A federal judge has dismissed former NFL player Matt Kalil’s lawsuit against his influencer ex-wife Haley Kalil, better known online as Haley Baylee, over her viral remarks about his penis size.
U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz granted Haley’s motion to dismiss on September 17, throwing out the complaint with prejudice and on its merits.
The dispute began after Haley discussed her nearly seven-year marriage during a November 2025 Twitch livestream with creator Marlon Garcia.
Although she never named Matt, Haley referred to her only ex-husband and said the size of his penis was “the biggest factor” in their divorce. She compared it to “two Coke cans stacked on top each other,” adding: “Maybe even a third.”
Haley said the couple had sought help from therapists and doctors but were unable to resolve the issue. She repeatedly praised her ex during the stream, calling him the “greatest guy in the world” and “a really good guy.”
Matt filed his lawsuit in January 2026, accusing Haley of invasion of privacy and unjust enrichment. He sought more than $75,000 in damages and alleged that the comments subjected him and his family to unwanted attention, ridicule and invasive messages.

In his 14-page ruling, Schiltz acknowledged that the remarks concerned Matt’s private life and could be considered highly offensive to a reasonable person.
However, the judge ruled that they were of “legitimate public concern” because both Matt and Haley are public figures and the comments were made while she discussed her own marriage, health and divorce.
“Haley was discussing her life, not Matt’s,” Schiltz wrote, adding that people are generally allowed to share their own experiences even when doing so reveals details about others.
“If the only source of Matt’s celebrity was his career as a football player—and if Haley was just a random social‐media maven who passed on gossip about the size of Matt’s penis to get a laugh or to attract attention—then the Court would readily find that Haley’s comments were not of legitimate public concern,” he explained.
The judge also dismissed the offensive tackle’s unjust enrichment claim, finding there was nothing unlawful about Haley retaining any benefit generated by remarks that were not tortious. The court did not rule on her separate First Amendment defense because it was no longer necessary.
“I am so relieved this is over,” Haley told TMZ. “Your story belongs to you and you shouldn’t fear sharing it.”
However, Matt’s attorney Ryan Saba said his client intends to appeal the ruling.
The decision comes amid another unusual breakup-related legal battle, with crypto billionaire Justin Sun suing his ex-girlfriend and her parents to recover a $4.5 million betrothal gift.
