Core Event: Federal Judge Throws Out Invasion-of-Privacy Claim
On September 17, 2026, U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz dismissed former NFL offensive tackle Matt Kalil’s lawsuit against his ex-wife, model and influencer Haley Kalil. The judge ruled that Haley’s public remarks about the size of Kalil’s penis—made during a November 2025 Twitch livestream—constituted “legitimate public concern” rather than an unlawful invasion of privacy.
