Atlanta, GA — Promising college football standout Kristian Campbell has found himself at the center of an unexpected controversy — and a lawsuit — after neighbors accused him of disturbing the peace in the early hours of the morning with his brand-new Lamborghini Huracán.
According to the lawsuit filed this morning, Campbell allegedly revved the engine repeatedly and loudly “tested” the exhaust system of his luxury sports car around 2:10am while visibly under the influence of alcohol. The incident took place in a quiet, upscale gated community where residents claim they were “shaken out of their beds” by the explosive roar of the Lamborghini.
“It wasn’t just loud — it was violent,” said one neighbor, who claimed her baby woke up screaming and her elderly mother thought it was an emergency alert. “The whole villa sounded like it was under attack.”
Security footage shared by one homeowner appears to show Campbell stumbling slightly as he exited the driver’s side of the vehicle, laughing with friends while revving the engine in rapid bursts. When approached by a visibly upset neighbor, he allegedly replied:
“It’s a Lambo, man! It’s supposed to sound like that. You’re lucky I didn’t drift through the street.”
This sarcastic response only further angered the residents, several of whom have since united to file a civil lawsuit for noise violations, endangerment, and emotional distress.
The homeowners association has confirmed they received more than a dozen complaints from residents about the incident, prompting an emergency meeting. Some are now calling for stricter regulations regarding exotic vehicle ownership within the community.
Campbell has not issued a public statement, but sources close to him say he regrets the disruption and may be seeking to settle the matter privately. His university has also acknowledged the incident, stating:
“We are aware of the reports involving Kristian Campbell and are gathering more information before making further comment.”
The backlash has quickly made its way online, sparking heated debates. While some fans rushed to defend the young athlete, blaming youthful exuberance, others were far less forgiving.
“Talent doesn’t excuse being a terrible neighbor,” one Twitter user posted. “There’s a time and place for testing a supercar — 2am in a residential area is not it.”
For now, Kristian Campbell’s legal team is expected to respond to the suit later this week. Whether this turns into a minor fine or a major image setback for the rising star remains to be seen — but one thing is certain: next time he wants to test the limits of his Lamborghini, he’ll think twice about where and when.
