Bills Cheerleader Sues Bills Player for Sexual Harassment After He Relentlessly Flirted With Her – Despite Being Married with a Child
BUFFALO, NY – December 11, 2025 A bombshell lawsuit has just been filed in Erie County Court that has all of Western New York talking.
Ashley, the 24-year-old face of the Buffalo Jills and widely regarded as the squad’s most popular and recognizable cheerleader, has officially sued a current Buffalo Bills player for what her legal team calls “persistent and unwanted sexual harassment through aggressive flirting” – even though the player is married with a young child.
Court documents obtained today name 27-year-old Shane Buechele – the Bills’ third-string QB who married his high-school sweetheart Reiley in 2022 and has a 2-year-old son – as the defendant.
What the lawsuit alleges:
- Since the start of the 2025 season, Buechele allegedly began sending Ashley private Instagram messages after every home game, complimenting her looks and performances with increasingly suggestive language.
- Multiple late-night phone calls (some as late as 2-3 a.m.) in which Buechele allegedly complained about his lack of playing time, “just wanted to hear her voice,” and invited her for private coffee meet-ups.
- Unsolicited shirtless and suggestive photos sent directly to Ashley’s phone.
- Repeatedly showing up “by coincidence” at community and charity events Ashley was scheduled to attend, creating unwanted one-on-one encounters.
In the filing, Ashley states: “I made it crystal clear on multiple occasions that I only wanted a professional relationship and was focused on my career. He completely ignored my boundaries. The middle-of-the-night calls left me terrified and suffering from severe insomnia. This has taken a serious toll on my mental health.”
Immediate fallout:
- The Buffalo Bills have suspended Shane Buechele indefinitely without pay pending an internal investigation.
- Reiley Buechele has locked all of her social media accounts and has made no public statement.
- Ashley’s attorney says they will seek damages “well into seven figures” and hope the case sets a precedent for better protection of NFL cheerleaders league-wide.
- The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and may impose additional discipline.
One Bills Mafia is completely split:
- #TeamAshley supporters are demanding Buechele be cut immediately: “Married with a kid and still doing this? Disgusting.”
- Others are calling it an overreaction: “Flirty DMs and compliments? This feels like a money grab or a PR stunt.”
The case is still in its earliest stages, with an initial court appearance expected in early 2026.
