THE healthcare providers being sued by Lindsay Clancy’s ex-husband Patrick are using a bombshell statement from her own lawyer to try to get his $1 million lawsuit thrown out.

Patrick filed the case in January 2026, accusing the professionals who treated Lindsay of failing to properly manage her deteriorating mєntal health before she killed their three children.

But in an emergency motion filed November 2, the defendants asked a Massachusetts judge to consider new information before ruling on their bid to have the case dismissed.

The dramatic move came days after Lindsay’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, publicly denied she had ever told her doctors she was having thoughts of 𝘬iᩚlling her children.

In his October 28 statement, he said, “Lindsay Clancy never told any of her healthcare providers that she harbored homicidal ideation toward her children.”

He also denied Lindsay had agreed to testify in Patrick’s civil lawsuit, insisting she had never indicated she intended to take the stand.

In a pointed rebuke, he added, “Mr. Clancy’s counsel does not speak for Lindsay Clancy.”

Now, in court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun, the healthcare providers have seized on Reddington’s remarks to bolster their defense.

“This statement directly contradicts key representations made by Plaintiff’s counsel during the recent hearing, in the Amended Complaint, and in the Opposition to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss,” the defendants argued.

They contend his denial supports their argument that Lindsay never communicated an explicit threat to 𝘬iᩚll or harm her children.

That distinction is crucial to their defense, as Massachusetts law provides certain protections for mєntal health professionals against claims brought on behalf of third parties.

The defendants also challenge allegations that Lindsay made explicit threats, arguing they were introduced only after the healthcare providers raised their legal immunity defense.

They describe the allegations as “speculative, conclusory, and lack a good faith factual basis.”

The healthcare providers are now asking Judge Doolin to add Reddington’s statement to the court record or reopen arguments before deciding whether to dismiss the case.

The emergency filing follows a dramatic October 28 hearing at Norfolk Superior Court, where Patrick’s attorney Howard Cooper urged Judge Michael Doolin to allow the wrongful-dєatᩚh lawsuit to proceed.

As The U.S. Sun previously reported, Cooper argued that Lindsay herself could become a key witness.

“You know who hasn’t testified yet, Your Honor? Lindsay Clancy,” Cooper told the judge.

Cooper said his team believed Lindsay would eventually testify that she had explicitly told her healthcare providers about homicidal thoughts and fears that something terrible could happen to her children.

He suggested that any testimony would have to wait until issues involving Lindsay’s Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination were resolved.

Cooper insisted the allegations had been made in good faith and argued that Lindsay’s alleged warnings were sufficiently explicit to trigger an exception to the legal protections available to mєntal health professionals.

He also pointed to treatment notes that he said documented Lindsay’s suicidal thoughts, fears about being left alone and concerns about harm coming to her children.

But attorney Timothy Sweetland, representing two of the defendants, argued that the statements cited by Patrick’s team did not amount to an explicit threat under Massachusetts law.

Patrick’s lawsuit names psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Tufts, psychiatric nurse practitioner Rebecca Jollotta, Aster mєntal Health and South Shore Health System.

It alleges the providers failed to properly monitor and coordinate Lindsay’s care, prescribed a “bevy of diverse and powerful medications” and relied on virtual appointments, some allegedly lasting as little as 17 minutes.

The legal battle follows the deaths of Cora, five, Dawson, three, and eight-month-old Callan, who were strangled with exercise bands at the family’s Duxbury, Massachusetts, home on January 24, 2023.

Lindsay’s murder trial ended in a mistrial in September after jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict.

Her lawyers argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible, while prosecutors maintained she understood her actions.

The jury was reportedly split 11-1 in favor of finding her not criminally responsible.

Lindsay remains in a psychiatric facility as her legal team fights to have the triple murder charges dismissed on double-jeopardy grounds.

Judge William Sullivan held a hearing on November 2 and scheduled a further hearing for November 16, although no retrial date has been set.

Her defense has also challenged the mistrial, arguing the judge should have investigated concerns about the lone holdout juror before declaring the jury deadlocked.
