The CEO of Dippin' Dots, whose ex-girlfriend accused him of waging a revenge porn campaign against her, admitted in court documents that he sent a photo and a text to his accuser's mother about taking the couple's dog.

In a June 29 court filing reviewed by Insider, Fischer's attorney denied the bulk of the claims in the lawsuit filed by Amanda Brown, a traveling nurse who dated Fischer for roughly two years. But the attorney also confirmed several key allegations Brown made, including that Fisher had communicated with Brown's mother last January, after the couple had broken up.

"On at least one recent occasion, Fischer delivered Amanda's private sexual image to perhaps the most traumatizing audience imaginable - Amanda's mother," the lawsuit alleged.

The lawsuit added that the image was accompanied by a threatening text mentioning the couple's dog: "I'm sending this out tomorrow. Then I'm going to file a petition for [the dog]. I asked for a peaceful exit. I said I had a girlfriend and wanted to move on peacefully. I can hurt so much more. Watch."

In the June 29 court filing, Fischer's attorney confirmed those allegations.

"Defendant admits he sent a photo of [Brown] and the alleged text to her mother on January 14, 2021," the documents said.

Brown's lawsuit also alleged that Fischer used his wealth "as a means to control or manipulate" her, make her "financially dependent," and prevent her from leaving him. The lawsuit added that Fischer would frequently leverage that financial dependency to demand photos from Brown, and accused him of sometimes surreptitiously capturing sexual images of her.

Brown alleged Fischer used her nudes as part of a "campaign of abuse and harassment" once she and Fischer broke up. She accused Fischer of threatening to send the images to her friends and family, or upload them to Pornhub.

Fischer's attorney wrote in the court filing that his client admitted to exchanging sexual images with Brown, but said they were sent "sometimes spontaneously, sometimes at the other's request, but always freely and consensually."

The attorney previously told TMZ that Brown's lawsuit was an "inflammatory" and "outlandish" attempt to extort Fischer.
