@frank.news35: Former adult actress Emily Willis has been awarded a $3 million payout by a Los Angeles judge due to the alleged 'irreversible brain damage' she suffered. The 27-year-old was the victim of a 'horrendous breakdown in clinical care' while attending the Summit Malibu rehab facility, a Lawsuit filed by her loved one,  in December 2024 claimed. Those closest to her alleged that her 'health  was ignored until it was too late', causing her life to change 'forever'. After more than a year of count showdown an agreement has now finally been reached. However, the lawyer representing her said the case 'was no slam dunk'. Willis  - real name Litzy Lara Banuelos - was allegedly left permanently disabled  after she suffered a serious cardiac arrest at the Summit Malibu rehab facility. According to court documents, Willis’ health deteriorated during her stay and she allegedly experienced symptoms such as dehydration, infection, and severe physical distress that were not properly addressed by staff. She had sought assistance from the clinic to overcome her reliance upon ketamine, as she was consuming five to six grams a day. On 4 February, 2024, Willis was found unconscious at the facility and it took 30 to 40 minutes of CPR before a pulse returned. The prolonged lack of oxygen allegedly caused irreversible brain damage, leaving Willis with severe paralysis and long-term disability. Following the incident, Willis' mum Yesenia Lara Cooper filed a lawsuit against summit Maiibu and its parent company, Malibu Lighthouse Treatment Centers, in December 2024. Summit Malibu's lawyers previously claimed in court docs that Willis 'had refused to follow medical recommendations and take her medications'. They said Willis declined the staff’s recommendation that she be transported to a hospital prior to suffering the heart attack, claiming: "She refused to go to urgent care or the hospital voluntarily, despite being encouraged to do so." The rehab facility denied any wrongdoing.
