A Santa Monica judge has approved a $3 million settlement for former adult performer Emily Willis, following a lawsuit alleging that a 2024 stay at Summit Malibu rehabilitation centre left her severely incapacitated. The agreement resolves the case against the facility’s owner but does not establish publicly what happened during her treatment, leaving major questions about her condition and the alleged failures unanswered.

Willis, 25 when she was found unresponsive at the centre, is reportedly unable to move or communicate except occasionally through eye movements or grunts; after fees, she is expected to receive about $1.26 million, which her family will manage. Before the incident, she had rapidly become one of the adult industry’s most prominent performers, winning major AVN and XBIZ awards and appearing in the 2023 Sundance film *Divinity*.
