Hadley and Brad Palmer lived a pampered life in Greenwich and Martha’s Vineyard—until a nasty divorce and her conviction for filming naked teens at their “party house” mansion.
“I don’t know if it’s good news or bad news. I really don’t know how to take it that she’s getting out early,” one of Hadley’s former acquaintances told The Daily Beast, adding that they struggle to comprehend the charge that she exploited minors for her own sexual aims.
Some former contacts of the couple even expressed sympathy for Hadley, who for a short while was Inmate No. 439165 at York Correctional Institution, the state’s only prison for female offenders. “I don’t think Hadley’s a good person, I think she’s a self-serving person,” they added. “I do, however, have a hard time believing she would do this for her own sexual gratification. She never came across to me as creepy or weird.””
But one person knowledgeable about the case disagreed with this characterization. They said that Brad was in the process of serving Hadley with divorce papers—that came with a demand for sole custody of their minor child—in May 2020 when she asked him to reconsider. “While those papers were on the way to being served, Ms. Palmer told Mr. Palmer she was willing to enter into counseling with a new counselor and so Mr. Palmer asked that the divorce papers not be served,” the person said.
“He’s a great father, he’s devoted to his kids, devoted to children’s issues not only in the U.S. but around the world,” added Shriver, a member of the Kennedy family. “He’s very generous with his time, and his talents and his treasure, and I think whenever a divorce happens it’s very sad for everyone.”
Police records obtained through a public records request also showed that cops executed a search warrant at the couple’s mansion in April 2021.They literally had a dog that they would send into the city for psychiatric help for like $1,000 a session.Still, Hadley’s case remains shrouded in mystery because of the judge’s sealing—a move which startled criminal defense lawyers, open government experts, and anyone paying close attention.
Finkelhor said that in Palmer’s case, someone may have discovered the illicit images and filed a police report, and the victims insisted on closed records in order to testify or contribute to the criminal action. Prosecutors may have “wanted to bring the case nonetheless,” Finkelhor said, “because there’s a lot of effort on the part of law enforcement these days to crack down on nonconsensual sexual image sharing.
Meehan called Hadley “a very caring, loving and sincere human being” embroiled in a “very unique set of circumstances.” He added, “I think there’s been a tremendous amount of information that’s been written about this woman, some fairly, some unfairly, and I wanted those comments placed on the record.”
Another acquaintance of the Palmers told The Daily Beast that Hadley’s crimes “seem so enormously out of character.” They said that in their interactions with the couple in years past, they’d felt sorry for Hadley because her relationship with her husband had, from their perspective, appeared strained.
The discovery process has been so combative that an independent third-party known as attorney “special master” was appointed to handle disputes over the materials. And while Hadley’s lawyers requested information on Brad’s social media accounts—for basic sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp—Brad’s team demanded “a complete download” of potential accounts on less mainstream platforms. Those included extramarital dating site Ashley Madison, Adult Friend Finder, “elitist” dating app The League, and a kink site called Fetlife.
