When Mike Clevinger's ex-girlfriend Olivia Finestead detailed harrowing account of dating White Sox pitcher in tell-all interview

Former Chicago White Sox pitcher Mike Clevinger finds himself embroiled in a legal battle after his ex-girlfriend, Olivia Finestead, made serious accusations of domestic abuse against him and their 10-month-old daughter.

The allegations came to light during an interview conducted by Chicago radio station 670 The Score's "Perkins & Spiegel" show, prompting Major League Baseball (MLB) to launch an investigation into the matter.

In the interview, Finestead detailed her claims of abuse, painting a disturbing picture of her relationship with Clevinger. She accused him of being physically abusive towards her and their infant daughter, recounting incidents of him throwing an iPad at her while she was pregnant and allegedly strangling her.

She also expressed concern for their child's well-being and accused Clevinger of withholding their daughter's belongings, including essential items like her birth certificate and car seat attachment.

“He’s just so full of himself and such a narcissist that he will deny, lie and project every day. That’s just who he is. “You really deserve hell, I“I’ve kept quiet now for almost a year and you continue to covertly abuse your infant, withhold ALL of her belongings, we have none of our stuff, still not even her birth certificate or her car seat attachment.” : she wrote.

Clevinger vehemently denies these allegations and dismisses them as attempts to gain attention and clicks. Clevinger's legal team reportedly considered legal action, including the possibility of issuing a cease-and-desist letter for defamation.
