An unidentified woman filed a lawsuit against Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard last year. She had alleged that the two-time All-Pro player misled her and caused her genital herpes through negligence. The claim was later abandoned. The woman was able to reopen the lawsuit by filing a notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice.
According to a new complaint, one of the team’s players gave his ex-girlfriend genital herpes without disclosing to her that he was infected.
The plaintiff alleges that when she observed symptoms of infection on the Miami Dolphins player in issue, both parties had the required testing for sexually transmitted diseases (STIs). Both of them tested positive for oral and genital herpes, according to the lawsuit.

Incredible new details about Miami players lawsuit
According to the lawsuit, the athlete “owed a duty” to his former partner to either not have intercourse with her or inform her that he was sick.
It was attempted to conceal the identify of the Miami Dolphins player by using black boxes to obscure names. But a quick copy and paste of the contents revealed the name with ease. To protect their privacy, the Miami New Times declined to reveal the identities.
One of Xavien Howard’s attorneys, Brad Sohn, claimed on social media in March of last year that his client had never had herpes. Brad said,
“Xavien Howard never had genital herpes in the first place; the entire basis of her lawsuit was a literal impossibility,” “His accuser nevertheless lobbed out defamatory, absurd, and knowingly-false claims, as one of several (unsuccessful) attempts to extort money from him.”
The anonymous accuser who sued my client for transmitting genital herpes has permanently dropped what we proved was a fabricated lawsuit. Xavien Howard never had genital herpes in the first place; the entire basis of her lawsuit was a literal impossibility. His accuser…

In addition, he was thinking of suing his accuser for defamation, but nothing has come of it, and it appears that Howard has moved on. The player’s name will eventually come to light.
