A judge dismissed former NFL player Matt Kalil’s lawsuit against his ex-wife, influencer and model Haley Baylee, on Thursday. The court ruled that Baylee’s comments were protected speech because she was discussing her own life, marriage, and divorce, which the judge considered matters of legitimate public concern.
The lawsuit stemmed from Baylee’s appearance on a 2025 Twitch stream with streamer Marlon, where she said Kalil’s penis size was“the biggest factor”in their divorce. Kalil’s attorney, Ryan Saba of Rosen Saba LLP, responded to the dismissal by saying they intend to appeal the decision, meaning this legal back-and-forth is likely far from finished.
The case raises real questions about free speech, privacy, and how far ex-partners can go when talking publicly about intimate details of a marriage. With an appeal on the table, the outcome could eventually shape what exes are allowed to say about each other online.
Do you think a judge should be able to decide what an ex can say about a marriage? Sound off in the comments.
