An attorney representing Miami Dolphins<\/u> wide receiver Tyreek Hill is denying allegations made by a social media influencer that the star wideout broke her leg during a football drill at his Florida home last summer, calling her recent lawsuit a “scare tactic.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sophie Hall claimed in a lawsuit filed in Broward County last week that Hill “forcefully and purposefully” shoved her after the two were participating in a “friendly football lesson,” where Hall claimed to have “humiliated” the NFL player<\/u> when she knocked him backward.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Hill then allegedly “charged into her violently and with great force, resulting in significant and serious injuries” on a later play, leading to Hall\u2019s injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The crushing force was so great that she sustained a right leg fracture, necessitating surgery with metal hardware implantation,” the lawsuit continued.<\/p>\n

Julius B. Collins told the outlet that he believes the lawsuit was filed to “generate bad publicity for Mr. Hill in an attempt to ‘scare tactic’ him into personally covering the cost of Ms. Hall’s medical bills.”<\/p>\n
Collins also accused Hall’s counsel of purposefully omitting the information about the dog from her original complaint. According to ESPN, the complaint mentions that a dog had disrupted a drill, but did not say that it had caused Hall to fall.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dolphins general manager Chris Grier told reporters at the NFL Combine on Wednesday that the team was aware of the allegations but could not comment further.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We were in communication with NFL security, so I really can\u2019t comment on anything of that until we get all our information and find out what happened. For us, Tyreek has been a good addition for us, but in terms of all the off-field stuff, we\u2019ll have to get all the information before we can really comment on it.”<\/p>\n
