Former Miami Dolphins star cornerback Xavien Howard is facing new allegations in a court filing that he sent a sexually explicit photograph of a teenager’s mother because she refused to have an abortion. The lawsuit, filed by a woman who is not the teenager’s mother, accuses Howard of secretly recording their sexual encounters and sharing them with others without consent. Howard, who was released by the Dolphins this off-season, denies the claims and his attorney has stated that he looks forward to prevailing in court.
The attorneys representing the woman in the lawsuit describe Howard as operating by intimidation and force, causing destruction in the lives of those around him. The teenager, who is now 18, is seeking to be added as a plaintiff in the case, claiming that Howard’s actions have caused severe emotional distress. The teenager’s mother had a relationship with Howard and the attorneys allege that Howard texted the teenager a sexually explicit photograph of his mother engaging in sex as a way to debase and humiliate her.
In the original lawsuit filed under the pseudonym Jane Doe, a woman who dated Howard for several months in 2022 alleges that he shared sexually explicit videos of their encounters without her consent. Other women also came forward claiming that Howard had sent them videos after they refused his sexual advances. The woman in the original lawsuit stated that she agreed to allowing Howard to record their sexual activity once, but alleges that other recordings were done secretly without consent.
Howard, who played eight seasons with the Dolphins and intercepted 29 passes in 100 games, was released by the team this off-season in a money-saving move and is currently a free agent. His production declined in the past two seasons due to injuries, including groin, hip, and foot injuries. Despite his on-field success, Howard is now facing serious legal issues surrounding the allegations of recording and sharing sexual encounters without consent, as well as the recent allegations involving the teenager’s mother.
The attorneys representing the woman in the lawsuit are seeking to hold Howard accountable for his actions, which they describe as outrageous and beyond all boundaries of decency. They argue that Howard’s conduct has caused irreparable harm to the lives of the individuals involved and are pushing for the teenager to be added as a plaintiff in the case. As the legal battle unfolds, the former NFL star’s reputation and future in the league are now in jeopardy as he faces these serious allegations and legal consequences.
Despite the denial of the claims by Howard and his attorney, the lawsuit and the new allegations paint a troubling picture of the former Dolphins star’s behavior off the field. As the case moves forward in court, the truth behind the allegations will be revealed, and the impact of Howard’s actions on the lives of those involved will continue to be examined. The spotlight on Howard’s behavior raises important questions about accountability and responsibility for those in positions of power and influence, both in sports and in society as a whole.
