Dwayne Haskins Jr.’s parents and his sister have had enough of his widow, Kalabrya Haskins.
The two sides, who did not meet each other until after his death, are going to war against each other, which will now lead them to court.
Haskins Jr.’s parents and his sister filed a lawsuit against Dwayne Haskins Jr.’s widow, formally accusing her of misusing his name and image on social media and refusing to share her husband’s ashes.
Haskins’ mother and father, Tamara and Dwayne Haskins Sr., and sister, Tamia Haskins, are also suing Kalabrya Haskins as they alleged she has been harassing them over their attempts to use his name and image on social media.
The lawsuit claims that Kalabrya Haskins has complained about the family posting about Haskins Jr. on Instagram, which has led to the social media platform disabling their accounts.
According to the complaint, per Triblive, the plaintiffs have “experienced constant harassment from the defendant whenever they have attempted to reference his name, image, and likeness in public forums such as social media.”

One complaint stated Haskins Sr.’s account was disabled because he “created ‘an account that looks like it belongs to a celebrity.’”
“This decision was made despite the fact that Dwayne Haskins Sr. simply shares the same name as his famous son, but has not otherwise posted any content on Instagram,” the complaint said.
Dwayne Haskins’ Estate Reached Settlement Over His Untimely Death
Last year, the estate of late NFL quarterback Dwayne Haskins reached a “partial settlement” in its lawsuit against the driver, the owner, and the broker of the dump truck that struck and killed the QB.
Haskins tragically passed away in 2022 while he was reportedly walking on a South Florida highway to retrieve gas.
His family alleged at the time that the driver of the truck was speeding, driving carelessly, and had a cargo load exceeding the legal weight limit.
At the time of his death, Haskins had ketamine in his system and a blood alcohol content of at least .20%.
He was only 24.
