NFL star Tyreek Hill is now being sued by social media influencer Sophie Hall for allegedly crushing her right leg with “crushing force” during a football lesson outside his Florida residence this past summer.
According to legal documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Hall stated that Hill felt “humiliated when she managed to “hold her own” and even knocked him backward while doing a series of practice drills at his home.
He allegedly ended up retaliating by rushing at her and knocking her to the ground. She stated the hit was with such ferocity that she needed reconstructive surgery and months of physiotherapy.
The documents read, “Tyreek Hill, a National Football League superstar, perennial Pro Bowler, First Team All-Pro, and world-class athlete nicknamed the ‘Cheetah’ for his incredible combination of strength and speed, makes his living humiliating and outperforming his competition on the football field.”
“Unfortunately, after getting ‘humiliated’ in front of friends and family when he was knocked backwards during a friendly football lesson by his friend Sophie Hall, Tyreek became enraged and forcefully and purposefully shoved Ms. Hall, severely fracturing her leg.”
Hall further pointed out that Hill reached out to her with “flirtatious” messages on Instagram last May. Her 10-year-old had been enrolled in the Tyreek Hill Football Camp. She explained Hill refused to believe she was 6’1. He flew her to Florida at the end of June to hang out at his home.
“Defendant Hill invited Ms. Hall to participate in offensive drills with him,” the docs continued. “Defendant Hill told her that ‘since her 10-year-old son played offensive lineman she should practice that position as well.”
Things Take a Turn When Tyreek Hill Gets Intense During Practice Drills
As Tyreek Hill and Sophie Hall started the drill, things quickly became intense. As Hall did as instructed and made contact with Hill, the NFL star’s attitude allegedly changed and he became angry.
“[On the third play] Hill rushed through as Ms. Hall held her own against Mr. Hill,’ the docs reveal. “Defendant Hill charged into her violently and with great force, resulting in significant and serious injuries.”
The “crushing force” was notably so great that Hall sustained a right leg fracture. This resulted in needing surgery with a metal hardware implantation.
To make matters worse, Tyreek Hill supposedly downplayed the injuries. He offered Hall ice and a bed to lay in. After struggling with pain for days, she was diagnosed with a right leg fracture. Hall said the injury still causes her persistent pain and weakness. This is even after weekly physio sessions.
“Defendant Hill’s aggression towards Ms. Hall is consistent with his history of violent and aggressive behavior towards women,” the docs also reveals.
“Defendant’s actions of striking and/or threatening plaintiff’s person with physical violence went beyond all reasonable bounds of decency and defendant’s actions are to be regarded as outrageous, odious and utterly intolerable in civilized community.”
Hall is notably suing Hill for battery, assault, and negligence.
