Former NFL offensive tackle Matt Kalil has taken legal action against his ex-wife, popular influencer Haley Baylee, following intimate comments she made about their past relationship. The controversy began during a livestream in late 2025, where Haley discussed the reasons behind their 2022 divorce.
Kalil, who was the fourth overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft and played for the Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers, filed the lawsuit in early January 2026. He alleges that Haley’s public disclosures were a breach of privacy and intended to humiliate him for digital clout.
The lawsuit marks a sharp turn in the relationship between the former couple, who had previously claimed to be on amicable terms following their split. While Haley defended her remarks as lighthearted and a way to share her personal truth, Kalil argues that the information shared was highly intimate and never meant for the public.

Details On Matt Kalil’s Lawsuit After Ex-Wife’s Graphic “Coke Can” Remarks Go Viral
The core of the lawsuit centers on a specific comparison Haley made during a Twitch appearance, where she described Kalil’s size as being in the “top 0.01 percent of the population.” She went as far as to compare his manhood to “two Coca-Cola cans stacked on top of each other,” claiming that the physical incompatibility was the primary factor that ended their marriage.
In his legal complaint, Kalil sues for invasion of privacy and “unjust enrichment,” claiming that Haley financially benefited from the surge in traffic and engagement these comments brought to her social media accounts. He argues that his private life was turned into content to boost her brand and follower count.
Haley has expressed genuine shock at the filing, stating through representatives that she still cares for Matt and felt her comments were being taken out of context. However, the legal documents allege that the “Coke can” comparison was a deliberate act of sensationalism.
He Claims “Degrading” Public Disclosures Led To Harassment And Unwanted Attention
Beyond the personal embarrassment, Matt Kalil’s lawsuit highlights the real-world harassment he and his family have faced since the remarks went viral. Kalil claims that he has been subjected to constant degrading messages and unwanted attention from strangers in public.
Perhaps most significantly, the lawsuit mentions the impact on Kalil’s current wife, Keilani Asmus. According to the documents, Keilani has received disturbing messages from trolls following Haley’s livestream.
Some reports suggest that former teammates were aware of the situation long before it became a public scandal. However, Kalil’s legal team maintains that there is a massive difference between locker room talk and a public broadcast to millions of followers. By pursuing this lawsuit, Kalil hopes to hold his ex-wife accountable for what he describes as a calculated move to prioritize viral fame over the privacy of a former partner.
