When Laremy Tunsil’s social-media accounts were hacked Thursday night during the first round of the NFL draft, suspicion immediately turned to Tunsil’s stepfather, Lindsay Miller, who filed a defamation lawsuit against the Ole Miss offensive lineman on the eve of the draft.

But Tunsil’s attorney says that, as far as he knows, Miller isn’t behind the hack.

“Initially, that would be the low-hanging fruit,” Steve Farese told Sirius XM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio over the weekend. “Now I’ve drifted away from those thoughts and don’t believe he had anything to do with it.”

The bad feelings between Tunsil and his stepfather go back to at least June, when they both filed domestic-violence charges against each other after a scuffle in Mississippi. Tunsil told police that he confronted his stepfather after Miller attacked his mother, Desiree Polingo. Miller told police that Tunsil attacked him after he warned the college football standout about his contact with agents. The two sides dropped their charges in August, though Miller contends in his lawsuit that Tunsil’s story is untrue and that he defamed him by telling his coaches, whom he knew would alert reporters.

So naturally, Miller was suspected by many of being behind Thursday night’s hack, in which a video of Tunsil taking a bong hit and incriminating text messages between Tunsil and an Ole Miss football staffer were posted to the player’s Twitter and Instagram accounts.

The Miami Dolphins, who took Tunsil with the draft’s 13th pick, have their own suspicions, according to Andrew Abramson of the Palm Beach Post.

“Dolphins believe it was former financial advisor of Laremy Tunsil who leaked gas mask video, according to a source,” Abrahamson tweeted.

Abramson also said that Tunsil had fired the adviser before the draft.

“There’s rumors out there about some financial agent, but that’s only something I read, and until we get to some facts of the situation, who can say?” Farese said, adding that Tunsil will consider a civil suit against the hacker, whomever it is.
