Tyreek Hill’s mom has been drawn into his bitter legal tussle with a plus-sized influencer who says the NFL superstar broke her leg in a practice football drill, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
OnlyFans beauty Sophie Hall says Anesha Sanchez was one of several witnesses who saw Hill, 30, charging at her with ‘crushing force’ during an impromptu training session at his Florida mansion.
Hall, 35, claims the speedy Dolphins wideout was smarting from the previous play where she unexpectedly knocked him off balance – prompting laughter from Sanchez and several others.
The model’s lawyers will get the chance to quiz the 48-year-old mom about what she remembers of the June 2023 clash when she sits down for a videotaped deposition in November.
She was served with a subpoena last month along with Hill’s sister Esperanza Sanchez and two more members of his entourage, according to court documents seen by DailyMail.com.

The development comes days after Hill was hauled out of his sports car by Miami Dade cops who pulled him over for a traffic violation outside Hard Rock Stadium ahead of a game Sunday.
Shocking video clips showed the eight-time Pro Bowler being cuffed and roughly pinned to the ground by several irate officers, one of whom has since been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.
‘If I wasn’t Tyreek Hill, worst-case scenario, we would’ve had a different article. Tyreek Hill got shot in front of Hard Rock Stadium, that’s the worst-case scenario,’ Hill told CNN afterwards.
‘It’s crazy that me and my family had to go through this.’
He has since walked that back somewhat saying: ‘I wish I could go back and do things a bit differently.’
Hill is known to be especially close to his mom who raised him in Douglas, Georgia, with the player’s dad Derrick Shaw. She has been an ever-present throughout his glittering gridiron career.
In 2022 he posted a touching YouTube video in which he gifted the pair new cars, a Tesla for Anesha and a Chrysler 300 for Derrick.
‘Today is the day I get a chance to do what every kid dreams of doing … I get a chance to bless my mom and dad with their dream vehicles,’ Hill says in the heart-warming clip.
He’s seen leading his mom to the swank vehicle in a blindfold.
‘Thank you, oh my God. I got a brand-new Tesla,’ she says, whipping off the blindfold and screaming ecstatically.
Anesha went viral last season when Hill celebrated a touchdown by lobbing the ball to her in the stands – only to see it intercepted by another fan who soon realized his mistake and handed it to her.
Court documents seen by DailyMail.com show Anesha was served with a subpoena last month to appear in a video deposition in the case in November
Last month it emerged that Hill’s mother had been accused of slapping a friend during an altercation while she was driving

She made the news again when she was accused of slapping a woman and breaking her necklace in July.
According to a police report obtained by TMZ she was driving a pal home from Tyreek’s Southwest Ranches mansion when they got into a fight and she kicked the woman out of her car.
She pulled the friend back into the vehicle seconds later but allegedly snapped her chain which she still had not repaired as of July 31, according to the report.

Sophie Hall’s February complaint says Hill started sending her ‘flirtatious’ Instagram messages a day after she enrolled her ten-year-old son in the Tyreek Hill Football Camp in May last year.
He flew her to Florida on June 28 and invited her to ‘hang’ at his mansion, which boasts a spa, putting green, NBA regulation basketball court and a turf football field.
British-born Hall had never played football before but Hill suggested she join him for practice drills so she could learn more about the offensive lineman position her son plays.
She claims she ’caused Hill to be pushed backwards, garnering laughter from the witnesses present at the time, including the Defendant’s mother, sister, friend and trainer.
‘Apparently embarrassed by his loss of stability as a result of contact by a woman during the “football play”, Mr. Hill’s attitude changed and he became angry.’
The 35-year-old influencer filed a lawsuit against the Miami Dolphins wide receiver last year claiming he left her with a broken leg after he charged at her during a playful football lesson at his Florida mansion
The actress and plus-size model is suing the scandal-plagued athlete for battery, assault and negligence, as well as damages in excess of $50,000
Hall – who is three inches taller than Hill – says the gridiron star ‘downplayed’ her injury, offering her ice and a bed to lie in
Hill instructed Hall to play offense, hiking the football to an imaginary quarterback, while Hill became a defensive pass rusher, the suit, filed in Broward County, adds.
‘Defendant Hill charged into her violently and with great force, resulting in significant and serious injuries,’ the suit adds.
‘The crushing force was so great that she sustained a right leg fracture, necessitating surgery with metal hardware implantation.’
Hall – who is three inches taller than Hill – says the gridiron star ‘downplayed’ her injury, offering her ice and a bed to lay in.
But after being ‘in pain and agony’ for days she was diagnosed with a right leg fracture which required surgery, weekly physio sessions and still causes her persistent pain and weakness.
Hill’s lawyers insist he never touched her during last June’s bust-up. They say she hurt herself tripping over a dog.
‘The notion that Mr. Hill became upset because Ms. Hall ‘held her own’ in playful football drills is absurd,’ Hill’s attorney Julius Collins previously told DailyMail.com.
Nicknamed ‘cheetah’ because of his blistering speed, Hill has been dogged by controversies dating back to 2014 when he was kicked off the team at Oklahoma State and received three years’ probation for choking ex-fiancée Crystal Espinal while she was pregnant with their first son, Zev Carter.

Hill was eventually released and went on to play on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars and at one point celebrated his 80-yard touchdown on Sunday by reenacting being put in handcuffs
In 2019 he was suspended by Kansas City over alleged child abuse allegations but was reinstated after he pleaded his innocence and a district attorney determined there was insufficient evidence to prove he had broken Zev’s arm.
The Chiefs later inked Hill to a three-year, $54million extension and he rewarded them by catching nine passes for 105 yards to spark their winning 31-20 comeback in Superbowl LIV.
Hill joined Miami in 2022 in a blockbuster trade and signed a record-breaking four-year, $120million extension for a wide receiver.
He finished the 2023 season with an NFL-leading 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns before Miami lost to the Chiefs in the AFC Wild Card Game.
Just weeks ago he was voted number one in the ‘NFL Top 100’ list by his peers.
Off the field, however, he got into another scrap when he was caught on CCTV in June 2023 allegedly slapping a marina employee who declined to press charges over the incident.
He also suffered a major house fire, became embroiled in paternity suits with multiple women and filed to divorce wellness influencer Keeta Vaccaro, 28, just months after marrying her.
Hill withdrew the petition within days, claiming it was filed by his lawyers without his knowledge. The couple are expecting their first child.
