Instagram-famous bodybuilder and bar bashing victim Clinton Chadwick has lost almost half of his court-awarded $200,000 compensation payout following a successful appeal.
Chadwick, an Only Fans model who is the founder of Rig Fit Active Wear, succeeded early this year in his lawsuit against Bondi Beach Foods, the owner of the now-defunct Bucket List, and security firm Crossguard Group, for failing to prevent the December 2017 assault which left Chadwick with a brain injury and PTSD.
He was awarded $200,706.40 for medical bills as well as past and future economic loss and compensation for his physical injuries after claiming his earning capacity – largely thanks to the impressive, heavily tattooed physique he showed off to his 425,000 followers on Instagram – had been diminished by his inability to continue properly working out as a result of his injuries.
However, Bondi Beach Foods and Crossguard Group appealed the judgment to the Court of Appeal, arguing in part that Chadwick’s initial aggressive behaviour towards his attacker that day had contributed to the assault.
The court ultimately found Bucket List’s appeal and Crossguard’s cross-appeal were allowed “in part” and slashed the compo payout to $113,000.
Chadwick has recently reinvented himself as a wellness and gym coach, launching a new venture on Insta called Conscious Coaching.
For US$10,000 (AUD$15,381), participants can get eight weeks of one-on-one training with Chadwick including a one-hour introduction call for goal setting, then two one-hour “check-in” video sessions a week.
Chadwick boasts his program aims to “raise your vibration” and covers the areas of fitness, nutrition, mindset, spirituality, morning rituals, business and detox.
