Haley Kalil has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit by her ex-husband, former NFL player Matt Kalil, over comments she made about his penis size, citing First Amendment protections. The legal battle centers on whether her public discussion of intimate details constitutes free speech or invasion of privacy. In new court documents obtained by TMZ and Page Six, Haley Kalil, also known as Haley Baylee, is urging a judge to throw out the lawsuit filed by Matt Kalil earlier this month. She argues that the suit attempts to penalize her for sharing a truthful account of sexual trauma that contributed to the end of their marriage. The motion was filed on January 27, 2026, with both outlets reporting the development within the last 24 hours, confirming the event’s recency.
Haley’s legal team, led by attorney Matthew Bialick, asserts that Minnesota law strongly supports free speech, especially for autobiographical narratives. In her filing, she described the marriage as a ‘loving union’ hindered by a ‘physical incompatibility,’ specifically referencing Matt’s penis size during a November 2025 livestream. She emphasized that her comments were part of a broader discussion where she praised Matt’s character, calling him ‘the greatest guy in the world,’ and detailed efforts to save their relationship through therapy and medical consultations.
Matt Kalil, a retired offensive tackle for the Minnesota Vikings, sued Haley for invasion of privacy and unjust enrichment, seeking $75,000 in damages. His lawsuit claims that her ‘degrading and deeply personal comments’ about his penis size—comparing it to ‘two Coke cans stacked on top of each other’—led to widespread ridicule and unwanted public attention. According to court papers, the disclosure caused emotional distress for Matt and his current wife, Keilani Asmus, who received disturbing messages as a result.
Haley counters that her speech is protected under the First Amendment, which safeguards truthful autobiographical accounts, descriptions of sexual trauma, and discussions about public figures’ relationships. She contends that as a former NFL player and public figure, Matt’s life events are matters of public concern, and her withdrawal from the spotlight does not retroactively privatize their marital details. Her motion highlights that she spoke candidly about their divorce to share her experience, not to disparage him.
Matt’s attorney, Ryan Saba of Rosen Saba LLP, responded by stating that Haley’s motion misses the point, as it does not dispute the disclosure of private details. He argued that a spouse has no right to expose confidential marital and sexual information for profit or entertainment, expecting the motion to be denied. This legal back-and-forth underscores the tension between personal privacy and free speech rights in the digital age.
The couple married in 2015 and divorced in 2022, with Haley citing the anatomical issue as a key factor. In the livestream, she explained that they tried various solutions, including therapy and medical interventions, but found sexual compatibility impossible. This case raises questions about how celebrities navigate privacy in an era where personal stories are often shared online for public consumption.
A judge has yet to rule on the motion to dismiss, and the outcome could set a precedent for similar cases involving public figures and intimate disclosures. Legal experts are watching closely, as the decision may influence boundaries around free speech and privacy in celebrity relationships. For now, both parties await the court’s decision, which will determine whether the lawsuit proceeds or is dismissed.
