Woman makes disturbing allegations against NFL cornerback Xavien Howard

The former Miami Dolphins cornerback allegedly sent sexual images to a minor after his mother refused to have an abortion.

There are serious allegations against NFL cornerback Xavien Howard in connection with sexually explicit images and videos.

Court documents obtained by the Miami Herald show that the former All-Pro allegedly sent explicit content to a woman he was in a relationship with and her underage son after she refused to have an abortion.

The Miami Herald reported that these allegations are part of a broader lawsuit against Howard, which also accuses him of repeatedly sharing explicit videos of another woman after their relationship ended. The latest lawsuit requests that the minor, who is unnamed and was under 18 at the time, be allowed to sue Howard as part of the ongoing case.

Court documents show that Howard was in a relationship with a woman in 2022. When she became pregnant that fall, Howard allegedly demanded that she have an abortion. When she refused, the lawsuit says, Howard “went on the warpath against her” and sent sexually explicit photos of the woman to their other son, causing “significant emotional distress.”

The Miami Herald further reported that Howard had the boy’s phone number because the woman sometimes texted Howard from her son’s phone. Although she deleted the messages, her son later discovered them through his iCloud account.

This incident follows another lawsuit filed by another woman who claimed that Howard sent “multiple sexually explicit videos” of her and others after their split in July 2022. According to CBS News, Howard told that woman he shared the videos to “make her angry because she didn’t want to have sex with him.” She stated that while Howard did record their intimate moments once with her knowledge, he distributed them without her consent.

In addition, the woman revealed that she was contacted by another woman who claimed that Howard had sent her explicit photos and videos of various women. Howard, who played in 13 games last season and was a first-team All-Pro in 2020, was released by the Dolphins in March despite having three years left on his contract. He is currently a free agent and neither he nor the team responded to CBS News for comment.
