Von Miller is exceptional at playing defense.
He won the Super Bowl MVP as a member of the Denver Broncos due to his first-rate pass rushing ability.
But Miller is now learning that it’s one thing to play defense against Cam Newton… and quite another thing to play defense against a woman you slept with; who videotaped the encounter; and who is now extorting you for millions of dollars.
Not even the best swim move in professional football can help in this situation!
According to The Smoking Gun, the Denver linebacker is attempting to stop the distribution of a sex tape made this June in Mexico.
In court documents obtained by the website (in which Miller is referred to as “John Doe”), and also by TMZ, Miller’s legal team claims that the star athlete’s sex partner in the film, Elizabeth Ruiz, wants “to be the next Kim Kardashian.”
Miller does not deny that he gave it to Ruiz.
And he also seems to admit he knew she was filming their banging session on her cellphone.
But he either didn’t care at the time because he was in the middle of some serious pounding… or he trusted that Ruiz would never release the footage to the public.
Soon after the trip, however, Miller says he reached out to Ruiz and asked her to destroy the recording – to which she replied: “Gotcha!”
Ouch. Damn. We’d expect more from someone Miller randomly met in Cancun.
Based on these same official papers, which were filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Miller says Ruiz tried to sell the sex tape to TMZ, but got shot down.
He goes on to allege that Ruiz is demanding $ 2.5 million from the linebacker or else she will find another outlet with which to partner and make the video go viral.
Attorneys for Miller claim that Ruiz has already approached “widely known ‘sex tape broker’” for assistance. We’re guessing this is a reference to Stephen Hirsch of Vivid Entertainment.
As for why Miller would just go ahead and have sex with someone he didn’t know very well/
Here’s a photo of Elizabeth Ruiz. And let’s just say it was the most safe-for-work picture we could find of her on Instagram.
Fortunate, Miller received a break in the case on Monday when Los Angeles Judge Amy Hogue issued a temporary restraining order against Ruiz, preventing her from copying or distributing the video.
This doesn’t mean the battle is over, however. It’s just on hold.
The world may end up seeing Von Miller scoring in a way unrelated to the football field at some point.
If you know what we mean.
