Brian Littrell’s $50,000 lawsuit against the woman he claims trespassed on his private beach property has been dismissed by a Walton County, Fla., judge.
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, the judge dismissed the case “without prejudice” on Tuesday for “failing to state a claim for which relief can be granted.”
However, Brian and his wife, Leighanne Littrell, have 20 days to refile an amended complaint for their case.
A rep for Brian and Leighanne did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The couple first took legal action against Carolyn Barrington Hill on Sept. 19, 2025, accusing her of seven counts of illegal trespassing, one count of invasion of privacy and one count of stalking over incidents that took place between April 2025 through September 6, 2025. However, they later dismissed their count of stalking.
They claimed in their legal filing that Hill “ignored the no trespassing” signs on their Santa Rosa Beach property and entered the area “without right or authority.”
They alleged that Hill “set out to antagonize, bully and harass” them with her “multiple” “unauthorized entries” that started in April.
Brian and Leighanne further claimed that they suffered “emotional distress” because Hill’s “trespassing” hindered their “use and enjoyment of the property.”
In the judge’s order, Littrell’s claim for emotional was dismissed because “emotional distress damages are not permitted on a claim for trespassing.”
Brian and Leighanne also listed their BLB Beach Hut LLC as a plaintiff, and as a legal entity and not a person, it cannot experience emotional distress, according to the judge.
In one incident the pair accused Hill of setting up her own beach furniture on their property before she engaged in a heated exchange with their property manager.
The lawsuit alleged that Hill started “shouting and cursing” at their property manager after he asked her to move her things.
They also claimed she “videotaped” them without their “knowledge or consent” and “incited” other members of the public to join her in her alleged trespassing of their property.
In addition to Hill, the Littrells also named the Walton County Sheriff’s Office in their suit for allegedly failing to enforce their private property rights.
