Former Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard allegedly shared revenge porn, including sending a boy sexually explicit images of his mother, according to court filings.
Howard, 30, was sued by a woman in 2023 who claimed that she dated the NFL player in 2022. After the relationship ended, the woman — identified in court filings as Jane Doe — said she received a direct message on Instagram from a woman who claimed she was sent “several sexually explicit videos” of Howard having sex with various women, including Jane Doe.
According to the woman on Instagram, Howard sent the videos “to make her mad because she didn’t want to have sex with him.”
In a new document filed Thursday that was obtained by the Miami Herald, attorneys allege that Howard also sent sexually explicit content to a woman’s son after she refused to get an abortion. The attorneys have petitioned for the then-minor to be allowed to sue Howard and be added to the lawsuit.
“This behavior is abhorrent, especially sending that to a child,” attorney Adriana Alcalde told the Miami Herald.
Howard is currently a free agent after he was released by the team in March. The cornerback spent the first eight seasons of his NFL career with the Dolphins and the team has previously expressed interest in a potential reunion, although Howard said “that door is closed.”
