MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell threatened to take legal action against the Daily Mail after he published an article claiming he had a relationship with “30 Rock” actress Jane Krakowski.
“The story of the daily mail is a complete lie (I never knew it and I didn’t even go to the places in the article),” Lindell said in a message to Insider.
The founder of MyPillow, known to many as the “MyPillow guy” in infomercials, told Insider that he would sue the Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail reported this week that Lindell and Krakowski had a “passionate romance” in the summer. The article included details about a weekend spent at a beach house in Hamptons and the time we spent together in Manhattan’s West Village.
“He sent her flowers almost every week and champagne and bottles of different alcoholic beverages. She said she had known him for about eight years and that they were friends, but then they started a relationship about a year ago,” the Daily Mail quoted an anonymous source as saying.
Lindell told Insider in a text that he “had never been to that hamptons or the western village!”
He added, “Besides, I didn’t even know who the lady was.”
Krakowski, best known for her role as Jenna Maroney in “30 Rock”, also denied that they have a romance.
The actress’ representative told the New York Post’s Page Six: “Jane never met Mr. Lindell. She is not and has never been in any relationship with him, romantic or not. She is, however, in complete fantasy relationships with Brad Pitt, Rege-Jean Page and Kermit the Frog and welcomes any and all coverage about them. “
Representatives from the Daily Mail and Krakowski did not respond to Insider’s request for comment.
MyPillow made headlines as Lindell pushed through electoral fraud conspiracy theories
Lindell made headlines last Friday when he became one of the last people to visit President Donald Trump at the White House.
MyPillow’s CEO, a staunch supporter of Trump, has defended baseless conspiracy theories that Joe Biden stole the 2020 presidential election. Voting technology company Dominion has threatened to take legal action against Lindell.
“I’m not backing down on these machines that stole our election,” Lindell told Insider in an interview on Wednesday.
“I’m not going to change my mind about anything like that. I’m not going, ‘Oh, please don’t boycott me. Please don’t,'” added Lindell, turning his voice into a pitiful whimpering tone.
“It’s not me,” added Lindell. “If everyone does that, anyone who wants to control the narrative can do what they want and destroy companies.”
MyPillow’s CEO divorced twice, according to his book, “What are the odds? From crack addict to CEO.” In 2007, he separated from his 20-year-old wife and the mother of his four children, while the two struggled with crack addiction. In 2013, he married a woman named Dallas in a $ 100,000 luxurious wedding. They divorced 20 days later.
“I’m not in love with you,” Dallas said to Lindell shortly after the wedding, according to his book. “Besides, you are boring.”
Lindell told Insider on Friday that he was in a relationship with a woman named Kendra. Lindell’s sister introduced him to Kendra after they met at a Christian conference in 2012; Lindell wrote in her book that her sister insisted “that God had shown her that one day, Kendra and I would get married”.
Kendra played an important role in Lindell’s involvement in participating in more evangelical Christian events, which contributed to her interest in politics. Although Lindell said he is considering running for office, he told Insider on Wednesday that his main concern now was to deal with what he believes to be electoral fraud.
