Vikings RB Dalvin Cook Sued By Ex-Girlfriend For Abuse; Cook’s Lawyer Claims Woman Held Him At Gunpoint

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is being sued by his ex-girlfriend for alleged physical and emotional abuse.

The lawsuit stems from an incident in November of 2020, when the woman allegedly showed up at Cook’s home unannounced. Once inside, a fight broke out between the woman, Cook and Cook’s cousin.

WCCO has not been able to see a copy of the lawsuit, but according to reports, the woman claims Cook slammed her into a coffee table and overpowered her when she tried to mace him.
