What is going on with the Miami Dolphins?
Last year, an unknown woman dropped her lawsuit against Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard that alleged the two-time All-Pro player lied to and negligently gave her genital herpes.
The woman filed a notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice — meaning the suit can be filed again.
Well, another lawsuit is now alleging a player on the team gave his then-girlfriend genital herpes without telling her he had the virus.
The plaintiff is claiming that both parties underwent the necessary tests for sexually transmitted infections (STI) after she noticed signs of infection on the Miami Dolphins player in question.
The lawsuit claims that both of them tested positive for genital and oral herpes.

The lawsuit claimed the player “owed a duty” to his ex to either refrain from sex or warn her that he was infected.
The Miami Dolphins player’s identity was attempted to be redacted by covering names with black boxes. However, the name was easily seen through with a simple copy/paste of the contents. However, the Miami New Times refused to release the identities to respect their privacy.
Back in March of last year, attorney Brad Sohn, one of Xavien Howard’s lawyers, took to social media to state that his client never had herpes.
“Xavien Howard never had genital herpes in the first place; the entire basis of her lawsuit was a literal impossibility,” part of Sohn’s Tweet said. “His accuser nevertheless lobbed out defamatory, absurd, and knowingly-false claims, as one of several (unsuccessful) attempts to extort money from him.”
He was also considering legal action against his accuser for defamation but nothing has happened and Howard has seemingly moved on.
It’s just a matter of time before that player’s name leaks out.
