Haley Kalil used a Jan. 6 podcast drop to detail surviving domestic abuse-then learned her ex-husband had filed suit against her hours earlier.
Abuse Claims on Podcast
Speaking with host Amanda Hirsch, the influencer said an ex-boyfriend, not Matt Kalil, was physically violent; emotional abuse and cheating happened in other relationships. The revelation explains the cast she wore in her first 2022 Billionaire Boyfriend skit.
- Called herself a “bad picker” who believes people too quickly
- Praised other “amazing” partners to avoid blanket-shaming
- Wants someone with “life experience” who can grow from mistakes
Same-Day Lawsuit
Matt Kalil’s complaint, also filed Jan. 6, targets comments Haley made on a November 2025 Twitch stream with Marlon Garcia. He says her jokes about their sex life and his anatomy subjected him to ridicule and breached his right to stay out of the spotlight.
| Party | Claim / Response |
|---|---|
| Matt’s attorney, Ryan Saba | “Invasive” disclosure done for “fortune and fame,” caused family & business harm |
| Haley’s attorney, Matthew Bialick | Case “legally unsupported,” aims to penalize a woman for “speaking openly and truthfully” |
Haley insists she spoke “highly of him” throughout the still-live YouTube video and is “heartbroken” he chose litigation.
Key Takeaways
- Haley links past abuse to creative work, not her marriage
- Matt’s suit focuses on Twitch sex-talk, not the podcast
- Both sides frame the dispute as a precedent-setting speech-versus-privacy fight
With the livestream still public and dismissal motions coming, the dueling narratives will test how much former partners can say online.
