Former NFL Minnesota Vikings star Matt Kalil (36) has taken his ex-wife, influencer Haley Kalil (33), to court for broadcasting his extremely private body information to the world. The explicit sexual descriptions that emerged during the divorce proceedings became the crux of the issue.
According to TMZ Sports and People magazine on the 8th (local time), Matt Kalil filed a lawsuit against Haley Kalil on the 6th for 'invasion of privacy' and 'unjust enrichment', claiming damages of over $75,000 (approximately 110 million won).
◆ "Size of 0.01% of the Population... It Was Unbearable"
The controversial statement was made in November 2025 when Haley appeared on a Twitch streamer's broadcast. She described the reason for her divorce from Matt, saying, "His body size was so large that a marital relationship was impossible," adding, "It felt like stacking two, maybe three Coke cans on top of each other." She continued, "It was so painful that I was brought to tears, and I even went to the hospital, but it didn't get resolved."
Matt Kalil's side claimed in the lawsuit that "the plaintiff's desire to live quietly after retirement was destroyed by the defendant's 'invasive and insulting' remarks." They particularly expressed that his current wife, Keilani Asmus, who remarried in 2024, has been receiving increasingly frequent and disturbing messages from the public since the statement, causing the entire family to suffer.
◆ "Selling Privacy" vs "Freedom of Expression"
Matt Kalil criticized Haley for using provocative material to increase views and engagement for financial gain. In contrast, Haley Kalil's side immediately pushed back. Her lawyer, Matthew Bialik, stated, "This lawsuit is an attempt to prevent a woman from truthfully speaking about her past relationship," arguing that it is a "serious challenge to the First Amendment (freedom of the press) and a dangerous precedent." Haley herself expressed regret, saying, "I was hurt by him, who put our families through trials."
◆ 'The Weight of Truth' to be Determined in Court in 2026
Matt Kalil, who made a glamorous debut as the 4th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, and Haley Kalil, a former Sports Illustrated model, were married in 2015 and were referred to as a 'star couple' but divorced in 2022. As Matt Kalil has requested a jury trial, whether his ex-wife's 'honest confession' constitutes defamation and invasion of privacy, or is protected as freedom of expression, will ultimately be determined in court.
