The anti-gay former clerk could be charged with contempt of court if she doesn't explain her actions.

A federal judge said in a November 6 legal filing that former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis issued false responses about her assets in an inquiry to decide how she can repay her court-ordered payment of $565,000 to David Ermold and David Moore. Davis discriminated against the same-sex couple in 2015 when she illegally denied a marriage license to them, shortly after the US Supreme Court’s landmark Obergefell v. Hodges ruling legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.

Moore and Ermold said that the list of personal assets Davis shared with the court after it ordered her to pay the aforementioned sum was “materially false.” Davis said she owned no real estate, made no large transfers, and was not a beneficiary of any estate, WKYT reported. However, the couple said they discovered certified records in Rowan County showing that she had inherited 50% of her mother’s estate as well as signed deeds in 2025 transferring that property to her family members.

The men’s lawyers had asked Davis to produce documents “relating to any other real property you own, including deeds,” “reflecting transfers of property or assets made by you… in the past five years…exceeding $1,000,” and “reflecting any trusts or estate interests where you were designated as a beneficiary.”

In response, Davis submitted documents claiming that she “owns no real property” or any interest in real property, “made no transfers” that exceeded $2,000, and “is not designated as a beneficiary in any trust or estate.”

    I am generally against making fun of people for their looks which they cannot change. That said, this stupid bitch has butt-ugly hair and has chosen to have butt-ugly hair the entire duration of her stupid bitch infamy. That is over a decade of a hairstyle that, as I type this out, I am led to believe is worn that way to continue to offend the gays. She could pick any new hair style from The Undertaker’s Deadman or Return of the Deadman eras. Hair looking like it does is a choice she makes.

    I was about to ask how in the world a Kentucky clerk of the court could have enough to pay a half million settlement, but inheritance, I guess makes sense.

    She hid them because she is a typical christen american. Married all those times and still thinks god always wants exactly what she wants.

    She hid it because she was brainwashed that she’s righteous and feels wronged by the courts. She claims to follow her chosen, invented supernatural laws, but ignores the ones she wants to. Hypocrisy is a huge part of the dualistic, supernatural systems with conditional belonging, to fit in the unhealthy tribes. She thinks she has the right to punch down on people the indoctrination says are lower than her. In her cult, gay men are lower than multi-divorced woman, apparently. Perhaps she doth protest too much and is Kinsey scale 1-6 herself, and resents all the people who enjoy their same-gender attractions, and who left the toxic, unhealthy systems behind, freed with the real truth.

    Davis, a conservative Christian who has been married four times, initially told the couple that she was acting “under God’s authority” when she refused to issue the license because she believes marriage is only between a man and a woman.

    This was always the punchline to me. A Karen can be married four times and still think her opinion on the sanctity of marriage is worthy enough to dictate other people’s ability to get married.

    I mean, the hypocrisy is very christian, but it’s always funny to see those details mentioned in the same sentence.
