Former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher is being sued by Tyna Karageorge, the mother of Urlacher's 12-year-old son, for portraying Karageorge as a murderer following the 2016 death of her husband, according to Steve Schmadeke of the Chicago Tribune.
According to the Tribune, the lawsuit was filed Friday in Cook County Circuit Court and names Urlacher, the Tribune and reporter David Haugh as defendants. The suit claims that Urlacher conspired with his attorneys and the reporter to portray Karageorge as "a bad Mother, unfit and a killer" after the Dec. 29, 2016 death of her husband Ryan Karageorge, according to the Tribune.
