Detroit Lions captain Alex Anzalone is at the center of controversy after an ex-partner leaked explicit images of him on Instagram, sparking widespread reaction across social media.
The league has reportedly launched an internal review to determine whether Anzalone violated any policies, though many argue he is the victim of an invasion of privacy. While there is no confirmation of disciplinary action yet, the league’s strict conduct policy means a potential suspension or fine cannot be ruled out.
Fans and fellow players have voiced their support for Anzalone, condemning the unauthorized leak. Legal experts suggest he may pursue action against the individual responsible for distributing the images.
Anzalone has not yet issued a public statement, but sources close to the situation indicate he is considering his legal options. The league’s handling of this case could set an important precedent for personal privacy in professional sports.
