Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been sued by an overweight influencer with more than 2 million followers who claims her leg was broken during a failed backyard soccer lesson at the football star's Florida mansion last year.
Sophie Hall, an influencer, model and actress who lives in Pasco County, claimed she was invited to participate in an offensive line blocking exercise after watching Hill practice in his backyard, according to one on Friday lawsuit filed in Broward County.
Hall claimed she was asked to visit Hill's home after enrolling her son in the Dolphins player's football camp last June, and said he began sending direct messages to her on Instagram and was “on “in a flirtatious and playful manner” about her size, the lawsuit says.
After watching Hill go through a practice session on his turf field, Hall was invited to participate in an offensive line blocking drill, the lawsuit says. On the first rehearsal, Hall, who is 6-foot-1, claims she managed to push the 5-foot-1 Hill backwards, which a group of witnesses that included Hill's trainer, mother and sister said. led to laughter, the complaint says.
During a later replay, Hill performed the same drill, but with the roles reversed, and the All-Pro receiver “charged at her violently and with great force, resulting in significant and serious injury,” the lawsuit says. Hall suffered a fracture of his right leg, which required surgery and the implantation of metal fittings, according to the complaint.
“Unfortunately, after being 'humiliated' in front of friends and family when he was pushed backwards by his girlfriend Sophie Hall during a friendly soccer session, Tyreek became angry and violently and intentionally pushed Ms. Hall, causing her to sustain a serious broken leg , who required surgery with orthopedic reconstruction and hardware implantation,” the lawsuit states.
The complaint also references Hill's “violent and aggressive behavior toward women.” The wideout was dismissed from Oklahoma State in 2014 because of a domestic violence arrest in which he later pleaded guilty to beating and choking his then-pregnant 20-year-old girlfriend.
Hill, 29, is coming off a highly productive season for Miami, posting a career-high 1,799 receiving yards on 119 catches and 13 touchdowns.
