Devin Haney is not taking his baby mama’s allegations lying down.
According to recently filed court records, the 26-year-old star boxer is accusing Leena Sayed, the mother of his young daughter, of “repeatedly” pushing false and defamatory statements about him in an attempt to extort him for money. Haney, who has a reported net worth of $6 million, claims Sayed threatened him with “reputational ruin” and “loss of rights to visit his daughter.”
His filing comes nearly two months after the influencer was granted a temporary restraining order against him, accusing her ex of multiple instances of abuse, some of which she alleges took place during her pregnancy. She also publicly accused him of being a deadbeat father, something he fired back against on social media.
Haney argues that Sayed caused intentional emotional distress with false claims and is now seeking an unspecified amount of damages.
“Devin will not be extorted, intimidated, or coerced by anyone. He will defend his name and his values against any false narratives or malicious attempts to undermine his character. Devin Haney stands firm in the truth,” his rep said in a statement to TMZ.
The ex-lovers were first linked in 2023. They welcomed their daughter, Khrome, on January 2nd, 2025.
The next court date regarding Sayed’s restraining order is scheduled for next month in Los Angeles.
