It's been a whirlwind of controversy for former University of Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore, who found himself on the wrong side of the law and the headlines. Just two days after his release from Washtenaw County Jail on December 12, 2025, Moore reportedly reached out to popular OnlyFans model and fitness influencer Mia Sorety via Instagram's direct messages. Sorety, who boasts a massive following of around 1.7 million on Instagram, confirmed this unexpected contact. She described Moore as "really pissed" about her discussing their previous interactions.
“He seemed more upset about the public chatter than his own legal mess,” Sorety noted, emphasizing her innocence in breaking the story that caught media attention.
According to sports podcast host Justin Spiro and other media coverage, Moore's message—set to disappear after being read—expressed his frustrations over Sorety’s public comments. Interestingly, this digital exchange happened just hours after Moore posted a hefty $25,000 bond following his arraignment for several serious charges, including a felony count of third-degree home invasion.
The intriguing interactions between Moore and Sorety reportedly stretch back to at least 2024. Sorety has claimed that Moore reached out to her during halftime of Michigan's notable game against Ohio State on November 29, 2025, and even extended an invite after the Wolverines clinched the 2024 national championship. However, Sorety later clarified via social media that Moore didn't offer any inducements, such as season tickets, for group activities as initially reported by some sources.
While these allegations simmer, they remain separate from the university's previous investigation that resulted in Moore's dismissal. The findings showed Moore had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, believed to be executive assistant Paige Shiver. Meanwhile, the criminal charges are tied to a separate incident where Moore allegedly entered a woman’s home unlawfully, leading to a tense confrontation.
As the University of Michigan continues its internal probe, law enforcement agencies are pressing on with their investigations. A probable cause conference is slated for January 2026, and with the public eye firmly on this unfolding drama, more revelations are anticipated. The situation highlights critical issues surrounding personal conduct for those in high-profile positions, with Moore's choices under intense scrutiny.
This saga has captivated the media and public alike, as everyone waits to see what will surface next in this unfolding story.
