Patrick Chung apparently has more than a broken arm to deal with this offseason.

A former Los Angeles Rams ticket executive is suing the New England Patriots safety over a bizarre trash-talking incident that occurred during Super Bowl LIII, TMZ Sports reported Thursday morning.

The man reportedly suing Chung, Matthew Hogan, told TMZ Sports the incident started with a text to Matthew Weymouth, a friend from college who also runs Chung's social media pages. After Chung broke his arm during the Patriots-Rams Super Bowl, Hogan texted Weymouth -- jokingly, he claims -- "Patrick Chung is a bitch."

According to Hogan, Weymouth responded by posting screenshots of Hogan's texts on Chung's Instagram and Facebook pages and outing Hogan as a Rams employee in one post that included the following caption:

"This is disrespectful of you. I would never wish or say anything like this to anyone after they just broke their arm. You should be ashamed bro."

(Chung appears to have taken these posts down since then, as they don't appear on his Facebook or Instagram.)

After Hogan was fired from his job and claimed he couldn't find work elsewhere, he reportedly sued Chung, Weymouth and others for defamation, seeking a total of more than $1.75 million.

It's a pretty strange story that likely will have a few more twists and turns before it's resolved. Chung, meanwhile, will be focused on getting back on the field after undergoing two offseason surgeries on his broken arm.
