Overview of the Lawsuit
Haley Kalil, a model and influencer, is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit filed by her ex-husband, former NFL player Matt Kalil, regarding comments she made about his anatomy during a November 2025 Twitch livestream. Matt Kalil claims that Haley's remarks, which included comparisons of his penis size to "two coke cans," have led to "widespread ridicule" and have invaded his privacy. He is suing for damages exceeding $75,000, citing invasion of privacy and unjust enrichment.
Background of the Couple
Haley and Matt Kalil were married in 2015 but divorced in 2022, citing "irreconcilable differences." Following their split, Matt married model Keilani Asmus in April 2024. During the livestream, Haley discussed the challenges in their marriage, stating that a "specific anatomical incompatibility" made a normal sexual relationship impossible. She characterized their relationship as a "loving union" ultimately hindered by this issue.
Legal Arguments and Positions
Haley's attorney, Matthew Bialick, argues that the lawsuit infringes on her First Amendment rights, emphasizing that Minnesota has a strong commitment to free speech. He stated, "Allowing a lawsuit to proceed against a woman for sharing a truthful, autobiographical account of sexual trauma would directly undermine those core values." Haley's legal team contends that her comments were not intended to disparage Matt but rather to provide context about their relationship.
Conversely, Matt's attorney, Ryan Saba, asserts that Haley's statements were invasive and resulted in unwanted public attention. He argues that a spouse does not have the right to disclose private marital details for profit, stating, "Haley Kalil’s motion to dismiss does not dispute the fact that she wantonly disclosed private and intimate details about Matt Kalil."
Public and Personal Impact
Matt claims that the fallout from Haley's comments has adversely affected his private life, particularly impacting his new wife, Keilani Asmus, who has reportedly received harassment online related to the comments. The lawsuit includes evidence of disturbing messages directed at Asmus, which Matt describes as increasingly frequent and alarming.
Haley has expressed her shock and hurt over the lawsuit, stating that litigation is a "harrowing and emotionally draining experience." She emphasized that her comments were part of a broader discussion that included praise for Matt, calling him "the greatest guy in the world."
What's Next?
As the legal proceedings continue, a judge is expected to rule on Haley's motion to dismiss the lawsuit. Both parties remain entrenched in their positions, with Haley's camp confident in their defense of free speech and Matt's team prepared to contest the dismissal vigorously.
