Jane Doe, who is suing Hulk Hogan's widow Sky Daily and her son Hayden Hitt over a March 2026 house party, alleges Clearwater police "quickly and quietly" closed her report because of Daily's ties to Scientology. The police say in a statement the case "is not closed," per TMZ.


The lawsuit says the cops quietly closed the file. The cops, in a statement, say they opened an investigation in March, referred it to the state attorney, and that "the case is not closed; media reports indicating that are inaccurate." That is the most PR shaped sentence a police department has ever sent, and it is the only new statement in the whole mess.

The other side answered with a video. USA Magazine has the transcript: "I am not a Scientologist. I have been a Christian for almost 20 years." Born into it, then Episcopalian. Her son's online electrician school is, she says, "normal stuff like biology and math." The allegations, she says, started with a stalker, and the whole thing "taken wings and gone to conspiracy land." God bless and good night.

Here is the mechanism. A lawsuit is a statement with a filing fee, and once it is filed the PR job is just outlasting it. No denial, no admission, just a video that ends in a blessing and a police department doing one piece of paperwork that rewrites the plot. The Church, which keeps an entire media department, has issued nothing.

YOUR TURN: If the case is "not closed," what exactly is it? Open? Pending? On a lunch break?
