Matt Kalil’s ex-wife fires back with a ‘sexual sovereignty’ argument in a dramatic twist to the legal saga over her controversial manhood comment
Matt Kalil’s ex-wife, Haley Baylee, is pushing back against his lawsuit against her.
Her lawyer, Matthew Bialick, filed a motion to dismiss the suit, according to the Daily Mail.
Kalil, who played six years in the NFL with the Vikings and Panthers, sued Baylee for invasion of privacy after she went on a livestream and claimed the size of his penis was the “biggest factor” in their divorce.
She described it as being the size of “two coke cans, maybe even a third,” causing intimacy issues.
“Deadass … for our whole marriage, deadass,” Baylee said Marlon Garcia’s “Mar-Athon” livestream. “But I was going to try it all. We tried it all: therapist, doctors. Not even lying … Looked up lipo-type s–t … That’s why it’s kinda funny. It’s like my life is a comedy, and it kinda writes itself. That was the biggest factor.
“We’ve tried, impossible unless you’re going to be in tears.”

Bialick told TMZ he will attempt to get the case thrown out under the pretense that Baylee has “erotic autonomy,” which he describes as the freedom to discuss and make decisions around her own sexuality.
He said Baylee was “exercising her sexual sovereignty by truthfully describing a sexual experience.”
In his suit, Kalil called the comments “invasive” and said they destroyed his chance to stay out of the public eye, according to TMZ.

He alleges that they gave him “unwanted attention and invasive commentary from the public,” and that his family members “have been forced to endure the ongoing public circulation of these degrading and deeply personal statements.”
Kalil is requesting a jury trial and damages for an amount that exceeds $75,000.
He also claimed that Baylee “received substantial financial benefit, increased viewership, increased engagement, and monetization through various social media platforms and media coverage.”
Kalil and Baylee married in 2015 and divorced seven years later.

He spent the first five years of his career with the Vikings, earning a Pro Bowl nod as a rookie, before finishing his career with the Panthers.
