Haley Kalil Toss My Ex's Penis Size Lawsuit, Judge

Published | Updated

UPDATE

1/28/2026 7:30 PM PT -- Haley's lawyer adds to the back and forth battle, telling us ... “Minnesota is so committed to protecting First Amendment rights that it recently passed a law allowing speakers to recover their attorneys’ fees if they are forced to endure a lawsuit for exercising those rights. We will be seeking such an award here.”

5:30 PM PT -- Legal counsel for Haley Kalil -- Matthew Bialick -- tells TMZ Sports ... “We moved to dismiss the complaint because Minnesota has a longstanding commitment to free speech, which is important now more than ever. Allowing a lawsuit to proceed against a woman for sharing a truthful, autobiographical account of sexual trauma would directly undermine those core values."

Bialick ends his statement to us with a counter to Matt's, saying ... "We believe the motion will be granted."

FREEDOM OF SPEECH???
TMZ.com

3:26 PM PT -- Matt Kalil's legal team scoffed at Haley's filing ... telling TMZ Sports she missed the point.

"Haley Kalil's motion to dismiss does not dispute the fact that she wantonly disclosed private and intimate details about Matt Kalil that resulted in widespread ridicule and unwanted attention," Ryan Saba of Rosen Saba LLP told us ... reiterating their stance that a "spouse does not have a right to expose private and confidential marital and sexual details for the purpose of profiting."

"We expect that the motion will be completely denied."

Haley Kalil is firing back at her ex-husband Matt Kalil after he sued her for shockingly claiming his penis size torpedoed their marriage ... and she wants his lawsuit thrown out of court.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Haley says Matt is cherry-picking comments she made on a November 2025 livestream ... and missing the point she was trying to make.

Haley says she praised Matt in the stream when she also described his penis as the size of two soda cans, and doubles down on her claim that his girth contributed to their 2022 divorce.

She says Matt had a "specific anatomical incompatibility that rendered a normal sexual relationship impossible" and says they had a "loving union that was ultimately hindered by an unfortunate physical incompatibility."

FORGIVENESS IS #1

Aloe Blacc is "The Man" when it comes to love and understanding ... at least according to a chat we just had with him about Ye -- formerly known as Kanye West -- and his controversial apology letter.

Blacc was all bundled up when we caught him out in NYC Wednesday ... but despite braving the freezing weather, the singer-songwriter had a warm response to Ye's latest apology.

Blacc said, "I think anytime anybody can show unconditional love and growth is a good time."

Of course, some have noted Ye has an album coming out, which could make the apology seem suspicious. The thinking is that the Wall Street Journal ad he took out Monday addressed to "Those I've Hurt," could just be a strategic ploy to get attention for the upcoming project.
