Michelle Hadley spent 88 days in jail for a twisted stalking plot she had nothing to do with … and now we know how much money was shelled out to her over the massive screw-up.
Here’s the deal … Michelle is the focus of a new Netflix documentary, “A Toxic Love Story,” about a 2016 cyberstalking case out of Anaheim … where she was tossed into the clink after her ex-boyfriend, Ian Diaz, and his fiancée, Angela Connell, framed her for outlandish crimes … such as trying to arrange for Angela to get raped via a Craigslist ad.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Michelle settled with Anaheim police for $1.8 million back in 2021 … after she sued the city for what the doc shows was sloppy, rushed police work — all because Ian used his influence as a U.S. Marshal at the time.
We’re told her attorneys received 40% of the settlement … and she didn’t have to pay their taxes because it was a civil rights case.
Still, we’re told Michelle’s portion was taxed … and her family also dropped about $35,000 on attorneys’ fees during her criminal ordeal.
The Netflix doc say she settled her lawsuit with the police … but the amount was not shared, so TMZ looked into it.
At the end of the day, Michelle ended up with about $800K … which she spent on a new condo in Connecticut and finishing her master’s degree in marketing at Chapman University.
