It was actually just supposed to be a casual training session, but something may have gone wrong: The influencer Sophie Hall accuses football star Tyreek Hill of missing a tackle during a training session on his property and breaking her leg.

The 34-year-old British woman filed a lawsuit against the NFL professional from the Miami Dolphins in the US state of Florida on February 23rd.

Influencer Hall accuses football star Hill of bodily harm and negligent and intentional induction of emotional stress.

According to the indictment, Hill is said to have brought the woman to the ground “vigorously and purposefully.”

According to the indictment, the fracture had to be treated surgically.

Hall is seeking up to $75,000 in restitution.

What does the influencer accuse Hill?

Football star Hill met influencer Hall when her son attended his football camp.

He then invited Hall, who is followed by more than two million people on Instagram, to his home for a few days.

According to the indictment, the incident is said to have occurred during a training session there on June 28, 2023.

Influencer Hall is said to have taken part in the training.

She initially stopped Hill in a one-on-one duel.

The scene made the spectators present laugh, the lawsuit says.

Hall's lawyers wrote that Hill was "embarrassed" by this: "And he became angry."

During one of the next training games, Hill ran toward Hall "violently" and with force.

This led to “significant and serious injuries” to the influencer.

What does NFL star Hill say?

Hill's lawyer denies the allegations.

The claims are “baseless,” he told ESPN.

It's about "generating bad publicity for Mr. Hill in order to use intimidation tactics to get him to personally cover the costs of Ms. Hall's medical bills."

Hill's side also explained that the exercises were just playful.

The influencer injured herself because she tripped over a dog during training.

Tyreek Hill's team, the Miami Dolphins, have yet to comment on the lawsuit.

You first have to collect all the information, said manager Chris Grier.
