: Laura contacts the Scottsdale PD stating that Greg Gillespie is behind Reddit accounts that are posting about her.[48]
October 10: Laura contacts the Scottsdale PD stating that she was "violated cyberly" (she doesn't state by whom).[49]
October 13: Dave Neal breaks the story that on October 11th, Owens had circulated her alleged sonogram video to Clayton as well as to the media, which was later proved to be an edited 6 year old sonogram from an unrelated Youtuber. There were several things off about the ultrasound video, which are shown on Neal's video. [50] Owens later claims Greg Gillespie hacked into her account and released the fake sonogram.
October 16: Laura Owens has an HCG test done, showing that her HCG levels on this day, at 21+ weeks pregnant, were 102 mIU/mL.[51]
October 19: Laura sends Dave Neal a cease and desist letter for his coverage. [52]
October 19: Laura also calls the Scottsdale PD on Clayton, stating that Clayton has violated his OOP by posting the October 6th Instagram story. It should be noted that the OOP did not go in effect until October 17th.[53]
October 24: The first part of the Echard vs. Owens IAH case takes place. Laura appears virtually, while her lawyer and Clayton, who is self-representing at the time, appear in court. Judge Gialketsis determines that the hearing must continue on November 2nd because Laura's lawyer failed to give Clayton some of the documents in advance. You can watch the hearing here.
October 25: Owens vs. Echard OOP case takes place. Laura appears in person with a large pregnant bump. Judge Doody upholds the OOP against Clayton, specifically stating that costume image released on Reddit being the main cause for upholding it. Clayton denies that he is the one that uploaded that image. Laura testifies to Judge Doody that Clayton is the only one that has that image, so could be the only person that could have done that. She failed to testify that she made her dropbox public, which means that dozens of Redditors also had access to the image. She also states 2 weeks later in a police report that Greg Gillespie was the one that uploaded the costume image.[54][55] It's also worth nothing that the person that did create the image stated on X that they were the one responsible for the image, and were verified to be neither Clayton nor Greg. You can watch the hearing here.
October 26: Owens files for a temporary restraining order against Neal. The judge denies the request on first amendment concerns. [56]
November 1: Laura contacts the Scottsdale PD claiming that she's being stalked and harassed online, and that she suspects it's either Greg or Clayton. She also states that she thinks somebody tried to break into her rental property.[57]
November 2: The second part of Clayton's IAH takes place. Clayton is now represented by Deandra Arena from Woodnick Law. Echard wins his injunction against harassment hearing. Owens states in cross-examination that she was 24 weeks pregnant and had just seen her OB "last Friday". Owens is seen drinking an energy drink during the hearing, which is unadvised to do during a pregnancy. Echard claims that Owens got him fired from speaking gigs and reported him to the Real Estate commission. Judge Gialketsis sides with Echard due to the 500+ messages/emails he received from her after he asked her to stop contacting him and blocked her. [58] You can watch the hearing here.
November 3: Dave Neal is served lawsuit from Owens alleging harassment and revenge porn. The photo she cites as revenge porn, was shared by Owens in her public Dropbox “evidence” folder, which she sent to various media outlets, as well as in Bachelor related subreddits. [59]
November 6: Video surfaces of Owens’ alleged baby belly moving wildly during court hearing against Echard, 27 days after she was photographed without a bump at horse jumping competition. [60]

November 14: Owens sends mass email to podcasters threatening to sue them for defamation if they cover the case without platforming her. [64]
November 14: Laura Michelle Owens attends a dr appt at MomDoc. They give her a pregnancy test and confirm that she is not pregnant.[65]
November 15: Reality Steve offers Owens a platform to share her story. She does not accept his offer and instead threatens to sue him.
November 18: Owens pulls out of The Las Vegas National (horse jumping competition) after it leaks on Reddit that she was signed up to compete while allegedly six months pregnant with twins. [66]
It has been rumored that she then attempted to compete under an alias — but that rumor has not been corroborated.
December 4: Owens and Echard’s paternity case gets moved to the inactive calendar because of a lack of movement in the case. [67]
December 5: Law Talk with Mike covers the case and offers Owens a platform to prove her pregnancy. She does not accept, instead threatens to sue him. [68]
December 6: Neal breaks the news that a third DNA test came back with the same result of “little to no fetal DNA.” [69] Around this time, Owens submits criminal complaint against Neal with Los Angeles District Attorney. [70]
December 8: Owens publishes blog post to Medium titled "Unveiling the Unbearable: My Battle Against Cyberbullying and Online Harassment | by Laura Owens" [71]
December 8: Laura calls the Scottsdale PD claiming that Clayton has violated his OOP by posting something online. [72]
December 12: Echard files a motion in family court to extend the dismissal date, to definitively, on record, settle if he is or is not the father of Laura Owens' alleged twins.[73] Also, a welfare check is done on Laura Michelle Owens, after an anonymous friend calls the Scottsdale PD because of her Medium article written on 12/8. You can watch the body cam footage of this welfare check here. (Note: They never actually see Laura during this welfare check, just her mother.)
