A social media influencer has filed a lawsuit against Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, alleging that he violently tackled her and fractured her leg during a training session at his south Florida home last summer. The lawsuit, filed in Broward County, Florida, circuit court, seeks in excess of $50,000 in damages.
The influencer, Sophie E. Hall, claims that Hill contacted her after her son attended his football camp and invited her to his home in Southwest Ranches. The lawsuit alleges that during a training session on a turf field at Hill's home, he asked Hall to participate in offensive line drills with him. When Hall followed his instructions and made contact with Hill, he allegedly charged into her violently, resulting in a severe leg fracture that required surgery.
According to the court documents, Hill did not seek medical attention for Hall's injury and downplayed its severity. Hall consulted an orthopedist upon returning home and was diagnosed with a right leg fracture.
Hall's attorney expressed disappointment that the matter had to escalate to a lawsuit and emphasized the importance of seeking a trial by jury. Neither Hill's agent nor the Miami Dolphins have responded to requests for comment on the lawsuit.
This legal action comes amidst a challenging period for Hill, who recently faced rumors of divorce from his wife and experienced a fire that destroyed a significant portion of his home. Authorities determined that the fire was caused by a child playing with a cigarette lighter inside the house.
