Former Ole Miss offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil is one of the top prospects in the 2016 NFL Draft, and he’s about to become a rich man once he gets drafted and signs his contract. Unfortunately, his stepfather Lindsey Miller decided to sue Tunsil with the announcement coming on Wednesday, around 30 hours before Tunsil realizes his NFL dream.
The lawsuit states:
“Defendant Tunsil pushed Mr. Miller against the wall in the hallway, causing him to fall,” the lawsuit says. “The disabled Navy combat veteran was simply unable to protect himself from the unprovoked assault by the six-foot-five-inch, 305-pound, powerfully-strong offensive tackle.
“After Defendant Tunsil had completely overpowered the now-helpless Mr. Miller, the All-American offensive lineman pounded the disabled American veteran severely, striking him with his fists multiple times. It took approximately four men to pull Defendant Tunsil from him.”
This isn’t the first lawsuit surrounding this incident between the two. Tunsil and Miller filed domestic violence charges against each other, but the charges were dropped before they went to court. Tunsil claimed he was protecting his mom from abuse while Miller said the attack was unprovoked.
Obviously, we weren’t present so there’s no way to know exactly what happened, but this feels suspicious. To sue your stepson the day before he gets drafted to the NFL, knowing that Tunsil is about to become a rich young man certainly raises some red flags. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail.
