“BREAKING NEWS: Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill Sue For Bad Mouthing American Sprinter Noah Lyles
BREAKING NEWS: American Sprinter Noah Lyles Files Defamation Lawsuit Against Tyreek Hill
Miami, FL – June 18, 2025 — Olympic gold medalist and world champion sprinter Noah Lyles has filed a defamation lawsuit against Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, alleging that Hill made false and damaging public statements that harmed Lyles’ reputation and professional standing.
The lawsuit, filed in a Florida civil court earlier this week, claims that Hill repeatedly “bad-mouthed” Lyles in interviews and social media posts, allegedly accusing the track star of ducking a race and exaggerating his accomplishments. The legal complaint describes Hill’s statements as “knowingly false, defamatory, and made with reckless disregard for the truth.”
Sources close to Lyles say the sprinter felt compelled to act after months of escalating trash talk from Hill, which culminated in a now-viral video where the NFL star allegedly questioned Lyles’ credibility and mocked his world championship titles.
“Noah Lyles has worked tirelessly to represent Team USA and the sport of track and field with honor,” said a representative for Lyles. “The baseless attacks on his character and career have crossed the line from friendly rivalry to reputational harm.”
The lawsuit reportedly seeks both monetary damages and a public retraction from Hill.
This legal action follows growing tensions between the two speedsters, which began when talks of a charity race between them surfaced last year. While fans eagerly anticipated a showdown, the event was ultimately canceled — leading to increased online back-and-forth between the two athletes.
As of this writing, Tyreek Hill and his legal team have not publicly responded to the lawsuit.
