    Chiefs Cheerleader Sues Team Player for Sexual Harassment by Flirting with Her While Already Married
    The entire Kansas City Chiefs Kingdom is in TOTAL SHOCK right now! One of the most stunning and popular members of the Chiefs Cheerleaders squad, the gorgeous Madelyn (a 4-year veteran and social media darling), has just filed a bombshell 27-page lawsuit against a current Chiefs player for relentless sexual harassment, even though he’s been married with a toddler at home! According to court documents obtained exclusively by our team, the nightmare started at the beginning of the 2025 season. At first it was “innocent” Instagram DMs like “You looked unreal on the field today” and “I couldn’t take my eyes off you,” but things quickly turned creepy and obsessive. The player Madelyn is suing? None other than tight end Noah Gray – the 26-year-old backup who’s been married since 2023 to his college sweetheart and has an 18-month-old daughter. Madelyn states in the lawsuit: Noah Gray slid into her DMs and texted her between 1–3 a.m. multiple nights per week, even when she left him on read Sent shirtless locker-room selfies with captions like “Is this your type?” 😳 Waited for her after cheer practice to end just to “invite her to late-night dinner – just the two of us” (she always said no) Started randomly showing up at charity events she attended as a Chiefs Cheerleader representative and taking photos of her without permission In her own words: “I just want to do my job and cheer for the Chiefs in peace. I’ve told him clearly I’m not interested, but he won’t stop. The middle-of-the-night calls terrify me, I can’t sleep, and it’s destroying my mental health.” Latest updates: Chiefs management has launched an immediate internal investigation and has banned Noah Gray from any contact with the cheerleading squad Sources say Noah’s wife “lost it” when she saw the messages and is now talking divorce Chiefs Kingdom is split – some guys say “it’s just flirting,” but the vast majority (especially female fans) are 100% Team Madelyn and demanding he be cut from the roster #JusticeForMadelyn and #ChiefsScandal are already trending with over 2 MILLION posts in the last 24 hours!
