Minnesota Vikings star Dalvin Cook is facing a lawsuit from a former girlfriend for alleged assault, battery and false imprisonment after an altercation at his home, the Star Tribune reported on Tuesday. However, the running back is accusing the woman of instead assaulting and extorting him.
Cook’s attorney, David Valentini, said the woman unlawfully entered Cook’s home, assaulted him and has been trying to settle her claim for “millions of dollars.”
