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.
Cook’s attorney tells WCCO that he was trying to defend his cousin when the woman allegedly pulled out a handgun and held the men hostage for hours.
