Legal action has been initiated against Tyreek Hill, the Miami Dolphins’ wide receiver, by Sophie Hall, a plus-sized influencer boasting over 2 million followers. Hall alleges that her leg was broken during a backyard football lesson at Hill’s Florida mansion last year.
The lawsuit, filed in Broward County on Friday, claims that Hall, an influencer, model, and actor residing in Pasco County, was invited to participate in an offensive line blocking drill after observing Hill’s training session. She asserts that Hill, having noticed her on Instagram and playfully commented on her height, extended the invitation after she registered her son for the Dolphins player’s football camp last June.
Following Hill’s training session on his turf field, Hall was allegedly invited to partake in an offensive line blocking drill. During the first repetition, she, standing at 6 feet 1 inch, reportedly managed to push the 5 feet 10 inches Hill backward, eliciting laughter from witnesses, including Hill’s trainer, mother, and sister.
However, during a subsequent repetition with the roles reversed, Hill purportedly charged into Hall violently, causing significant injuries. The lawsuit claims that Hall suffered a fractured right leg, necessitating surgery and the implantation of metal hardware.
The complaint alleges that after feeling humiliated, Hill became enraged and forcefully shoved Hall, leading to the severe injury. The lawsuit also references Hill’s past history of “violent and aggressive behavior towards women,” citing his dismissal from Oklahoma State in 2014 over a domestic violence arrest.
Hill, 29, is fresh off a highly productive season with Miami, recording a career-high 1,799 receiving yards on 119 catches with 13 touchdowns.
