Haley Kalil Faces Lawsuit from Ex-Husband Matt Kalil Over Intimate Revelations
In a highly publicized legal battle, Haley Kalil, a renowned model, is fighting a lawsuit from her ex-husband and former NFL player, Matt Kalil, centering on accusations of disclosing intimate details about their marriage.
Background of the Case
Matt Kalil, known for being a first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2012 NFL Draft, filed a suit against Haley earlier this month. The lawsuit claims “invasive commentary” and unjust enrichment after Haley discussed his physical attributes during a Twitch livestream in November 2025.
Key Details from the Lawsuit:
- Allegations: Matt claims Haley’s comments have led to public ridicule and unwanted attention.
- Divorce Filing: Haley filed for divorce in 2022, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
- Claims of Incompatibility: In court documents, Haley stated that their marriage suffered from a “specific anatomical incompatibility” that rendered a normal sexual relationship impossible.
Legal Arguments
Haley’s lawyer, Matthew Bialick, expressed confidence that the motion to dismiss will be granted, emphasizing Minnesota’s strong commitment to free speech. Bialick stated:
“Allowing a lawsuit to proceed against a woman for sharing a truthful, autobiographical account of sexual trauma would directly undermine those core values.”
Citing Freedom of Speech
Haley argues that her disclosures represent a truthful account of her experiences and hence should be protected. Her assertions counter the claim that she has violated marital privacy.
Matt’s Counterargument
On the other side, Matt’s attorney, Ryan Saba, claims that Haley’s motion does not dispute the fact that she disclosed private and intimate details, resulting in harm. Saba noted:
“A spouse does not have a right to expose private and confidential marital and sexual details for the purpose of profiting.”
The Twitch Livestream Incident
During her livestream, Haley mentioned that Matt’s size was “the biggest factor” in their divorce after nearly seven years of marriage. This comment, alongside her acknowledgment of him as a good person, has drawn significant attention.
Impact on Both Parties
-
Matt’s Claims:
- He asserts that the comments have led to public embarrassment and distress for him and his family including his current wife, Keilani Asmus, whom he married in April 2024.
- He describes the ongoing impact of these revelations as “degrading and deeply personal.”
- Haley’s Defense:
- She argues that expressing her truth should not lead to criminal liability, particularly regarding her experiences of sexual trauma.
Legal Consequences and Damages Sought
Matt Kalil is seeking over $75,000 in damages, requesting a jury trial based on claims of invasion of privacy and the disclosure of highly intimate facts about his physical and sexual life.
Conclusion
As this case unfolds, it highlights the complex intersection of personal disclosures, celebrity, and legal implications. Both Haley and Matt Kalil have made their marks in the public eye—she as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and he as a former prominent NFL player. The outcome of this lawsuit could set significant precedents for discussions surrounding privacy and free speech in personal narratives.
