Kalil, who has built a massive online following for her humorous and unfiltered personality, discussed aspects of her former relationship that surprised many fans. Though she didn’t go into explicit detail, her remarks hinted at deeper issues that contributed to the couple’s separation. The conversation spread quickly across social platforms, drawing millions of views within hours and generating thousands of comments from fans debating her candor:
“We were trying to do the damn thing and [putting in work in their marriage],” she said during a recent appearance on Twitch with popular streamer Marlon.
“Deadass … for our whole marriage, deadass. But I was going to try it all. We tried it all: therapist, doctors. Not even lying … Looked up lipo-type s–t … That’s why it’s kinda funny. It’s like my life is a comedy, and it kinda writes itself,” Hayley added.
“That was the biggest factor.”
The model, 33, then said that, though she has “love” for her “homie,” the former Minnesota Vikings player’s p*nis size is “like .01 percent of the population.”
“We’ve tried, impossible unless you’re going to be in tears,” she added.
