A Mexican vacation went very wrong for Von Miller when a very private moment with Cuban model Elizabeth Ruiz became very public-both legally and in the public relations sense. The two had been vacationing together in Cancun in June 2016, during which their intimate encounter was filmed by Ruiz. Fast-forward to today, and Miller is embroiled in a nightmare: Ruiz is asking for $2.5 million for the return of footage.
Ruiz is not contented with just spilling the beans about their tryst; she wants to make money from it. She is planning to sell the sex tape, a fact that has placed Miller in a tight and helpless situation. The Denver Broncos star, known for his prowess on the football field, is now fighting in court to stop Ruiz from distributing the video.
This is because Miller, currently on a private vacation in Mexico, has filed for court action to destroy the tape and preserve his privacy, while Ruiz has become resolute in selling it and making money from that private moment. What should have been a no-worries Mexican vacation for him has just turned into a big legal and personal headache.
While Miller might now be having second thoughts about the time he spent with Ruiz, it’s clear that matters have gone a long way beyond a mix-up on holiday. He is doing everything in his power to try to stop the tape from being released, seeking both legal protection and the restoration of his privacy.
Good Times in Mexico
The disputed sex tape, which Von Miller would want Cuban model Elizabeth Ruiz to sell back to him for $2.5 million, is at the center of the court battle. Filmed in Cancun, Mexico, the tape was from a June 2016 vacation where Miller had rented an 11,500-square-foot beachfront luxury house for himself and his lady, Ruiz, and their travel companions. What was supposed to be a private retreat has now become a legal headache for the Denver Broncos star.
Ruiz, seeking to cash in on the footage, filed a lawsuit, asking for a hefty sum in return for the tape. Miller, however, is fighting to prevent the release and keep his privacy intact, asking the court to intervene and have the tape destroyed. What started as a luxurious holiday for Miller has snowballed into a very public spat, which he now hopes to resolve through the courts.
The group had the time of their lives riding jet skiing, lounging by the pool, and parasailing. To add to the fun, Miller and Ruiz spent some time indoors, away from the group.
Miller has said that he knew Ruiz was filming their sex romp on her mobile phone but requested to keep the tape private. Later on, he asked Ruiz to delete the tape, to which he says she replied “Gotcha!”
Court Steps In
Reports say that Ruiz tried to sell this sex tape to TMZ and a “sex tape broker,” but the deal did not work out. That’s when Ruiz supposedly asked Miller to cough up $2.5 million for getting the tape back.
Terrified of what the release of the tape would do to his reputation, Miller filed a petition in front of a Los Angeles judge requesting the law to bar her from “selling or commercially exploiting the tape.” The judge has issued a temporary restraining order to Ruiz so that she cannot make copies, release or distribute this tape in question.
