Matt Kalil, who wore jerseys for the Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans, recently filed a lawsuit against model Haley Baylee for invasion of privacy and unjust enrichment.
And the former athlete is requesting compensation of more than $75,000 after the comments that his ex-partner made publicly about the size of his male member during a broadcast on the Twitch platform.
The controversy broke out when Baylee participated in an interview with streamer Marlon García and decided to speak without filters about the reasons for their separation in 2022. The model described her ex-husband’s anatomy with a comparison that quickly went viral: “It was like two cans of Coca-Cola on top of each other, maybe even a third.”
She added that intimate relationships were impossible “unless you are willing to cry,” revealing that throughout their marriage they tried to solve the situation with therapists and doctors without success.
“We were trying to do what we needed to do and trying hard in our marriage. Seriously… our entire marriage, really. We tried everything: therapists, doctors. I’m not lying. I looked for information about liposuction. That’s why it’s a little funny. “It’s like my life is a comedy that writes itself.”
Harassment towards the new wife of the former NFL player
Kalil and Baylee were one of the most high-profile couples in the world of professional sports and entertainment in the United States. Their marriage caught the attention of the specialized press, and their separation in 2022 generated multiple speculations that remained unanswered until the model’s recent interview.
However, the former player, who was selected in the first round of the 2012 Draft by the Vikings, remained silent about his private life until his ex-partner’s statements forced him to take legal action.
The legal documents filed say the revelations sparked a wave of “unwanted attention and invasive public comments” toward Kalil.
The lawsuit also details that his family has been “forced to endure the continued public circulation of these degrading and deeply personal statements.”
So much so that the harassment was not limited to the former athlete, since his current wife, model Keilani Asmus, whom he married in mid-2024, has received numerous messages referring to the couple’s sexual life. Therefore, the lawsuit includes screenshots of these messages as evidence of the damage caused.
Thus, Kalil argues that Baylee has benefited financially from the increase in traffic on her social networks after her comments went viral, while he and his family face the consequences of the exposure.
