Las Vegas, Nevada
August 17, 2024
In the convoluted world of Las Vegas politics, it seems no one spins a tale like Victoria Seaman. Recently, she has made headlines again, but not for her mayoral campaign.
Instead, she is embroiled in a lawsuit that has raised more questions than answers. Seaman’s attempts to block the release of her lawsuit settlement with the city have cast a shadow over her candidacy, leaving many to wonder about the truth behind her claims.
Let’s dive into the timeline that has sparked so much suspicion.
On April 5, 2017, Victoria Seaman was reportedly injured in a car accident involving her husband, John Seaman, who drove their vehicle into an excavation site on Rampart Boulevard.
According to Seaman, the accident was life-threatening, requiring multiple surgeries and leaving her on the brink of death.
Yet, despite these alleged severe injuries, Seaman was able to bounce back and run for the state senate just weeks later. This miraculous recovery raises eyebrows, especially when considering the odds of such an accident occurring in the first place.
To put things into perspective, approximately 78,000 cars pass by the Rampart Street location daily, totaling a staggering 28,470,000 vehicles over a year.
A person’s chances of injury at that particular excavation site are 1 in 28,470,000 annually. And that one person in 2017 just happened to be Victoria Seaman.
The odds seem almost as improbable as hitting the jackpot at a dollar slot machine in the Wynn casino.
In a city with a population of 650,000, the likelihood of someone driving into that excavation site on April 5, 2017, was 1 in 650,000.
Yet, defying these odds, John Seaman went into the site and injured Victoria Seaman. The story becomes even more suspicious when one considers the timing of the subsequent lawsuit.
Victoria Seaman sued the City of Las Vegas—not just for compensation but punitive damages—while she was running for city council. Just 43 days after she was elected, the Seamans received a generous settlement from the city.
Seaman has tried to dismiss the controversy as “dirty campaign tricks,” accusing her opponents of unfairly targeting her.
However, it is essential to remember that Seaman herself decided to conceal records and court documents related to the case.
How can this be considered “dirty tricks” when she hides the truth from the public? Seaman’s tendency to play the victim is not new. We saw it before when she accused Michelle Fiore of attacking her.
Seaman’s comments in the recent Review-Journal article were riddled with exaggerations and misleading statements. Her claim that she “almost died” and underwent several surgeries may tug at the heartstrings, but the facts of her recovery and subsequent political ambitions tell a different story.
It’s as if Seaman wants to portray herself as a tragic heroine overcoming impossible odds. Still, her narrative seems more like a calculated move to gain sympathy and distract from the real issues.
The public has grown weary of Seaman’s endless drama at City Hall. Her repeated attempts to cast herself as a victim are wearing thin, and her latest antics only serve to reinforce the perception that she is more interested in playing political games than in serving the people of Las Vegas.
The Seaman’s’ settlement with the city, reached just weeks after her election to the City Council, raises serious ethical questions.
Was this a genuine claim or a calculated move to secure financial gain at a critical moment in her political career? The settlement’s timing and secrecy only add to the suspicion that something is amiss.
As Seaman continues her mayoral campaign, these questions will not go away. Las Vegas voters deserve transparency and honesty from their leaders, not more drama and deception.
It’s time for Seaman to disclose the true nature of her lawsuit and the settlement she received.
The people of Las Vegas are tired of being kept in the dark.
They deserve to know what happened on April 5, 2017, and why Victoria Seaman has gone to such lengths to keep the details hidden.
Enough is enough. It’s time for Seaman to stop playing the victim and start answering the tough questions that her actions have raised. The public deserves nothing less.
