ChatGPT may lead to the demise of an ex-NFL star. A preliminary hearing recently took place against Darron Lee, revealing some startling information about the Super Bowl champion.
Detectives say that the former linebacker posed a question to the AI chatbot, not knowing what to do about his girlfriend. A body camera video shown in court had Darron interacting with law enforcement outside of his home in Ooltewah, Tennessee. Police found his girlfriend dead inside the home in early February.

Some new evidence shared in court could have Darron in a world of trouble. The day before he called 9-1-1, ChatGPT revealed him allegedly saying, “Don’t know what to do right now.” He reportedly adds, “Fiancée did her crazy thing again, and now she’s messed up, I wake up, and she has two swollen eyes (I didn’t do anything, self-inflicted), she stabbed herself, slit her eye?”
The prosecution then showed ChatGPT’s response, which read, “Here’s what to say without framing it as police trouble.” Darron is facing a first-degree murder charge in the death of Gabriella Carvalho Perpétuo.
The ChatGPT reveal isn’t the only suspicious thing that investigators found. They claim that inside the home, there were signs of a violent struggle and injuries consistent with an accidental fall. Prosecutors previously said in court that the victim suffered blunt force trauma and multiple other injuries.
Darron is the latest person with ties to the Kansas City Chiefs to be in trouble with the law. In February, a report came out that Patrick Mahomes Sr. could face a stiff penalty for allegedly violating his drunk driving probation. The father of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had been on parole for driving while intoxicated (DWI) in 2023. Darron was a part of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl-winning team in the 2019 season.
Gabriella’s family has filed a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against Darron. He is currently in custody without bond.
