Thomas is a nose tackle who played for the San Diego Chargers last year.

Adrienne is also claiming Thomas was physically abusive to her during their relationship.

She's suing for sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraud through intentional concealment and negligence, and asking for unspecified damages.
