FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Social media influencer and model Sophie Hall is suing former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, alleging he violently fractured her leg during what she describes as a “friendly football lesson gone wrong,” according to a civil lawsuit obtained by Local 10 News.
Jury selection began Wednesday, with six jurors chosen from a pool of 100 applicants.
Hill, 32, appeared in court dressed in a white shirt, seated with his attorneys and maintaining a serious expression throughout the proceedings. Hall and her legal team were seated across the courtroom.
According to a 15-page complaint, Hall and Hill met in May 2023 after Hill invited her to spend several days at his Southwest Ranches home. The lawsuit alleges Hall participated in offensive line drills alongside Hill and his trainer during the visit.
The filing claims tensions escalated after Hall allegedly pushed Hill backward during one of the drills, which made observers laugh, including members of Hill’s family. The suit also alleges that Hill became embarrassed and, shortly after, charged into Hall during a subsequent play, causing a fracture to her right leg.
Hall, 36, underwent surgery that included “metal hardware impantation,” according to the lawsuit, and now attends weekly physical therapy. She alleges she continues to experience persistent pain and weakness.
She also claimed that Hill failed to get her any medical attention when the incident occurred.
She is seeking up to $50,000 in damages, alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence.
Hill’s legal team has denied wrongdoing, arguing in court filings that Hall was negligent in participating in what they described as strenuous and potentially dangerous football drills.
Jury selection is ongoing. The case is expected to proceed to trial once a panel is seated.
Hill was released from the Dolphins in February after spending four seasons with the team.
