On Tuesday, Gracelyn Trimble filed a lawsuit in Dakota County (Minn.) against Cook alleging she was the victim of assault, battery and false imprisonment at Cook’s home on Nov. 19-20, 2020. Trimble also alleged in the suit that Cook “intentionally struck” her the week prior.

Cook’s attorney, David Valentini, responded to the allegations detailed in the lawsuit with a statement Tuesday, in which he said that Trimble broke into Cook’s home and assaulted Cook along with two house guests. Valentini also alleged Trimble and her attorneys are attempting to extort Cook.
Police were never called regarding the incident and no charges have been made at this time.
Cook told reporters Wednesday, prior to practice:
Today I just want everybody to know, I’m the victim in this situation, and the truth and the details about the situation will come out at a further time.
Cook added:
I would love to go in detail about the situation. But I don’t think that’ll be a good idea for me to sit here and talk about a situation that’s being handled on a different side.
Minnesota Vikings’ RB Dalvin Cook is the victim of domestic abuse and extortion – there’s pending litigation, according to his agent Zac Hiller.

An incident occurred over one year ago, when a female US Military Sergeant used a stolen garage door opener to enter Cook’s home and attack a guest of Cook’s and Cook, per Hiller. “Military Sergeant maced Cook directly in his eyes immediately upon illegally entering”, Hiller said
