It seems that the year 2024 hasn’t shone brightly for the tune of Tyreek Hill. The Miami Dolphins’ star wide receiver started the season with an injury and offseason knockout. Then, the 29-year-old experienced another tragedy as his $6.9 million Florida mansion burned down due to an accident.
After a devastating January to start the year, the end of February month has only brought more trouble to Hill’s plate. This time it’s a legal issue brought up by plus-size model Sophie Hall. Hall has reportedly filed a lawsuit against the athlete, leading to a controversy in the NFL world recently. Here’s the full story of what happened!

In a surprising incident, Tyreek Hill is currently facing legal troubles as model Sophie Hall has reportedly filed a lawsuit against him in Broward County, Florida, last week. Hall, known for her influence on OnlyFans and Instagram, works for the apparel brand – Fashion Nova Curve. She is also a mother of a 10-year-old child, whom Hall enrolled in Tyreek Hill’s football camp last year.
The model claimed that the athlete caused her significant harm during a backyard football lesson at his Florida residence. The alleged incident which occurred in June 2023, involved an aggressive blocking drill that allegedly led to Hall suffering a broken leg. As per the reports, the model has pressed charges of battery, assault, and negligence against Tyreek Hill, causing legal trouble once again in his life.
It’s important to note that Hill has had legal issues in the past, including a domestic violence arrest in 2014 that led to his dismissal from Oklahoma State’s football team. Now, again this alleged lawsuit against him, might impact the 29-year-old’s NFL career. This lawsuit also stated, “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.”
Now, the question is how they met each other and what exactly happened from the beginning.

The incident explained in detail!
In May 2023, Sophie Hall claimed that she booked a ticket for her 10-year-old son to attend one of Hill’s summer football camps in Boca Raton. As reported by TMZ, the lawsuit claimed that Hill messaged Hall on her Instagram on the day of registration, wanting to “meet up and get to know her.” Following an exchange of conversations, and some flirtatious messages from Hill on IG, she attended the camp on June 17 last year, where Hill asked her to visit him in the mansion. The outlet also mentioned that later, Hill arranged for her return on June 28 and participated in football drills.

As per the lawsuit presented by attorney Jonathan R. Gdanski, during an offensive vs defensive line workout, Hall allegedly pushed Hill backward, causing embarrassment. It was also reported by DailyMail, that Hill’s alleged angry reaction to being pushed backward in the drill reportedly resulted in excessive force during a subsequent attempt, leading to the injury. Soon after that incident, upon returning home on July 1, the 6 feet one-inch model, reportedly met an orthopedist, who diagnosed her with a leg fracture requiring metal hardware. Around 27 weeks ago, she also came up with the IG post, endorsing an outfit, while walking on crutches.
The lady claims that she is in “pain and agony,” and at present, reportedly is seeking around $75,000 for significant damages.
