Dalvin Cook’s ex-girlfriend files lawsuit alleging physical, emotional abuse

A short time ago, we brought you the story of Minnesota Vikings’ running back Dalvin Cook and his agent declaring that Cook had been the victim of domestic abuse and an extortion attempt. Now, the other side of the story appears to be emerging.

Rochelle Olson and Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune are reporting that Gracelyn Trimble, the ex-girlfriend of Dalvin Cook mentioned in the earlier story, has filed a lawsuit against Cook, accusing him of assault, battery, and false imprisonment.

I won’t go into all of the details of the story here, but Trimble flew to the Twin Cities to break up with Cook in November of 2020 (I believe it’s 2020) and at that time Cook got angry with her and a fight ensued, wherein Cook “grabbed her arm, and slung her whole body over the couch, slamming her face into the coffee table and causing her lower forehead and the bridge of her nose to bust open.
