Eric Moulds, a former standout wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, is facing serious allegations in a newly filed lawsuit accusing him of knowingly infecting multiple women with an incurable sexually transmitted disease. The lawsuit, filed by a New York woman, claims Moulds deliberately concealed his diagnosis while pursuing relationships and exploiting his status as a former NFL player to gain trust and access.
Allegations of Intentional Misconduct
The plaintiff alleges that Moulds, a three-time Pro Bowler who played for the Bills from 1996 to 2005, failed to disclose his medical condition before engaging in intimate relationships. According to the suit, Moulds used his celebrity status to build trust with women, including Buffalo Bills fans, and intentionally withheld information about his diagnosis.
The lawsuit accuses Moulds of creating circumstances where victims were unknowingly exposed, leading to significant physical, emotional, and psychological harm.
Details of the Case
The complaint, filed earlier this week in New York State Superior Court, outlines how Moulds initiated contact with the plaintiff through Instagram in 2023. After extended conversations online, he reportedly invited her on an “all-expenses-paid trip” to Charlotte, North Carolina, where the two met in person. The woman claims that Moulds, despite being aware of his diagnosis, engaged in a relationship with her without disclosing his condition, resulting in her contraction of the disease.
The lawsuit further alleges that this pattern of behavior extended beyond the plaintiff, suggesting that other women may have been similarly affected.
Legal and Emotional Fallout
The plaintiff is seeking compensation for physical harm, emotional distress, and ongoing health complications resulting from Moulds’ alleged actions. Her legal team has emphasized the long-term impact of the disease on her health and well-being, pointing to the betrayal of trust and the exploitation of Moulds’ public image.
The revelations have sparked broader conversations about the ethical and legal responsibilities of public figures in personal relationships. Advocates are urging for stricter laws to deter such behavior and provide justice for victims who find themselves in similar situations.

Public and Professional Reaction
Moulds, who has not yet issued a public statement addressing the allegations, remains under scrutiny as the case unfolds. Known for his stellar performances on the field during his time with the Bills, the allegations represent a stark contrast to the image of the player who was once celebrated as one of the NFL’s most consistent receivers.
Fans and former teammates have expressed shock at the accusations, while some are calling for patience and due process before passing judgment. However, the gravity of the claims has undoubtedly cast a shadow over his legacy.
Calls for Accountability and Prevention
The lawsuit has reignited discussions about transparency, accountability, and the responsibilities of public figures in personal relationships. Advocates and legal experts are calling for more robust legal frameworks to prevent intentional harm in such cases and ensure victims have adequate recourse.
Looking Ahead
As legal proceedings move forward, this case will be closely watched for its implications, not only for Moulds but also for broader societal discussions about health disclosure, personal responsibility, and the dynamics of relationships involving public figures.
For the victims, it’s about seeking justice and ensuring that similar behavior is discouraged in the future. For Moulds, the coming weeks and months will determine how these allegations affect his personal and professional reputation.