December 20: Owens posts a public video on her Facebook page which opens with "My name is Laura Owens..." and proceeds to speak for over 6 minutes about being "cyberbullied". The video is shot from her neck up. The sounds she makes are of a crying nature, but no tears are actually seen for the entirety of the video. She specifically calls out Neal, Reality Steve, and "Reddit sleuths" for alleged cyberbullying. Owens also shared Patreon paid subscriber private stream footage of Neal saying things about her over the past few months without any context. Once again, let it be known that Neal has never once said her name (he refers to her as Jane Doe) or shown any photos of her. After about a half-hour, the video disappears from her public Facebook page and she claims that it was only intended for her close friends and family (her beginning the video with "My name is Laura Owens..." seems to dispute this claim).
December 21: The Medium article by Regina Phalange was taken down by Medium[74]. Interesting that Medium continues to leave up her defamatory post about Echard and Dave, then takes down Regina's cogent rebuttal of Owens' post.
December 23: Chase J. Jones (widely believed to be Owens - see below for details) submits to have his Google and Patreon subpoenas quashed, claiming that he has nothing to do with the case. [75] Dave's lawyer has reached out to "Chase J. Jones" several times, asking for a quick FaceTime to verify he is real and put this matter to bed, but has been met with silence on the other end.
December 25: Laura Owens sends a cease and desist letter to TikTok/YouTube personality, Liz Neptune, regarding the use of a video Owens had posted to Facebook that had been used in a TikTok video by a different creator (not Liz Neptune). That creator is not affiliated with Liz in any way, yet Owens claims that she has proof that they are, but has not provided that proof. Owens and Neptune engage in a brief email correspondence, ending with Neptune telling Owens to never contact her again. Owens reported the correspondence as harassment to Liz's local Sherriff's department. [76]
December 28: Owens retains a new attorney in the family court case against Echard, files to dismiss petition to establish paternity. Owens claims that she's "not now pregnant" and wants the case dropped. She is also saying in her motion that because a portion of Echard's legal fees were crowdsourced that he isn't entitled to any awarding of legal fees. [77]
2024
January 2: A new article[78] about the case is published in The Sun. Owens responds to the article, stating: "that she 'firmly stands by everything' she had previously claimed and that she had a positive pregnancy test at one point, which was also documented in court docs, that 'confirmed' her pregnancy and 'was corroborated by a test at a medical facility.'"
Laura also contacted the Scottsdale PD about Clayton's comments to The Sun, stating it was a violation of his OOP. [79]
Laura Michelle Owens files to quash her deposition from Echard and his attorneys. Owens' new attorney, Lexi Lindvall, withdraws as counsel just one week after she takes on the case. Shortly thereafter, Cory Keith becomes Laura's new attorney. Evidentiary Hearing is set by the court for February 27th. [80]
January 17: Laura fails to show up for her deposition. [81]
January 18: Laura calls the Scottsdale PD about harassing phone calls she's been receiving.[82]
January 26: Laura Michelle Owens formed a company named Stylete, LLC. The description of this company is unknown.
February 2: Clayton shows up for his deposition. Laura attends it as well. [83]
February 6: Clayton's lawyer files expedited motion to continue trial and motion for additional trial time.[83]
February 7: Laura Owens receives harassing Facebook posts from what appears to be a troll account. She calls the police about these Facebook posts. Audio of this public call can be found here. The public Scottsdale Police report can also be accessed here.
February 11: The account Justice for Clayton was banned from twitter (X), but reinstated a few days later.
February 12: Clayton's lawyer files expedited motion to set virtual status conference. [73]
February 14: On Laura's alleged due date, she posts a blog post about miscarriage that is so cruel, insensitive, heartless, immature, and irresponsible that we will not link it here. Also on this day, Laura called the Scottsdale PD about alleged online harassment. She specifically asks if her call cannot be public record, but the 911 operator tells her that 911 calls are public record. You can listen to the call here.
February 15: Status conference is set for February 21st.[73]
February 16: Judge denied Laura's motion to quash her deposition. [73] The next few days, the Justice for Clayton sub on Reddit was banned and reinstated twice.
February 21: Status Conference is held. Laura Owens and Clayton Echard were present. Judge denied: Motion to Seal and Dismiss. Judge approved: Extend time of hearing and Owens needs to be deposed. Judge set Deposition to be on March 1st. June 10th is new hearing date. Laura Owens claims in this hearing that she thought she was pregnant in November, but found out later that she had a miscarriage "1 to 2 months prior". Her statement from the November 2nd hearing contradicts that claim. Steve Carbone (Reality Steve) also claims that in correspondence with her, she claims she was still pregnant in December. [84] You can watch the status conference here.
February 22: It was discovered that Laura M. Owens' December 8th post on Medium had been edited from what she posted initially. On her original December 7th post, she initially included "However, I won't be sharing updates regarding the status of my pregnancy with Clayton. I kindly ask not to receive congratulations or engage in discussions about Clayton and my pregnancy. This post is not intended for that purpose." She has since removed that portion of her post. The original post and the edited post are both linked here and here.
February 27: Laura M. Owens emails Clayton's attorney, Gregg Woodnick, directly (instead of going through her lawyer, Cory Keith) stating that she intends to sue Echard for $1.4 million for breaches of contractual and fiduciary duties as well as emotional distress. She states in this email that she will not sue Clayton if he drops the family court case against her and that he has until the day before her deposition to agree to her terms. [85] Woodnick also mentions in his email that three of the doctors that Owens has claimed to have seen for her pregnancy have responded to the HIPAA request stating that they have no patient by the name of Laura Owens.
March 1: Laura M. Owens finally attends her deposition.
