There is no public record of the Clermont twins winning any money in a Bad Girls Club lawsuit. Shannon and Shannade Clermont are not documented as having filed or settled a case against the show’s producers, so the question of how much the Clermont twins won in the BGC lawsuit has no dollar figure attached to it. The two numbers that circulate online in connection with the twins and BGC come from different stories: a $200,000 property-damage claim that was never taken to court, and a separate 2016 lawsuit brought by a different set of twins.
Where the $200,000 Figure Comes From
The Clermont twins appeared on Bad Girls Club in 2015 and were removed from the show for threatening fellow cast members.1Oxygen.

That number is the alleged value of the destroyed belongings. It is not a settlement, a jury award, or any kind of court-ordered payment. The available research does not show that the Clermonts sued over the incident or that any compensation changed hands.
The Lawsuit People Confuse with the Clermonts
The BGC lawsuit that actually exists was filed by Amanda and Victoria Hepperle, a different pair of twin sisters who appeared on the show’s 15th season. Their 18-page complaint was filed on June 10, 2016, in Los Angeles Superior Court.3Courthouse News Service.

The Hepperles alleged that within ten minutes of arriving at the house, they were attacked by six cast members in a producer-orchestrated setup that began when a sack of flour dropped on them at the door.5Vice.

No verdict or settlement amount has been publicly reported in the Hepperle case. So even if a searcher is thinking of that lawsuit, no dollar figure is on the record.
The Clermont Court Record That Does Exist
The Clermont twins’ only well-documented court matter goes the other direction: it is a criminal case against Shannade Clermont, not a civil case she won. In July 2018, she was arrested and charged with stealing the debit card information of James Alesi, a 42-year-old real estate executive who died of an accidental overdose during a prostitution date at his Manhattan apartment on January 31, 2017. She used the stolen information to make or attempt more than $20,000 in fraudulent purchases.6U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of New York.

The bottom line is straightforward. The Clermont twins did not win a BGC lawsuit because, based on available records, they never brought one. The $200,000 figure describes property they say was destroyed, not money they received.
